    Will a small Orbea rise fit in a SWB VW Transporter with rear seats up without removing front wheel?

    If your going for the SWB transporter try and get the one with 3 single rear seats thats the most versatile and with a seat tilted forward the bike will fit with wheels on, if nit get the 1+2 split rear. Also go for a highline, AC, cruise and heated screen, are nice

    Will a small Orbea rise fit in a SWB VW Transporter with rear seats up without removing front wheel?

    Yes i think it would, but not sure whether handle bar may hit window or poke over rear seat. Tbh mate i would never put my bike in like that as usually i got other stuff in there. What rear seat have you got?

    I have the 2+1 split rear seats and if i tilt the single seat forward my whyte e160 will fit with front wheel on. Otherwise its a no it wont fit. Even with bike on a fork mount as close to tail gate as possible the bike still need to be at an angle to fit with rear seats fully up.

    Hope sensor magnet

    I used the hope rotor with the standard e150 magnet mate. All i had to do was bend the magnet inwards. When you first fit it with the hope rotors, because there is a sunken bit around the bolt holes, as you tighten the bolts it causes the magnet mount to bend outwards. All i did was fully...

    MudRocker or new Mudhugger V2 on E160

    Got the mudrocker on my e160 its ok but slaps against tyre on downhill, it not an issue just noisy. Its sits quite close to tyre so likely to have mud clogging issues in winter and wont keep mud off rear pivot. Not seen the new mudhugger, but the old one was fugly but did a better job than the...

    Mugged again

    Thats a shame mate, they do make great bikes, as others have said they are totally planted going downhill but just as capable going up. I dont think for me there is another brand that i would even entertain.
