Thanks so much Mook. This will be my first proper endurance race so I am very much looking forward to this. I agree. I have a Luna (Similar to Fluir) which provides plenty light on its own and might just opt for another as a spare. Of course, I understand that the recommendations are selling tactics. Just wanted to get some input from you folk who have been through this. Thanks a mil again.

Thanks Andreas, good advice. I will then opt for a second 900-lumen light. I know they recommend the extreme lights package, but the asking price is a bit much, especially if not planning on doing night races on the regular.

Hi All I am taking a shot to see whether there is anyone in the Cape Winelands/Durbanville/Paarl region who would be willing to rent our endurance lights for the Trans Baviaans race on 17 August this year. I had looked into the options, which is massively expensive and I am not sure if I will use them again. Have a good day.

Hi all, Thanks for all the suggestions, it certainly is a massive help. I am looking into a new rack in the coming months, but for now, your answers have been very helpful and I am grateful for the input.

Thanks, then the problem almost certainly sits with the tow ball itself. I asked Thule and their feedback was that the bike is too big and the carrier was not made for that, which surely is not the issue.

Thanks Prego, that is what I thought might be the issue. The carrier has been used a fair bit, but it has been like that from the start. I think it might be the actual ball of my towbar. I have tried taping the towball, sillicone tape for grip, etc. But the tuen still happens.

Hi All I'm hoping anyone might have some advice for me. I have a Thule Express 2 tow ball-mounted bike carrier. It works just fine but one issue is that it keeps swivelling on the tow ball. One of the wheels catches the wind an the carrier will turn so much that the other side of my bike hits my car and scratches it badly. I do not know if this is just because I have an XL bike, but pretty sure the carrier itself is not supposed to do that.
