Tow Bar and Thule MTB rack fitted

[jakm15]

Got a towbar fitted today and built the bike rack up. I've been doing a few miles recently so ive decided to invest in a decent bike rack. Were off to Gisdale Forest in the morning so ill see what its like. Had a quick drive around seems very secure and quick to fit. Any questions or comments just post.

thanks

ye it is pretty good, you can hardly notice it even fully loaded.

my mate forgets it's there sometimes (his passatt) and starts getting a bit close to hedges. Have to remind him how much he's just paid for his wheels

ye you have to remember they stick out a little bit you could be doing some expensive hedge trimming lol!

I prefer my roof rack setup. But you can't really go wrong with Thule!

i had a look at some roof ones but decided the clio roofs feel like they are made of tin foil, after a days riding i didnt fancy lifting my downhill rig onto a car roof and you cant see them to see what they are doing, and i could see myself after a long drive going under a barrier of some sort.

Bikes look HUGE on the back of a clio.

Ye they do, one of the bikes is pretty big because its a jump/downhill frame
