HA HA – the attentive cat is a garden ornament given to us by the (almost) out-laws so has to be positioned in the garden or there'll be questions.
A friend thought it looked more like a stunned ferret or meerkat!
It's a Seat Ibiza, not a Focus that this is stuck in and the headroom is pretty tight. I'd have thought that the Golf would have a bit more headroom than mine. I initially wanted to position the bike more to the right but the slope inside towards the window meant taht the handlebars clashed with the ceiling.
I'd like to be able to keep the back wheel in, but there's not enough room length-wise to do so.
On the new bike, it's even tighter as the bike seems a bit longer. When I mod the QR mounting point I'll be moving it further forward to give me another couple of inches.
The rear mount was made in a rush with the limited tools available. Ideally I'd re-do it and make it such that the rear drop-outs line up with another QR. I need to spend a weekend messing about with it again really.
Oh and both the old & new stumpjumper need their forks 'turning down' to fit in. The Reba's from 115-85mm & the Fox from 140-100mm. They probably would go in with them left fully extended, but there'd be a heap load more roof lining scrapage.
I'll probably post some more pics up when i finally get round to tinkering with it.
