Trials Transport

Anyone got a link to a video of a trials bike being strapped to trailer ! with the suspension travel im findinding it difficult to strap bike without it moving every 100 yards

Has anyone had trouble with the rear door central locking? The rear door locks ok but then won't unlock on the button.. it's then necessary to release it from the inside. Not easy if bikes in the way. Is it a common problem? Is there a fix?

We have bought a van to transport the Vertigo. Does anybody have any recommendations for wheel chocks or a way to hold the bike. We did look at one that holds by the foot pegs but aren't sure it works with Trials Bikes. Its called the MX Lock and load. Anybody used it or anything like it?

What the best way to carry a Beta Evo 200 Trial Bike without damaging the fork seal and making sure the bike doesn't move in the trailer? How far down do you safely take the forks down? Pictures welcome if you can. Thanks a lot for your help.

Looking to downsize to a smaller van, like a Caddy or Connect? Can you get a bike easily into the SWB Versions of each, with wheel turned Will 2 bikes fit? I am plumping for a 2 litre Caddy, but the new Connect is hard to ignore as it's a lot cheaper Anybody got experience of either brands?

Came across this photo in an old bike mag from 1981, don't see many youngsters using this kind of initiative nowadays...

Can you get a Trials bike (4RT) in the back diagonally with tailgate up or is it tailgate down? Can you get 2 bikes in with tailgate down Is loading easy enough on the higher bed, compared to an average barn door van ? Just thinking about a pickup over the Van Any other downsides ? (except the obvious lack of security & bike on view etc)

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.

Morning People, Well, I guess the question is in the Title, really. Does anyone know if a trials bike will fit in a Vauxhall Zafira with all the seats in the back folded down? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi After hearing about so many bikes being pinched I thought it was time to ditch the bike trailer and hide my pride and joy in the back of a van. I've been thinking about getting a Ford Transit Custom SWB with a crew cab which results in a smaller space to put the trials bike (If it will fit) Has anyone got one of these vans for taking the bike in? If I could fold down the rear seats it would just be a case of removing the rear bulkhead but the seats are fixed. The VW Transporter Kombi can do just that but they are silly money. Cheers Alan

Does anyone know if you can get two bikes in with the bulkhead still in? Or does it need to be removed? Chopping my car in simply to save money and got a really good offer on a 2013 combo.. will most likely only ever put one bike in as I trial with family so I’ll only use it to transport my bike back home for servicing occasionally. May possibly need to fit two bikes in if we all decide to go to different trials!! Anyone got any experience?

I haven't bought a bike yet but will be going for one soon. I'm planning on putting one inside and one on a dave cooper rack if my dad gets back into trialling aswell. I have a 05 combo but the back has been lined and the floor eyelets covered over. ive drilled and got the 2 rear ones near the back doors but cant find measurements or pictures to show a better location for the middle and front ones. If somebody has a combo this shape would you be able to measure the distance from the rear eyelet to the front and middle ones please? Thanks

Very close to buying a 110 station wagon. It's been covered on here that you can get a bike in the back (2 at a push) but just wondering how easy it is? I can't be doing with loosening bars or taking bits off. I just want to roll in and out. Is that possible?

Can I get two trials bikes in a 06 shape Vauxhall combo van ?Any issues with height? Cheers guys

I have just got a gas gas 125 for the grandson. I have also purchased a Dave Cooper tow bar bike rack, to carry the bike. Question is, what is the best way to secure the bike to the rack for transportation on the back of my car. I have two smallish rachet straps and one large one as used by lorry drivers to secure a load. Cheers Nubsey

I saw one on top gear and it looked pretty cool and now I've seen one on the road in the UK. Look ideal for taking the bike to trials.

Hi, new to trials and my van is a astra van so the bike has to go on its side. My question is will the fuel / water run out? Is there anything I should be doing b4 I place it on its side? Thanks phil

Good morning, iv had a good search around the site and still can't find the answer. I'm looking at getting my first trials bike and need to sort a method of transport What I'm after is if I get a rack for the back of my Volvo V40 (63plate) and have the bike secured will the boot still open? And how close to the rear of the car will it be? If anyone has pictures of the above set up it would be appreciated Cheers Richard

Hi Guys I've recently started transporting my bike about on the back of the motor using one of the following types of carriers (attached). As I live in Edinburgh I am extremely conscious about bike theft, my garage has already been attempted a few times over past year and I hate the idea of someone following me. Does anyone know of any good covers that can be purchased to help hide what I am carrying? All help/pointers appreciated.

As the title suggests really gents/ladies. How do you secure youre bike to the rack? After trying it myself i just dont have much confidence in my pride and joy not making an escape for freedom after a moderate bump. Pictures would be great if you have them, thanks.
