To make the front end lighter, I transport with my mirage drive bungeed on the back and my game bag flopped over the seat.

Thanks for the info, that's very helpful.

Followup question on the Groovy: How tall are the knuckles when mounted/what's the diameter of their extrusion? I have the kayak stored above the garage door and there isn't much room left over. It looks like these will fit, but I can't find the actual dimensions online. Thanks!
