I want to try putting the bike in my car..
Does it matter which side the bike lay on? as there's the rear derailleur on right and brake on left..
scared later cause more harm to the bike rather than buying the bike rack.

or put like post 699 https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4112376/+680# , in btw car seat
*
lay it on the brake side. usually the disc wont kena coz the pedal will lift the bike up.
like that oso can. remove both wheels. if u sked kena cushion, cover the cushion with rags or old clothes
i don't use flat pedals with pins, but i assume u need to take extra care. sked the pins scratch the interior

Raceface chester copy?
Ok thanks for the advice. I think i'll buy the shock pump and play around with the setup.

It's just like the raceface Chester. My friend use the Chester in his nomad 3 and one thing different is the length of the spike pin. Chester's spike is really long and look scary. Will do a lot of damage to your skin if you slip and scratch your leg on it.

I have used mine for 6 months already and they are really good.

I am using the ori seasucker for almost 2 years now. It's the best bike mount to me. Hold the bike really firm and fits all types of car. I don't see how the seasucker can come of if properly attracted. Easy to mount on the car and removed in seconds. Real easy to service too.

Only disadvantage is the price. I will make my own if I need another as I have found the vacuum cup which is identical to those of seasucker. Just need to fabricate the plate and the truaxel mount.

This is the original seasucker that I use. It use 4 vacuum cup with one spare cup. The whole thing is actually very simple. It's got a base plate where 3 vacuum cups are screw on to it. Then the axle mount screw to the top. The rear tire vacuum cup is just attach a Velcro into the vacuum cup base.

So Just buy 4 of these vacuum cup. Make the base plate.

And attach a mount

Make sure you buy vacuum cup instead of suction cup. Vacuum cup have much higher holding power.

There are many ways you can mount the seasucker on your car. Below are just 1 eg.

I knew a fact that one of my friend lost his bike due to seasucker - on the highway (couldn't remember he overtook or that lorry overtake him), bike off the roof, ended up with another bus/lorry run over his bike.

Gone case. FUBAR.

Anyway, not to scare you, but it might happen.. and rubber has its wear and tear?

Still the best is in the car, with the car body aerodynamically protect the air resistance on to the bike.. compare to when it is out of your car.. especially on the freeway.. tak kisah if it is in the seasucker or any bike rack..

Is he using seasucker or other knockoff?

One very important thing when using seasucker is clean surface before mounting. I always bring a bottle of water to wash the surface clean and wet the rubber of the vacuum cup before mounting for proper seal. And also ensure the every cup is properly vacuum.

There are 3 vacuum cups on the front mount and I found it quite impossible for all the 3 cups to lose seal at once. I mount 2 of then vacuum cups on my front windscreen so I can see the cups while I am driving.

seasucker. yes, he told us the incident with the pictures of the damaged bikes yada yada.. and yes, sorry i don't have the pics to prove you anything..

true that you can have the visibility of the sucker suctions, but it will take you milliseconds for the sucker to pop out right? and a small force to lift the edge and let the air in?

nevertheless, just take extra careful on any of the bike carrier that you guys are using..


p/s: i am seriously considering selling my Thule Archway 3. Price wise +-1k (retail), going to let it go for RM350. brows.gif COD only, PM me if interested.

Don't get me wrong. It's not I don't believe you.

From what I see, the fail rate is very low. Sometimes it can be the fault if the user as they do not mount it properly eg dirty surface, not fully vacuum etc.

I just find it hard to believe that all the 4 vacuum cups can pop off at once. That possibility is almost zero unless you hit something. I tried before in my house where I mount the seasucker on file floor tiles. Try to remove it by pulling it off but that thing just won't go. A single vacuum cup can hold 200lbs. Even if one loose pressure, the other is still more than enough to hold the bike.

But you're right. There is still a slight possibility that it can go wrong. But after using it for 2 years, i have very good confidence in the seasucker.
