leaboy Posted November 11, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAD4 Posted November 23, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted November 23, 2011 Share 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 Share Any idea what he paid? There website says nothing. Check out the video. I think he paid about R2800 in Pretoria somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flea Posted November 23, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycle&sport Posted November 23, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
