Gear racks by MTN Tech Fab and CFR
There is a forecasted 2 feet of snow on the way and as the flakes begin to fly I take time today to prepare the backcountry taxi. We are now equipped with a snowboard rack from Cheetah Factory Racing (CFR).
I normally ride with my board on my pack without too much problem. Of coarse there is the occasional jolt from the snowboard hitting a tree while I’m in narrow forest. I’ve never been plucked, but I could see the potential.
I got my rack from Mountain Tech Fabrications. I had to use a “spacer kit” to mount the brackets to my stock RX-1 mountain. With the 1 inch rubber spacers the rack is mounted off the tunnel, this gave the board clearance from the exhaust pipes. The spacers act as risers when mounted horizontally on the back of the sled. The one inch here gives the board a slight nose forward position on the sled. This helps keep the snowboard out of the way while hill climbing or deep POW, and stable on bumps or crashes (trying to avoid these).
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
