1st time bike rafting

[ywen]

Sirocco:

Without knowing your bike's frame design it's hard to suggest a repeatable method. Just throw your bike onto the raft and figure ways to tighten it down via the attachment points. I used a bunch of toe straps and two adjustable length bungee cords. It was a bit tricky figuring out an arrangement that kept the fork high above the water line.

Here are also some ideas http://www.youtube.com/user/alpackar...?feature=watch

Thanks man,

I ride an FSR Stumpjumper and also a Salsa Vaya depending on occasion and cargo. Will try it out.

I should probably start a packrafting thread but seeing as I posted here before and my intention is to use a bike...

I went out for the 1st time on the raft on Tuesday. I wrote a little blurb here: http://siroccoverland.com/2012/06/27...t-time-out-uk/

very pleased with it. I just need to find some good put in/take out points on this river as everything is high so with a bike I don't think it would be possible. I need some shallows to try it 1st.

Spraydeck was a great addition, fully recommended.
