I’ve just scored me an uber private parking spot for me bike in a part of our building where I work, behind alarmed doors :w00t:
However the entrance has a 7 inch high step, and the pavement as well to get on.
Would that be problematic riding onto it, e.g. could it damage the wheels? Have to see otherwise regarding pushing it onto it, but might prove too high for a push?
I’d use the plank up and down. But def check clearance on the way down I can clear a ~4inch step on the R6 going down just fine. But check when the suspension compresses esp on the way down.
I’ve got a shed load of decent 6" x 2" off-cuts and left-overs from building my garage and can knock you up a decent 7" ramp with for free, but you’ll have to collect from SE London/Kent.
The offers on the table, just PM and give me 24 hours if you want to take it up. I can make it in easy, self assembly kit form so it will fit in a back pack if that helps.
(I’m in Chislehurst, about a mile or so off the A20, 11 or so miles from London Bridge.)
I have to do a similar step at my home, I just use a cut off from a 3" plank which I lay in front of the step so it kind of turns it into 2 smaller steps - goes up easy
7" is only about the height of a kerb… You won’t need a plank and your wheels/bearings will be fine… just give it a little throttle and control the clutch… easy peasy.
By then I have smashed both doors, seeing as it was originally an entrance to a bank branch, not a garage :w00t:
The kerb is lower, around 4-5 inch, which shouldn’t be too problematic. Apart from that, handling around with a ramp there mornings on Moorgate might be a bit madness, traffic wise :w00t:
Plus the kerb stone is a bit rounded, whereas the step is a rather sharp-ish 90 degree angle thingy
