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 ive just got a Dave Cooper Bike rack, but forgot to ask what the torque wrench setting should be for the mount on the towbar? Anybody know?

I have a 2005 Ford Fiesta which we are looking to put a Dave Cooper bike rack onto the back for a supermoto pit bike. I believe that the nose weight is just over 60kg but the bike weighs 71kg. I am worried that because it is over the weight it will affect the steering of the car? Also if anyone has any advice or experience on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

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

Hi im goin to bite the bullet and buy a bike rack this week ive had 2 qoutes from both dave cooper and kliponoff for there racks posted. Which if money wasnt a problem would you the riders choose dave cooper rack: galvonise finish

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?

I have a DC lightweight trailer, but slightly concerned at the sharp angle iron bits where the tyres sit, especially when compressed with tie downs. Has anyone modified theirs to help with this? Im thinking either fill gaps with ply, or chop up and old tyre to cover the sharp bits? Any hot tips for tie downs too? Other than the usual round the bars/clamps and foot pegs? Might try a ‘tyre down’ for the rear tyre.

Today I finished painting the outside of the house a new colour, and also did the second coat of wood oil on the deck, followed by painting the facias white with enamel paint. After this I was a bit bored and thought it would look good if I used the white enamel paint brush I had used to paint all the facia boards and plant hangers around the house to paint the bike trailer white as well. Not a great colour for trials, but good for visibility. I ordered a towbar for Nicola's Peugeot 1007 this week, to be home fitted next Wednesday. Then I will be able to get to venues over weekends and possibly through the week while I continue to look for a job. Of course, typically,…

I'm thinking of converting my two bike trailer into a box trailer so that scallywaggs don't see the bike as I go through towns on my way to a trial. Does anyone know what kind of sheet e.t.c is used for the side panels and where I could get it from? Replies would be appreciated

I have an erde 121 trailer and wondered if any body had some good ideas of how to put a bike on it. I have a grinder and a saw to cut it up and rearrange it is it worth doing?????

Does anybody know if a full size trials bike will fit??

Ok i know a couple of trials bikes will fit in these but i do some track days so will they take a road bike, straight in, not at an angle, so that one man loading is ok. And if so anyone have one for sale?

Hi guys, I'm about to get into trials, however, before I buy a bike I need to know if a Trails bike can fit in the back of a Fiat Doblo with the seats folded down ?? As it will save me buying a trailer/towbar or re tax/insure and mot'ing me old van Thanks in advance

As i struggled to find concrete evidence before i bought the van just thought id share a pic of two bikes comfortably in the back of a doblo.

My long wheelbase Citroen Relay decided its time for a new injector pump a couple of days ago so I've hired a small Fiat Doblo van for the week to get me around. The most important factor this morning was whether I could get the fatlass in the back for tomorrow which didn't look likely when I opened to back doors earlier. I put the bike in backwards and sideways and it fitted in just fine, head room was also fine even with full lock and there's plenty of tie points to hold her down. The van drives really well, there's plenty of room in the cab and lots of pockets/storage. Its nippy as you'd expect and incredibly quiet even at speed. Hope this helps anyone who ma…
