    Tiltons in the background, legs on front, braces pointed outwards.

    Just a note to add. I'm using 1 1/2" steel tube to retain the wheel/tires in the event of an accident but will run a PVC spacer outside of the steel tubing.

    I just built one for the enclosed myself, if I remember when I get home I can post it's dimensions. It too holds 8 CMC tires but it also folds up. I robbed some intellectual property from Ryan Rahjes' rack.

    The engineer in my feels these racks need fore-aft triangulation. Otherwise, very nice.

    Should be a simple fix by adding a cross brace to the sides. (triangles > rectangles in the engineering world)

    Looks like a nice set up, man. I'll definitely mimic your design when I get a trailer. Thanks for sharing!

    Too lazy to redraw plans at the moment in a way that's legible, but here it is in all its glory. Held to the wall with 15 screws and already survived a 240 mile round trip on shit roads. So much more room for activities! Before:
