F.A.O Any Mountain Bikers

[STi_Bandit]

Was such a lovely day today decided to take the old bike out for a shakedown test, been playing with the damping in the forks and all i can say is WOW it eats the trials for breakfast.

Just wanted to show to anyone intrested that a cheap halfords 19.99 bike rack will fit on an STi with the big wing with no fouling.

Only a possibility Gus, but if it works then ill say good bye to all this silly finance and have a weight lifted so it seems a nice option

[G.T.]

goin yersel bandito hope you had a blast today

should go the whole hog and get a roofrack for the scoob that would be cool[H]

i got one for the mrs saxo would make me too para looking in the rearview at my pride and joy perched there at least up on the roof its outa sight

though the least wee noise gets you twitchin []

[STi_Bandit]

Lol mate you felt the weight of a downhill bike id have a hernia lifting it onto the roof before or after i fell agaisnt the side of the car. Had a great day out sun was a little toooo hot was sweating in the armour. brings it back how much ive missed it, less sidc events and back to the bike.

The rack wont move went for the 6 point version is secured like a rock, tested on overtakes []

Lookin good you nugget! Give us a shout when ur oot on the bike and i can practise my photography!

[Guest]

nutter although handy to know as im going to get back on my bike need to lose a bit of beef

[Guest AlanK]

I should clarify  - it aint the bike taking the paint off - it the abrasive foam they use in the cheap rakes - put a cloth/towel/sponge/tampon under the foam to stop the paint being stripped!

 

(used one on my old car, which is why I bought a CLASSIC waggon ;o)  )
