  1. Hi all, A long while ago I bought a 2ndhand Toyota RAV4 (2005 model) which, by design, have a spare wheel mounted on the back (booth) door. It also had a customised tow bar (in form of it being welded with additional steel bars to make it longer to reach beyond the spare wheel). I have that tow bar removed and sold because I never needed one. My MTB was transported mostly in the back, with back seats removed or folded flat. However, over time I got tired of loading / unloading the bike plus I now must share space with the "boss (wife)" in terms of additional baggage in booth. So, I want to transport my MTB outside the SUV. So, my options are as follows: (a) definitely NO tow bar again, because it will cause me lot of grief in terms of it being at a low angle underneath the SUV as well as requiring welding to extend its reach, meaning it will be closer to ground, as well as hitting speed bumps, etc (which did happened a lot with the original tow bar before I had it removed). Also, a Thule Euro bike rack mounted on a tow bar will prevent me from opening the 5th door / accessing the boot, unless I remove bikes from tow bar rack before I can open the door. (b) roof racks are not an option, ever, due to height of SUV involved, as well as the messy issues of MTB (bugs, dirt, etc) as well as garage issues. Which lefts me with a "rack-on-spare wheel" option which also sounds like a more sensible option because it is easy to get access to the booth with bikes hanging off the wheel. But my problem is that the Thule "Spare Me" rack does not fit the RAV4 spare wheel design. What else are my options? Can anyone give me some advice, please? Thanks in advance.
  2. www.gocyclingonline.co.za Finally, a bike carrier that’s easy to install and won’t damage your car! SeaSucker bike racks use our incredibly strong vacuum mounts and allow you to temporarily but securely mount your bike to the roof of your car without the hassle of permanently attaching any hardware. SeaSuckers are non-marking, UV and weather resistant, and hold exceptionally well to glass or metal surfaces. Includes one Rear Wheel Strap (15cm SeaSucker with hook-and-loop straps) to secure your bike’s rear wheel and keep the tail from sliding left or right. This rack has one fork clamp attached to three 15cm SeaSuckers. Rack body made of 1/2″ HDPE, which makes it strong enough to hold your bike yet flexible enough to follow the curve of your roof line. Designed to mount to your roof and front windshield, but can be used just about anywhere – on the roof, on the trunk, etc. Approximate size: 38cm x 30.5cm. Comes with the Delta Bike Hitch Pro fork mount, which is lockable and heavy-duty. Also, it opens wide enough when you release the lever that you don’t have to tighten or loosen the acorn nut on the opposite side every time you put your bike in or take your bike out of the mount. Some assembly may be required.
  3. Hi guys, I've seen a few bakkies in stellenbosch with decent 'covers' for the tailgates which are then used to just chuck bike on the back. How much do these covers cost and where can I look for them etc etc? Dawels
