Very interesting! I knew that product existed. I'd really love to demo one to see its pros and cons. It's a bit of an expensive experiment though. It could be a total game changer.

Make your pack on your back significantly lighter, and eliminate you hitting the bar when passing under low trees, branches, etc.---Not that I've ever seen that happen to you!!😀

This is the perfect example of "System Engineering". Something like this can fix 2 problems and create 4 new ones. Or could be a total gamechanger and make me annoyed that I suffered so long with the old backpack system. LOL. I just have to try it to see how it goes. But at $200, I'd hate for it to NOT work out.

Someone has to try it to let us know if we should all have one!

but sure, we ride rocks, and putting 20+lbs on the fork in a stationary position might lead to a superman.
a cargo rack might be a better idea.

big saw problems!
 
Definitely a good solution if you have a specific TM bike that you can leave the mount on. And a 16” bar scabbard is pretty small, so you’ll have to get them to ship a longer one. I passed on due to the constant stress put on the steerer tube.
 
Several obstructions at the bottom of Tally Ho have been cleared. Shout out to Mt biker Jeff who gave a hand. That was rather involved, to say the least. Took a few fuel refills to finally clear it, since it fell into the trail like a hot dog into a bun. I brought the wrong saw for that one, but the MS192 (16" bar) still prevailed.
 
Installed! The blocks that interface with the handlebars isn't a perfect fit, but the rubber strap seems to make that not matter much. I was happy to see that the entire mount can be removed fairly easily and quickly if I wanted to go for a regular fun ride. Like <2 minutes. Basically it'd take the unstrapping of the two rubber straps at the handlebar blocks, and the unscrewing of one very easily accessible bolt right on the front.

Next step will be to ride with it, but I've got a medical issue that's grounding me right now. Stay tuned.

Now you just need deployable bush whacking blades on the fork! 😂

Glad to help make this a reality.
 
I wanted to keep folks abreast of my current medical situation, and why I’m on a temporary hiatus from Chainsawing. About 3 weeks ago, I got hit with unexplained Vertigo, which simply hasn’t gone away! Medical care is well underway, but still no improvement after all this time. At least stroke/coronary issues have been ruled out. All seems to be related to the vestibular canal (inner ear), which controls your balance. I’m getting on pretty well with daily life tasks, but the constant imbalance thing poses certain limitations. One of which is the obvious: Riding a Mt E-bike with chainsawing equipment on any sort of mildly technical trails is practically impossible! While I have higher confidence with the chainsawing part (w/3 points of contact to the ground), it’s better that I should give it a rest till I'm in better shape.

Anyway, I wanted to mention it so you know why I’m not on top of all the new issues. I’ll report back with status changes. In the meantime, please do whatever else you can to keep the trails clear.

My Dad had a bout for 3 or so months. Cleared up by itself. Stay safe. Hopefully the trees won't be there when you get back. 😉
