I was setting up my bike rack last night (adding a couple trays) and pondered the question, ‘what arrangement of trays is going to be the most aerodynamic.’ Has anyone else given this any thought????
Here’s the scenario:
4 trays on top of an SUV. All trays have fork mounts. Is it better to have all 4 alternating direction (facing forward, next tray facing towards the rear, etc.) allowing all the bike to be as compact/close together as possible?? Is it better to have the two outside trays facing forward (this would mean the two inside trays would be facing rearward). Or maybe the two outside trays should be facing rearward (having the two inside trays facing forward).
Is this a dumb questions?? It most certainly is!!!! However, I’m willing to bet I’m not the ONLY person to consider such things!!!!
What set-up do your use and why??
