Hi all, at last after months of preparation we are about to embark on the Big Trip, starting from Melbourne, up the centre to Darwin then over to the east coast and back. We have up to eight months, even more if we feel like it..yeah, I know we are lucky. We will be mainly on the major roads, not got a 4wd for off road. Hear that most roads we will be on are now tarmac..
Anyhow just wanting to know if anyone has taken bicycles on bike rack behind their camper on this sort of route as we are and found the dust damaged the gears/brakes/chain etc? We are considering getting custom made covers for the bikes but have been quoted $150-200 each, so wondering if this is really necessary, granted the roads we will be travelling.
Thanks in advance.
