I was looking at various rack manufactures (yakima, thule, rocky mounts) and while 9 mm QR-type fork mounts are plentiful, 20 mm ones seem to be non-existant. Rocky Mounts has a tray that fits 3.0 tires, but I doubt anyone will be using a QR front axle on a DH bike.
If you have a thru-axle fork, I assume you are forced to throw it in the back of your truck. I never was a fan of hitch- or trunk-mount racks, but maybe they've improved significantly to make them as good as roof racks.
(Perhaps a getting a little tech-talky here):
I was lying awake one night thinking about the grievous injustice that 20 mm fork owners have to suffer while transporting their bikes, and I was thinking off a way to fabricate a 20 mm mount. However, since every system is different, and changing, I was thinking that the only goood way to this would be to clamp on the axle between the fork, since the dropouts aren't standard a la a quick release. Beyond that I haven't figured out a way to make a simple and reliable design, though.
Anyone ever have similar thoughts? Maybe some ideas about this? I was trying to come up with a design that could be done in a machine shop, although I don't have much reason to do it since I don't have a thru-axle fork. Or a car to mount it on, for that matter. But both of those things would be nice to get, so a guy can always dream.
