They probs need adjusting and cleaning. Wheel also possibly buckled??

Might be worth taking it to your local bike shop to sort?

wheel is a shade buckled but really only slightly. ive checked the disc out it seems straight enough. will strip caliper down tomorrow night and have a look at the piston. i tried bending the disc out the way slightly which didnt seem to help. the cable is free moving itelf so seems to point towards the piston.

That's the limit of my knowledge tbh. You are more mechanically minded than anyway! Sure you'll sort it.

Anyone use the roof rack carriers for bikes? BMW doesn't have folding rear seats so its a bit of a pain to fit a bike in. Corsa is impossible with the cage in it so roof racks or other method attachments seem the only options.

Any advice/help/advice?

how on earth does that attach to a vehicle? my issue is with mine, so ive been told anyway is that as i have a tiny tiny spoiler on the boot it will catch/be in the way of such devices.

Straps are provided mate.


This will go over boot spoliers too. It will need to with my vRS!

Tbh i've not had it fitted to the Skoda, only the Audi, but it does fit.




Also doesn't matter if your rear bumber doesn't have a wide step on it like in pic. It will fit on with the feet at an angle.

Do you have a tow bar? There are a few models that attach to the towball.
