Yes, but in Scandinavia I think most pillars are "extended" as standard (We are normally rather tall people), at least mine is, and I wasn't asked if I wanted one (ext), so I tried desperately to put my bike in my new B&W box! I then had to remove my saddle and take the pillar out from below, to be able to do it, so today I have bought an extra "Telescope Post", and a new (Extra, as my bike is a "Lightweight", which I think has a titanium post as standard?) titanium post for it, to be removed from the top and with an integrated ring on top for the saddle adjustment, without the weight of an original and rather complicated Brompton saddle clamp. A Chinese "Aceoffix" clamp is a little lighter and smarter I think, for my TP.

Thanks for the video. Can I ask something? On your website it is stated that the minimum distance between bars is 62,5cm = 625mm. However on Hapro's own website it is stated that the minimum distance between bars is only 550mm = 55cm. Can you clarify which one is correct please, 625mm or 550mm? Thank you!

It depends on which roof bars you have. This video shows the older style Thule wing bars, which are supplied with rubber strips that you can cut to fit. The new Thule wing bar Evo and Yakima roof bars are supplied with rubber inserts that don't have to be removed when using T-track adapters.

Hello! there is no need to remove the rotors from your disc brake wheels as it shouldn't make any difference to the fitting process.
@TicatHockey5 жыл бұрын
@@roofboxcompany thanks your reply. I ask as the wheel (inside wheel bag) sits loosely inside the box, it may be susceptible to rotor bending in transit. Other box manufacturers secures the wheel inside the box preventing contact with the frame or any hard object that would accidentally bend the rotor. Will the Bike Box ii resist compression if heavy luggage is stacked on top once in airplane?
@roofboxcompany5 жыл бұрын
The bike bag has layers of protective foam inside which not only protect the wheels and the frame but also secures the wheel bag once the bike box is assembled. The bike box ll is robust and we have never had a single bike damaged inside any B&W case. Check out Ben Moore (professional downhill racer) over on instagram as he uses B&W cases to transport his bikes all around the world.

Unfortunately the Easyfold XT does not fit most Ebikes - the wheel straps are too short and the mounting arms are not long enough. Its a shame because its a nice idea - just not properly designed.
@roofboxcompany5 жыл бұрын
Hello, and thanks for commenting. There are longer wheel straps available separately that will take wheels up 4.7" which will cover most bikes. The bike frame arms can also be attached to the seat post and down tube as well as the cross bar. If you still struggle attaching the mounting arms, a good option would be to check out a bike rack with an adjustable upright like the BUZZRACK E-Scorpion (which is available in a 1 and 2 bike version) - www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel4_tab.php?BRP612

I bought this bike rack for my smax car. However the bike rack is slightly rubbing when I open my boot, with paint getting damaged. It is the plastic piece (the tilt function) at the front of the buffalo where the boot door rubs in opening. Given that a lot of towbars could be hitting walls etc be careful with the distance between the towball and car. It is also an inconvenience having to screw/unscrew the bolt securing the tilt function. Otherwise it looks a good piece of kit.

Thanks for commenting! We are sorry to hear this rack is slightly rubbing when you open your boot. Buzzrack do say that a 65mm clearance is required from the centre of the tow ball to the rear of your vehicle, which is highlighted on our product page. Have you checked your tow ball distance? If not, we would be interested to know what it is.
