One Carb Or Two?

my dad uses a thule roof rack (carries 4 cycles), the paintwork is scratched where we havent been high enough and caught the car.
Holy thread revival batman!!!! 
That's not the fault of the roof rack though is it. My mates dad scratched his boot when he was lifting my bike onto his rear rack, not really the fault of the rack (probably mine for not removing my sharp pedals, ).

I got my whyte inside the saloon, with the front wheel and bike seat removed. wasn't so easy to change gear, but it worked for me.

Those thule roof bars look good. No use for me though as my downhill bike weighs 35kg, and there's always two of us minimum. I think the roof would end up a little mis-shapen

That's one heavy bike, Are you sure it's 35Kg and not 35Ibs?
I made that mistake with my mates bike, think the specialized website had got the units wrong or something.

Yeah, it is very heavy. Its a Specialized big hit, but I've built it myself to be bomb-proof. For example the tyres are 3 inches wide, and filled with 2 bottles of tyre 'sludge' each to stop punctures. I think one wheel alone is about 7 or 8kg!
Its a ******* to get to the top of the hill!

Congratulations then, . I think you officially own the heaviest bike ever, More than twice as heavy as my bike, and it's not the lightest full sus.
Presume it must be one of the old original big hit frames? Wouldn't have thought punctures would be a problem on a DH course, can't imagine a trail would be lined with hawthorn, I've got tubeless on mine and not had a puncture in the entire time I've owned it (prob 5 years now).
Kind of makes up for all the punctures I got when I was younger and riding on canal paths, two punctures every 100yds, .

Yeah its a mk2, so about 7 years old. We go to the world cup track at Fort William Quite a lot. Its made completely out of rocks and I used to get a puncture on nearly every run before the sludge! Bloody wheels look like pretzls haha
