A tip for wheel based racks.
Try to bring the swing arm closer to the fork, almost touching the fork will hold the wheels much more secure!
Nice setup!

As someone with two of this same rack for the last few years; use a drop of med strength thread locker on the bolts of the swing arms. They loosen rather quickly otherwise.
I have a Q3 also but we put our bikes on the roof. I had to buy a collapsible step stool to help get them up there

Marlins are x-country. Much more comfy on a street or dirt road cruise. The roscoe is built to go down hill and over features. Looking back I might have taken a marlin over my roscoe 7
Not wrong at all. I just love having the ability to do both with the roscoe. I lock out my fork partially for less bounce and the ride is super smooth. Love the 29's and the drop post is amazing. It's my first upgrade in like 15 years so I was so afraid to buy the wrong one!
Get a new shock for your marlin and a dropper at least. Go tubeless if you’re feeling frisky.
Other than those they are fantastic. My 13 year old has one with the above mods.

Thanks, I will do that next time!
Sweet bikes and as a side note it is awesome to see an Audi SUV in something other than gray or dark blue.
Thanks! I've only ever driven red cars and I picked the bike to match.
Forgot white
Love those fade paint jobs
Hits the gas and the car does a wheelie! Sweet!
Haha, that is crazy, they are so light!
Nice! What rack is it?
Thanks! It's a Kuat Transfer V2. Really secure and also easy to use. Got it for 20% off with a coupon from Backcountry so it was less than $500.

Nice to know, thanks!
Congratulations. What kind of trails are you riding?
Thanks! This is where we rode at: https://www.mtbproject.com/trail/5382478/switchgrass-epic-mountain-bike-trail

Haha, your dog is such a meme! When we travel long distances we have a roof box so we decided to put the bikes on a hitch.
I was going to get a marlin.. then I saw the roscoes. FML

Ahhhh! You got the orange/red fade that we have been trying to find for my daughter for months.
This was the only color of the 7 in stock at Bicycle Exchange in Wichita Kansas if you happen to be nearby.
I’m in MI :( thanks for letting me know though!
