Synergy Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 try turning the handle bars by loosing the stem? failing that loosen the stem right of take it of and then also take the forks out the frame and put it in your boot like that but make sure not to kink the cables? not sure if that helps?

GTF Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 (edited) if you have a car to put the bike in simply just take the air out of the tyre and squeeze it out EDIT: sorry. didn't read the whole post. i'm afraid that i don't know any other way than this. belive that this is the easiest way Edited August 28, 2006 by GeeTee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Yeah - I'll have one I found that (from getting lifts... I can't drive yet 6 months to go) it's best if you whack a foot pump in the boot along with the bike.... Much quicker than one of those pooey hand pumps....

Fvil Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 How about putting the bike out side of the car CRAZY but its a way if you get one of those thingys which u can hook/strap your bike to the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Kearns Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 How about putting the bike out side of the car CRAZY but its a way if you get one of those thingys which u can hook/strap your bike to the car That would be a bike rack, but there a pain in the arse.Anyway, did you say you are taking both wheels off ?Just take the front one off (depending on what car you have), if not you could always run a front disc then it will just slide out with out letting your tyre down and pumping it back up each time, but is it really such hard work just to pump a tyre up.Dan.

JT! Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Letting the air out of your tyres and removing the air is the only way really. Unless you want to start undoing your nicely setup brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
