hey everyone andy sykes here and i'm out
0:04
on this really beautiful day with my
0:07
but i want to take my bike somewhere the
0:10
doesn't have a roof rack and also my
0:12
bike is too big to put inside
0:14
but that's not a problem because a
0:16
really clever brand called fuvno from
0:19
has produced a pneumatic roof rack
0:21
system that will attach to
0:22
any car and it can carry up to three
0:25
bikes and i'm going to show you how to
0:28
right now so what's really cool is fogno
0:31
provide everything you need in this
0:33
really handy carry case
0:35
all the components that you need to
0:37
attach your bike onto the roof of this
0:40
without any tools are in here
0:43
there you have it so the fog nose system
0:45
comprises of a number of different
0:48
the main component is this this is the
0:51
main bike rack carrier now this system
0:56
has three areas for your fork axles to
0:59
bolt into and the system comes with
1:02
uh axle spacers for nine millimeter
1:06
50 mil through axle and 20 mil through
1:08
axle so it doesn't matter if you're
1:10
a cross country bike an old mountain
1:11
bike or downhill bike
1:13
this system will work now this is the
1:16
brains of the system too
1:18
here we have the n power box and this is
1:22
smart little box in here we have all the
1:25
a pneumatic system for pumping out the
1:28
air of these suction cups and alarm
1:30
which i'll show you how to use in a
1:32
let's pop this to one side
1:36
now obviously that's only going to hold
1:37
the front of your bike now you need
1:39
something to hold the rear
1:40
and forth no provide these these are
1:44
feet that attach to the back of your car
1:46
to hold your rear wheel
1:48
in the package there are three feet and
1:51
those are for attaching
1:52
the rear wheel to the roof now these
1:55
feet are a little bit different this is
1:57
the main foot and the reason why this is
2:00
is because it has two attachment ports
2:04
those hoses will automatically adjust
2:07
the pressure of these slave feet on
2:11
so first things first before we put the
2:13
roof rack onto the car what we need to
2:16
this inside the car and this is an alarm
2:19
it's a really smart little feature and
2:22
this connects wirelessly to the end
2:24
power box on your roof rack
2:26
so if the roof rack has an issue and it
2:29
and starts to lift off the car this will
2:32
sound and it gives you plenty of time to
2:34
pull over and fix the issue
2:36
it plugs into your car with this long
2:39
a usb so all you need to do is use a
2:42
inside your car or an adapter and
2:44
there's a double-sided sticky tape on
2:46
the back so you can stick it on your
2:47
dash so it doesn't slide around
2:49
so let's get this installed
2:56
okay so for this next section what we're
2:58
going to do we're going to attach the
3:01
onto the roof of the car using the n
3:04
but before we do that we need to check
3:06
if there's any power in there
3:07
and to do that we press this button and
3:10
the leds light up and that's telling us
3:12
that we've got enough power to get going
3:15
next we need to attach the suction cups
3:18
to the roof of the car and we do that
3:19
simply by pressing the motor
3:36
and once the pneumatic system has got to
3:38
the right pressure it all stops and
3:41
automatically and if this pops off the
3:50
the fuvno roof rack system comes with
3:53
axle spacers depending on what kind of
3:57
as you can see the system by default is
3:59
installed with a quick release system
4:01
and for nine millimeter axles but the
4:04
has a 15 millimeter axle so we have
4:08
that we can install and they're very
4:11
simply undo the quick release put it to
4:16
and remove the plastic plugs
4:19
and then install the axle one that you
4:24
now with the correct spacers installed
4:27
you can install the fork to the front of
4:42
with your bike on top of the car you now
4:43
know where the rear wheel needs to go
4:45
so you can place your rear foot into the
4:49
center it into the center of the reel
4:51
make sure the hose isn't pulled too
4:53
and connect the end power
4:58
and the pneumatic suction will pull
5:06
now you can use these straps
5:09
to ensure your rear wheel
5:13
is nice and secure as you drive
5:16
fogno includes velcro straps to secure
5:21
into position so it doesn't move while
5:25
so there we have it that's the 5no
5:27
empire pneumatic bike rack
5:29
really handy design that allows you to
5:32
attach up to three bikes onto various
5:34
different cars for more information head
