Riftzone

wheels and seat post off obviously. usual bikin buddy is away and i dont have access to his bike carrier but need to "get out and ride" (saloon, not wagon)...

Can't get mine in I have to put the wheels in the boot and the rest on the back seat, wrapped in a blanket. I don't like external carriers for drag and security reasons.

depends whether your seats fold or not. Mine dont and I cant get the bike in.

With both wheels off my Kona fitted in the back of my STi Type-R - which didn't have folding seats. It also fits (just) in the boot of my X-Type Jag without having to drop the seats.

cheers guys, guess i'm gonna have to have a bit play tonight - '98 marin riftzone, only a 17.5" frame so fingers crossed. i'll have to try and keep it clean when i'm out then if its goin in the car... :P

dont fancy the idea of droppin the seats and havin levers/chain rings bumpin into things

Just get a couple of old towels and wrap the rear mech and the chain ring in it. You'll be fine.

Either that or get a big dust-sheet and stick the bike on the back seat. That's what one of the guys I ride with does (full-suss bike in the back of his brand new M3 Cabrio ).

Luckily, where we ride that have a special jetwash just for bikes, so it minimises the amount of forest we bring home with us....
