WHY DID I WAIT TO DO THIS!?

[@oneofthemany]

The lube is for the pressure buttons. You should be using a mild soapy water to fit the suckers and you need to clean the surface of the car before you fit them on it, this makes sure you have a proper seal. I've been using mine for 2 years now and still no issues and I've done loads of miles on it.

[@gotocov]

I think the lubes are for the pump and you use water for the pads.

[@MattJones]

damn, my mistake

[@slangingiron4016]

gotocov wrong

[@oneofthemany]

gotocov is right

[@brunochampoux]

@gotocov is right. The lube is for maintenance of the pump cylinders. The pads do not need anything to hold to a surface (except being clean).

[@gotocov]

@@brunochampoux please look at Seasucker's youtube video's

[@sachad876]

man i would be really interested to hear what Matt thinks about the seasucker two years later after the video was posted!

[@LukePenketh]

I spend enough time just staring at my bike. I can't imagine how long I'd stare at my bike on the top of a car like that..

[@twistedenglish1412]

Been using the sea suckers on my A5 for a couple of years now mate, they say not to exceed 70mph but I've done 90+ with no problem. Keep the sick content coming.

[@superspecky4eyes]

That lube isn't for the rubber pads btw it's for if you need to service the pump mechanism. I have the Seasucker Minibomber and it's fantastic. Been using it for about 2 years and it's always rock solid.

[@kelvin1987campbell]

Hey man, would you mind letting me know how your minibomber has treated you another 2 years in? Looking at it as an option for the wife and I!

[@superspecky4eyes]

I have had to replace one of the pump plungers because I accidentally stood on it and snapped it off but other than that, it still works perfectly. As long as you look after it, I think they are pretty fool proof, the pumps themselves only have 3 parts to them, so there's not really a lot that can go wrong. Just make sure to keep the plastic covers on the sucker pads when not in use, as this will stop them warping or getting tiny nicks in them that might compromise the seal. Also, they recommend stripping down all the pads/pumps once every couple of years to clean/lube the pumps, which isn't as much a hassle as it sounds since the mechanism is so simple. Overall, I think it is an excellent product, if a little expensive to get in the UK. You get what you pay for though. Hope that helps.

FUN FACT: THEY USED THEM SEA SUCKERS TO LIFT THE GLASS FOR THE SHARD IN LONDON

[@2508Nivag]

Surely next step is sombody on the bike as you gun the car.

[@smokealonetone]

That car is nasty 🔥🔥🔥

[@Vifferboy]

Haha the lube is for the pistons in the vacuum pumps. RTFM next time ;-)

[@tw2jumpers189]

Sick motor mate, ild bring it down a few more ml though if it was mine

[@MrPutrifyingEagor]

That Bike rack is so damn cool! I think I actually let a squirt of wee out when you launched that car! It sounds insane!

[@userb3nje909]

Car sounds wonderful

[@bicyclelife7088]

Thanks for sharing. My Mercedes wouldn't accept a trunk rack, and I'm not putting a trailer hitch on it. This looked like the best option and all the reviews look amazing. I just got one in the mail today.

[@Ktown_323]

How do you like it?

[@bicyclelife7088]

@WWF90904 it has it's ups and downs. The hardest part is getting the front wheel through axle in while holding the bike it. It would be simple with two people but for one it is hard as I have to hold the bike and screw in the axle at the same time. Once it's on though it is great.

[@S550_HB]

This is the perfect idea for my Mustang

[@dawnkangas2968]

Awesome 😎

[@Salvotation]

one thing, might be good to tie the cranks still. in case they spin into the glass. probably wont move but just had that image in my head

[@tallstars1334]

Salvotation Yes, it’s a very good idea to secure the cranks. The rack comes with a orange piece of Velcro to do that. First time I used this rack on my Tesla Model 3, I cracked the glass roof cause the pedal rotated and hit the glass :(

[@wy3131]

The supplied silicon lube is not for the sucker but for the pump valve mechanism! The large rubber suckers just need to be cleaned with water and a bit of water before mounting to improve the seal. Now you’ve got silicon oil all over the glass panes. Not good.

