Best Cycle Carrier for Clio?

[StevenMc29]

Looking something to carry one or two mountain bikes. MK2 PH2 Clio btw. Don't have a tow bar and don't intend on getting one. Something which I could take to another car if I decide to change would be good too. Have £45 Halfords vouchers so may use those but I'm not too fussy as they can be used for something else. Pictures of your cycle carriers would be good too.

Any help appreciated.

What sort of money are we talking for this? Clio specific? Any pictures?

Could you PM me some pictures and a price or post in here if you want. From Northern Ireland too so postage might be a problem?

No idea on Clio specific prices, but I bought 2x alu bars and 2x alu bike carriers from www.roofracks.co.uk

Brilliant bits of kit and looked awesome on the roof of the scoob !

Clio Specific or can you change clips or something to attach to another vehicle?

The boot. It's free....

towball carrier isn't possible because you can't fit a towball on a 182. Roofrack or carrying in the boot is the only way to go. I had a towball carrier on my 1.2 and it was magic, but no use on 182. Started putting bike in inside 182 but i got sick of the bike marking the interior so recently bought a roof kit s/h off here. Not used in anger yet but easy enough to fit once you decode the instructions

Websites like skidrive or roofrackshop will tell you exactly what you need to get the car on the roof. Thule proride 591 is the daddy of roof carriers thoguh.

Also think about heli tape or some other protection for the roof as even though the roof bars are rubber padded it may still mark the paintwork.

Easily get 2 bikes, 2 lots of cycling gear and 2 people in our DCI

There's a couple on eBay with not long left for very little money

Thule is the way forward! Ive just bought myself a pair and bars.

They cost me a touch over £360 but they are the best, you can lock them all on with one key and when you change cars you dont need to rebuy all of the bits.

I've got Renault ones, they are not bad looking as far as roof bars go. I went for a fork mounted carrier.

I need one of these too for my road bike. Prefer the fork mounted type, but what holds the rest of the bike steady, apart from a velcro strap? I don't want £2500 worth of carbon wobbling about on the roof. The standard type have a bar that secures the down tube.
