Cargo Bikes

Baller build so far. What's that seatpost?

It's a bontrager pro carbon. As are the bars.

I need to get the fork on my supercaliber serviced so I'm going to put my GX AXS on the cargo bike for a few weeks. That's going to be hilarious

Beautiful build lad.

I’m going to say it again, Omnium really know how to do paint jobs. Loves their colours.

Fair point. I've got some cheap mech discs in the parts bin with the intent to use them, but I guess they are pretty cost effective nowadays, and bleeding isn't as intimidating as I once recalled it being after a couple instructional vids.

Anyone care to chime in on rough length for their front hose on a Mini-Max? Want to sort out if most stock length 850-1000cm for a front brake will do, even if it might be blaringly obvious that it probably won't.

I wish I had the storage for one!

Me too. until we move house....we have nowhere to put it

Stop it! <3

Anyone on here with clever storage idea for a Mini Max either in or in front of Victorian terrace?

wheel it through the house at the back, its the most sustainable solution; cheaper (no asgard) and safer too.

I keep mine inside my narrowboat...there’ll be no issues in a house👍

Nice build

Omniums stand on their nose so you could mount a hook or something near the front door, I live in a 1st floor flat and I kept my Mini-Max on its front end in my front porch all the time.

Got WiFi Omnium Cargo and Mini-Max frames in stock in the UK if anyone’s looking, new colourways are sexy

Must resist

Would be interested to see a picture of your system.

I don't deny it can fit in the house, just not sure I can make it become a "feature" for the hallway to my OH

I’ll put my Mini-Max in when I get a chance (we have an outhouse now for bikes as my OH got a Bullitt).

It makes for a great overflow drying rack

Mine is like art in my manboatcave!😂

This is the fit I was worried about...

Can't open the boot obviously. But happy that it will go.

Turn it around so the bike is facing backwards with the rear wheel partially in front of your wind screen?
I do the same with our Bullitt during transport on the roof of our car.

Now you've got me wondering if I can get my bullit on the roof of our Tiguan.

How the f do you lift a Bullitt that high, two person job minimum surely?
Love to see a pic of this.

bunnyhop?

I’ve seen a Thule tandem roof rack used with a Bullitt, it pivots down to the floor so you can slide it on like a ramp and then lift the back end to push it up onto the roof of your car.

I’ve also seen the above copied with a ladder, securing the Bullitt to the ladder first, getting the front end onto a roof rack/bars and then lifting the back end up and on

Indeed a two person job. I made a wooden support frame to be used on top of the transverse bars. This way the Bullitt is positioned closer to the roof (compared with a Thule style bike rack), makes lifting it in the roof a lot easier.

Made a cut out for the steering rod using a chisel, the bike is supported underneath the cargo area.

Have used it for a cycling trip in France, we drove more than 700 km with the cargo bike on the roof before we started cycling.

Is fuel efficiency not horrendous with a cargo bike up there?

Two regular bikes on the roof killed the mileage on my wee Suzuki Alto.

Definitely two.... but my wife has been asking constantly whether we can take "the [family] bikes" with us on trips.
