What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[California4x4]

What is the size & designation of the wheel please? I need to get one & my 18" alloys are too big?

What’s too big on the 18s? They must have the same rolling radius? When I put BFGOODRICH All Terrains on mine I increased the profile and Therefore the outer diameter by about 5 percent. I had to lower the pressure to 10psi to fit the 5th wheel in the carrier. I carry a compressor so it’s not an issue. Have you considered doing this?

They are too wide to fit in the carrier under the van (rim width).

Finally bought this side window stick on blind after reading someone else's post. Means quick exit/entry without messing around with the normal blind.
Bit pricey but the quality looks good.

Thanks, no I haven't considered this although it's an option. I'm looking for a wheel & tyre obviously & am finding it difficult to establish the configuration /designation of the wheel size (hub, nuts etc) & the outer rolling diameter.

Treated Little Robin to some wheel cleaning equipment (wonder wheels tyre shine,meguirs applicator, Autoglym wheel cleaner, Autoglym wheel shine and autoglym brush) . Very expensive but end result is defo worth it. The Autoglym brush is a tool I wish I bought years ago.

Haha, to be honest, think Halfords raided me the price of it all

A fiamma Bike rack ordered. As we are riding Brompton, the bike rack is only for the storage purpose. Need a Thule easy bag or sort... will keep our inflatable kayak be stores back there! Hope its build quality is up to my expectation.

I never understand why their bikes are so fricking heavy. Why is there no titanium option?

There is now!

 

[DrJuanKerr]

There is now!

Only the rear frame and front fork. I mean the entire frame. The bike is still ~11KG, which considering they're meant to be "portable" is quite heavy. Don't get me wrong, both the Mrs and I have one purely for their compactness. The Mrs struggles however when she arrives at work to lug the thing around the place. It's not as if they're used for extreme mountain biking. The most action mine has is bunny hopping off the kerb!

Just South of £3k. Ouch. Nice bike though. The "designer" gets a bit of a slating on road.cc

I am putting T5 Pro but it is the same as T6 except Mount parts.

Fiamma T6 pro bike rack?

Anyone had one of these yet and have any feedback & how it compares to the the VW one. VW looks better build but I have had fiamma in past and once built it was fine. Thanks...
