anyone got one for biking purposes?

does a bike go in without removing wheels??

i read its load space on a swb is 173cm. just measured my dh bike and its pretty much at 174cm. any chance of gaining a few cm anywhere, like removing the grill gitter type thing.

photos would be great too if any about.

you'll probably get your 1cm just from having the bike at a slight angle due to your bars anyway (rear wheel closer to the side than front). Worked in my Caddy anyway.

Pretty sure there's a couple of owners on here, reports always seem to be positive

Same situation with my Caddy, front wheel turned slightly and it fits fine, was a bleeding pain trying to fit a 29er that I took out though.

1cm ?. slight angle in the steering, position diagonally across the load area, deflate the tyres.

It fits in no bother. I can get 3 fully built DH bikes in the back.
1 up each side (wheels turned in towards the middle and one upside down in the middle.
Im actually selling my one shortly if you are interested?
