FrankG Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Thule make a clip-on rack that is lockable to the car and the bikes can be locked in as well.Just had a look at it, the RaceWay - very impressive!
EmptyB Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Had both....towbar is much better in my view. BUT, some of the latest clip ons do look nifty and neat. Still a lot cheaper than fitting a towbar

Grebel Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Towbar. Had a towbar fitted to my wife's Audi and it cost R2k.  The R7k I spent on the Thule 3 bike platform rack was the second best cycling purchase next to the bike itself. Ok maybe tbe dropper post was second but money well spent fur sure! Get the towbar fitted...
Hairy Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Used both....tow bar with the platform is light years ahead of a clip on rack
Raf Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 The irony of this topic... I just had a towbar fitted this afternoon as the clip on is such a mission 9 / 10 times, id just knock the seats down as opposed to fitting the cling-on Towbar got my vote today!
mike88 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Think im leaning towards the towbar then and you can always hook a trailer on2 it and go camping lol. Decisions Made
Joeboy69 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I have both and prefer the towbar Advantage of the clip-on is you cannula it on another vehicle of need be.

Grebel Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Pray tell where you had your towbar fitted for this price!Towbar SA in Umgeni Road, Durban. It was actually R2250 inc vat and they threw in the black rubber covers for the hitch and the plug
Scotty P Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 A mate of mine got a cracking new rack last year. The downside was she couldn't cycle for about 4 months afterwards.
Wayne Potgieter Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Not sure if anyone has suggested a towbar yet. But my suggestion is towbar.Â
