leaboy Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) I Need to buy a bike carrier, the one that attaches to the back of a hatchback. I've had a look at the Thule and the Holdfast. It seems the Thule is the Rolls Royce of bike carriers. Whats the most popular/best one to buy? Regards Edited November 11, 2011 by leaboy
Nobody Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 This is the rolls roycehttp://www.saris.com/ Saris bones.
leaboy Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 went for Thule in the end, got a great price
Tripl3_S Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 How much did you pay and where? went for Thule in the end, got a great price
Caerus Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 I'm also in the market for one, I think that there is person on The Hub that was selling them at good prices.
rouxtjie Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Also make sure you bike insurer is ok with the carrier, I am with Santam and they gave me a thumbs up on the thule.
CAAD4 Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Don't discount the new Bosal 2 bike. It folds up into a storage bag and the quality is very good. A mate of mine is very happy with his.

TimW Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Thule is fantastic - I had a holdfast rack and after scratching my frame once too often I got a Thule and it is without doubt one of the best cycling "extras" I have ever had. As an added bonus Thule are also very good at supporting cycling with sponsorships and lucky draws, so I think it is good to support the guys who support cycling.
CAAD4 Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Any idea what he paid? There website says nothing. Check out the video. I think he paid about R2800 in Pretoria somewhere.
Flea Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Support from Thule is also great - I have a number of their products and have always had good service - both pre and post sales. By the way I also have a holdfast, but the Thule is softer on my bike
cycle&sport Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Thule is by far the best bike rack - Thule offer many different option and configerations from the enter level 2 bike rack up to the top of the range 4 bike carrier. They are slight more expensive than holdfast but the extra few SA rants is well worth it.
Cycle Fan Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) I have a Thule 9104 for sale here:https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/15221-thule-9104-bike-rack-no-towbar-needed/ New they about R1700 - mine selling for R995... Let me know if anyone is interested. This is the one that clips onto the rear hatchback door. Edited November 23, 2011 by Cycle Fan
leaboy Posted November 24, 2011 Author Posted November 24, 2011 How much did you pay and where? R840 for the Thule Freeway 3 Bike Carrier