[@scottrichardson2562]

Yo that lube is to keep the interior o-rings inside the pumps from cracking and keeping a good seal. You’re supposed to do it as maintenance. Lol window cleaner and a rag to clean the surface will do before instal.

[@Joe-mans]

You are an inspiration to everyone Matt

[@cfvgd]

Cold engine launch. Goooood

[@olliefergusson]

That looks sick.

[@levingamm5956]

Looks so sick, sick bike,sick car

[@iotarask77]

great solution, I also use the roof rack on bmw 4 series grand coupe, but those need to be stored somewhere, are heavy, high buildup, and installation takes longer. These fellas can be just left in the car and are installed easily. Wondering how fast is still safe and quiet. Roof rack usually super noisy and unsafe at more than 130kmh.

[@KDHF115]

Yaaas I Love how the c63 CHOMPS up the road when you put your foot down!!

[@RdelaCourt1]

Has anyone had any issues with the suction mount being in the glass? Just bought something similar but I’m aftaid of the force that will be extorted on the glass when I got over speed bumps or hit compressions on the motorway

[@dec2123]

matt the lube is for the pressy thing to keep them smooth. all you need is water..

[@eduhgraficx]

That exhaust=Eargasm

[@zachwilson7061]

How you take the suction cups off?

[@wesleythompson5085]

Holy crap that thing sounds immense

[@garyhall4449]

Personally I think it looks sick. A friend in the cycling club has a similar system on his 911 and tourers all over Europe with his bike on the roof.. 👍

[@Panda_N8]

Hows it been holding up?

[@alexjarrett8731]

It's annoying that the front one isn't in the middle. Use the aerial fin for guidance

[@MattJones]

the axle holder is offset with the rack, so the bike is central even though the sea sucker isn't, I think.....?

[@ILOlivan]

Alex Jarrett the centre axel of the triangle of the sucker is not in the middle

[@alexjarrett8731]

It's a beautiful car anyway Matt!

[@demonhays7120]

nice dream set up setn a new standard at the trails 👍

[@zacrobertson9004]

Love the whip !!!!

[@008lawson]

Was kinda scared that crank was going to spin round and smash the rear window. Looks epic

[@mb_dori]

I need that!

[@KurtisPape]

Damn Bro, THAT LAUNCH

[@romansenger2322]

Came for the roof rack, stayed for the car

[@LowStyleMac]

Oowee that Mercedes is badass

[@plutosknight]

Why don't you strap the sucker to the rear wheel first then stick it to the car wherever it lands after doing the front?

[@tech_knowledgy]

I shall say that is sick... so sick.

[@markarcher8500]

Do these only work on a glass roof?

[@jackstruttdh8989]

[@gabsadenip07]

Lmao why you put the lube on the suction caps 😅

[@angusburnside2243]

Sick video🤘🏻

[@DaweBo1]

just a suggestion Matt, if you go to use this you should use something to stop the cranks potentially spinning just in case. like tie one side too the frame or something. Last thing you want is scuffed glass

[@MattJones]

DaweBo1 hey dude! I thought the same but actually they don’t hit! It’s close but they can’t touch which is cool

[@DaweBo1]

Fair play then mate, beautiful car btw i raced one in my old rs3 a few weeks back. The sound of hell breaking open as he went by me was enough to put me in my place hahaha

[@Wannaridebikes]

Is that lube gonna stain he glass. Like oil does.

[@ashleygibbons1]

Do the pedals or cranks touch the roof if they spin ?

[@MattJones]

Ashley Gibbons they’re close but they don’t at all mate ni

[@desdoolan5781]

How do you fit a fox float x2 on your marin Attack Trail when there is no x2 shock that fits the frame

[@ideapap1]

Des Doolan He's sponsored he probably had one custom made

[@Freddiethomson]

200x57mm? You can get an x2 in that size

[@MattJones]

The shock size is 200x57mm mate, so it's a metric shock

i checked and it doesnt reach the glass thankfully
