Trials Transport

Tempted to get one of the wheelchair adapted vehicles for trials transport. They're probably better looked after than vans.Does anyone use one. This may be more practical for me than a van. All comments welcome. Picture would be great.

Hi, Noob question. Do you clean your bikes after riding (especially now when there is a lot of mud) and before puting in into the car? If so, do you carry some water and battery powered jet-wash? I mean this is probably less of an issue for van owners. But if you use a car (like Berlingo) then it ma get very messy very quickly. Just thought that it may be easier to clean the bike pre-trasport rathen than clean the car later on.

Iv read numerous posts saying 2 bikes fully assembled can fit in a berlingo. Has anyone got a picture of how they do it? I can get one in with the bike diagonal or with the tyre poking through the seats but I can't see how I'd fit another one in there!!! Andy

Here is a new to me Bike. Asked Business owner to install slow throttle. glad he did ! The white truck - It has a header & a blown out muffler, Weber 2 barrel carb.. The Scorpa has a new spark arrestor fresh muffler packing. I like my truck.gets approx 45 mpg. Gasoline here in washington, non ethanol is nearly $4.50 per gallon.

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 is the motorcycle carrier rack for a Bultaco Sherpa t any good. It would be on back of a new navara any recommendations. Or leave alone ? Greg r

Does anyone have any suggestions for a bike cover to use when transporting a trials bike on a car bike rack? I'm wanting something to keep the salt and road grime off the bike when transporting it in bad weather. There's loads of options for road bike storage but I can't seem to find one the right size for a trials bike.

Hi Anyone using the quick load style of bike stand, and if so are they good and what brand is best? Or continue with the straps

Will a modern trials bike fit in a Suzuki Carry van? I don’t need a van for work or anything so don’t want anything huge on the drive but just something to ferry a bike around - max 35 miles away from home (but will also be MTBs and other sports stuff). My other option is a VW Caddy but don’t need to spend a huge amount for a bike carrier.

Hi Got a 2013 Vito Dualiner LWB with standard rear seats. Currently have to remove the seats when putting the bikes in which is a bit of a faff. Looking at a set of upgraded rear seats that fold fully in the hope I could replace mine. Asked the guy to measure from back of folded seat to the closed tailgate inside the van. Measurement I got was 74-75" from the seller. When I measured my Gas Gas I'm getting 77" so my question is has anyone got a LWB Vito Dualiner with the folding sports seats? If so can you fold the seats and get 2 bikes in the back?? My thinking is I probably could - bike in front ways and turn steering towards side doors or even deflat…

Hi all, New to the forum, presently ordered a 24R and will be collecting in mid Nov in the UK. My main query is transporting the bike. I drive a X-Trail that has a flange towbar, I wanted to get a Dave Cooper rack but they do not deliver to Ireland, hard to get anything like this over here. So do any of you boys/girls use something like a normal bicycle rack for your OSET's? Within the guidance of weight capacity etc. Thanks if anyone has any info, insights. Chop

Fitted my DC rack to the Freelander and the rack looks great though the height to lift the back wheel looks very high... anyone have any tips on getting it up high enough to load... think the beta will be OK but my Sherpa is a lot heavier...

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!

After weighing it all up went for a rack in the end, had nowhere to store a trailer properly... but looking at it now where do my existing electrics go once the rack bar is in behind the towbar.. do you just bend the electrics bracket?

A friend as asked if he can modify his old builders trailer into a bike trailer, or if it would now need to be type approved after the modifications? I would be handy if he did, as he wants to borrow mine!

Hello! Does anyone know of any way to transport a bike around without a tow bar? I've got a VW Scirocco and the Mrs has a T-Roc, but she has to get it serviced at a VW garage and they've just quoted silly money to get a tow bar fitted. It would be cheaper for me to just buy a used van but I don't have anywhere to store it. Has anyone encountered a similar problem? Is there a potential boot rack system that could carry the weight or any other mods? Cheers, Ollie

The Erde bike trailer will stand up on its end which would allow me to store it... Has anyone done this and got a system (caster set, etc) to then manoeuvre it where you want it to go. If I could tip it up and then wheel it that would be perfect for where I can store it.....

Now have a Fiat Doblo car and am most relieved to find my Fantic 200 goes in? question is...where are the tie down points? Are they already there or are they screw in eyes? I don't want to take up the carpet yet until I have to. Thanks

Coming back to trials and always previously used an Erde trailer but I don't have the room any more so considering a Dave Cooper rack... Will this fit the land rover OK? Grateful for any help..

Does anyone know if the vertical quick release fitment for the swan neck on the UR towbars from Towequipe are the same fitting as the witter quick release ?
