I got the parts this morning. I think I want to make adjustments so that it has less space in between the bikes, but I don't know what a good distance for that would be. Anyone have any ideas?

Also, I think I'll make two sets of the smaller inserts so that I can have the mountain bike size AND the road bike size. Keep the roadbike size in (cause we have three 700c wheeled bikes) and have the slightly long inserts ready for our mountain bikes that we keep down in storage. Any ideas on how much smaller the roadbike piece should be?

Here is the link to the project and a picture of how the rack should look for mountainbikes with more space in between the three bikes.

I'm gonna make in tomorrow so any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks, Dave
