|   Disc brakes on a Yakima Steelhead tray? | UzziRidin'
Mar 12, 2002 8:01 AM | | I'm in the market for a used bike rack for my Jeep. Ultimately I'm looking for the Yakima Viper tray, but since there relatively new, I haven't found one yet along with a complete setup. But I have seen quite a few Steelheads.
My question:
I have a RockShox Psylo SL with Shimano XT Disc brakes, will this fit on a Steelhead tray?
I'm also looking at Thule's Velo-vise, since they have a disc brake adaptor for $25 bux.
Thanks,
UzziRidin' |

The fork up will work but it is not as secure. Save your money for bike upgrades and cut the tray. |

The Fork Up is totally secure, will never come undone from rack, its also transversiable from rack to rack. You can get the Viper mount, but if your riding buddies dont have a similar rack... your driving. Get the Fork Up and be done with it. |
