There’s usually plenty about, and most people are friendly enough…

Oh, and four bikes, 3 people is quite easy. They work well with a rear rack if you need more than that.

You might have some luck if the bikes were lying down on top of each other rather than stood up. Not sure if this would be acceptable though.

I prefer my bike stood up and straight so they can be secured, and this requires taking the front wheel off. My 29er may also need the bars steered to 180° to additionally reduce the length. It fits about the same sideways too.

Maybe someone here would give you a go, our just go to a trail centre and ask.

Very happy with mine (03 plate), I even have a fold away conversion for sleeping in it.

Mine were On One forks, brilliant.

Nobody offers more ‘normal’ forks?

Try getting the relevent map from your local library.

Thanks Peter, that’s my evening sorted.

My first proper MTB was a ’98 Marin B17, so I understand the size and shape of the mount you need, M10 sounds right. Good luck.

Cheers, I’ll pop over later. Do I need a tool to fit them?
