Good advice. Thank you. My son has a 29”small and I have a 650B small. Hopefully I don’t end up with packing and stacking issues.

Thank you so much for explaining the difference. I really appreciate it. I initially wanted a roof/ bakkie bin rack but the armadillo on my bakkie prevents it from being installed. I know I need a light platform. Was thinking of a 3 bike platform for my kids friend if they tag along. I don’t want to spend more than R7k on it. I am looking for an affordable platform. Buzz rack, Marvel,… The one the poster initially eluded to is 13-14kg and extremely reasonable. I tried picking up the Buzzrack at Solomons and the Buzzrack won. I was at Thule on the weekend. Would love their product but I have overspent. I note your comment on the security offerings being more of a deterrent. So I will be more cautious.

Hi @Coppi and bike experienced peeps Please can you advice on the following: (before you laugh at my questions, note I learnt to ride a bicycle in 2021, 1.5m, bought 2 entry level hardtails for my child and I this month, and now need to transport these bikes) Is the bike rack easy to get onto and off the towbar? Do you know if your bike rack came assembled and if not was it easy to put together? (not blessed with screw driver and spanner skills) Are the components easy to replace? (just incase a wall drives into my bumper) How do you lock your bikes to keep it safe as there is a towbar lock but no mention of a bike lock? Apologies for hijacking your request Malcolm. I am also in the market for an affordable bike carrier to fit my towbar.
