Trials Transport

hi all, is anybody using a 4x4 bike rack on a range rover vouge, if so any problems encountered tia tony

I have seen in the past, single bike trailers that fold on the front part near the hitch to make them easy to stand up in a garage to store. Does anyone know who manufactures these and has anyone got one?

I am thinking about buying a twin cab pickup to cart two bikes about on. The bed is not long enough to carry two bikes with the tailgate up. I will have to carry them both with the tailgate down. I was wondering if any of you know of front wheel holders that can be bolted to the flatbed floor, to enable me to carry two bikes securely with the tailgate down? Alternatively, any other ideas on how to carry bikes would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Dave

I am looking at buying a bike rack for the car and wanted to find out who make them, which ones are the best made etc. The only one I have seen is the dave cooper one but im sure there must be more companies make them.I preferably want one that is coated with something so it doesnt rust so let me know what experiences you have had. Thanks rich

I have had a 2003 montesa for about a year now and i would like to get it insured however the insurance company said they wouldnt insure it unless i had a reg number, when i bought my bike i had no details or reg number given to me. could i request a reg number? if so how??? any info would be nice cheers

Hi Guys Down here in Austraya we have utes and this is what I came up with to fit three bikes and enough gear for a long weekend away (and be able to close the tailgate. I started with a basic design and when it worked added the wing.

My trailer needs some new tyres, but I don’t know if I need tubed or tubeless. currently I have one of each! Is there any difference in the rims? I would normally just buy some new rims and tyres but they are odd ones with the bearings in the wheel!

Can you guys let me know of any cheap delivery services for a trials bike. Priced the EBay delivery services

hi all, bought a trailer for my 1st trail bike but now I'm wondering about security when I Park up and go on the bike. any tips or advice on how you guys get on with the same situation. I won't be buying a van and only have a detachable tow bar so a rack is probably out of the question too. cheers

im lookin to insure my new beta for the road anyone got any good advice on where to get it i will only be doing about 5 road trials a year thanks

New car on the way, Golf Mk V, has anyone used a rack? Just wondering if the towbar comes up high enough to bring the rack away from the bumper (as the bumper is quite big) so that the bike sits away from the back of the car. Also, I use a bit of flat rope out of the boot of my Vectra that I tye around the forks to pull the bike in close to the car, is there scope to do this on a Golf?

Hello everyone, has anybody out there ever put a Dave cooper bike rack on a Landrover freelander 2 the reason I am asking this is because I"m unsure which rack to go for due to there being no spare wheel on the tailgate, standard car rack or 4x4 ? I have plenty of clearance from bumper with towball, and previously many years ago had one on a ford mondeo which stuck out enough from bumper so just putting it out there, thanks.

Hi there, I have just been to look at one of the above vans and was wondering if anyone out there in trials land has one??? does the bike fit in it ok????? do they last well??? Cheers

I remember reading on here once that you could get 2 bikes in the back of a caddy (not the pick up, or brand new one). Someone said you take the mudguard off one, and put one facing one way and one the other. Can't make mine fit. Any tips, do you put them diagnol? Thanks Dave

Hi Folks, I'm sure this has probably been asked before so please forgive me. I'm looking at a SWB Crew Cab Vivaro but the back looks real small, anyone using one to carry a trials bike / mx bike? Any advice would be gratefully recieved!! Mike

Any one know how to get a cheap(er) ferry to belfast for the wtc next year?

Hows this for rotten luck picked up my brand new renault trafic sport van yesterday and been driving her for around 20 mins or so done around 15 miles and whilst sat at some traffic lights a young lady ran into the back of it she said her brakes didnt work gutted is not the word for it I would post a photo but not worked it out

Anyone know.... ?????? Can you get a trials bike in the back of a 61 plate Vauxhall Combo van.....????? If so, do have to put it at an angle or turn the bars........ ????? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Does any know if a trials bike will fit in a SWB VW Transporter T5 / 6 Kombi (i.e with 2 rows of seats) with the VW ABS plastic (Motexion) Bulkhead fitted behind the rear seats? Got a T5 just now and a single bike fits ok diagonally without the bulkhead, but can't find any info on the load space with one fitted. Thanks in advance for any info provided.

Hello all I wonder if you can help me, I am looking at a dave cooper trials trailer and the measurements between the two front wheel mount are 19"! my handle bars are 17" from wheel to end of bars! Will two bike fit as the handle bars will hit each other surly?? The bikes both go forwards from what i can see, If one went forward and one went backwards I can see the they would fit but being both forward I cant see that they will fit? Has anyone got a photo of two bike fitted to one will be a very big help. Meny thanks chris
