Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Traps for front forks

I am looking for a trap that swivels around the skewer for the fronts forks. I want one that when I lock the forks down on the trap I can swivel the bike without damaging the forks. Any ideas where to look?

Thanks

Ok, I'll be the one to ask. What in the world are you talking about?

And I think this is obligatory at this point after 58 views and 0 replies:

I think what he really wants is a fork mount for a bike rack that also pivots in some way.
