  • Anyone on here think this is nuts - before I try it. It's an idea for schlepping my big ladder without having to use my van. Ladder is 3.6m. The idea is some sort of pivoting coupling on ebd of my UA pannier rack, and a pair of wheels clamped to the other end of the ladder, probably with a visibility flag on back

  • Just put it in your rucksack

  • I guess main problem will be cornering, I'd want to recce my route before going out with that. Neat idea though. I did onCE strap a 6 rung stepladder to the rack on my MTB but this is next level(s)

  • Would a surfboard-rack style rack not be a bit less unwieldy? E.g.

    Obviously affixed to the cargo area rather than frame.

  • If you couple the ladder to your seatpost using a ball joint (ie haerry clamps that Carla cargo use) i think it will be fine and cornering will not be an issue

  • I built a trailer specifically to be adaptable for long loads after getting a section of 4x8 (NA plywood spec) home by tying one end to my rack and the other to our Burley Travoy. It wasn’t easy, but it was inspiring…
    The one I built has an arm that can be switched out for any length, making it useful for longer loads.

  • Did this a few years ago, skateboard, some straps and some walking poles. I did put a light on the bottom rung though 😂

  • It sort of seems like a matter of time before a careless driver smashes into that!
