QUOTE(jejari7 @ Jun 1 2017, 01:52 AM) Hi guys. Initially i plan to buy polygon siskiu 7 too. Frame not so bad, good specs with the price and hv many authorized dealers around. Suddenly found this ghost tacana 5 and bought it because of the color. Lol. Not bad but the forks are quite stiff. Havent tried off road yet. [attachmentid=8863326] smartt once the forks has been adjusted to your weight (and preference), this bike should rock the trails.. nice buy!

Anyone have a pics showing how they put their bike inside the car? Should lay flat on the left or right side of the bike with both wheels taken out?
Was thinking whether I should get a bike rack or just put it inside my car. I'm also driving a forte.
Thanks.

By law, it's illegal. but, just in case, talk nicely to the cops. use budi bicara. they oso human wat. but at least, make your plate numbers visible ler. and drive safely. consider this as points of mercy during conversation  : rooftop rack bike = rm 1.4k rear rack = rm200-300. that's all that i can afford right now sir This post has been edited by fatani: Jun 1 2017, 12:29 PM

QUOTE(miaopurr @ Jun 1 2017, 09:18 AM) tilt the bike so one end rests on the floor, another end on the seat Or remove both tyres 29er cant muat like dat sir )= QUOTE(croomaniac @ Jun 1 2017, 09:32 AM) based on my friend's experience with his 29er, he will fold both of his back seat downwards so that the bike can be fitted from the boot. Front tire has to be removed. He did that but he uses a big plastic cover to cover the possible dirt/oil spill to the car. He did that also with another bike (means that 2 bikes into the car with the same method) but seat post has to be removed as well. toyota altis. yah i wana try bu tmy FOrte boot is not wide open, it's cave-like shaped  nevermind i will try open both tires, i hope wont be much problem front one, i experience my brake calipers need to adjust after i install it back hahahaha

Buying rack whether is roof or rear cost money unless you fully utilize that. I ride both MTB and RB every weekend. I normally chuck my bike in my car. I am driving Alza. Cost saving and just remove the front wheel will do. My 2 cents.

My 2 cents. for me, after considering those muds after offroading, i'd rather let the bike to stay on the rack. rb or velos, diff story. but since your car is alza, probably have better space after those backseats is brought down.
