  • I can't believe I waited so long to do this! I've integrated my MTB career, dirt jump bikes and enduro bikes with my love for cars, and my C63 AMG. It look so crazy with the bike on the roof of the car, and I tested it out with launch control too and she lives! so pumped. Let me know what you want to see next in the comments!!! Shout out to Sea Sucker for sending me the Talon bike racks.

    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.

    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.

    That lube isn't for the rubber pads btw it's for if you need to service the pump mechanism.

    • @superspecky4eyes
      @superspecky4eyes Před 4 lety

      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.
