Holdfast Snap-On Lite?

[LexieB]

Has anyone had any experience with this tow-mount bike carrier?

 

I just need something simple to transport my bike out to where I train, and on the odd occasion, on a weekend away. I'm specifically looking for a tow ball mounted carrier because I want to avoid the hassles and potential scratches etc of any other strap mounts etc. (going onto a sedan, so I don't want to strap things to the boot)

 

It's come down to the Holdfast or the Thule, which are pretty much the same price. Ordinarily, I would just go for Thule because I know the brand, but I want to use my eBucks to buy it (because I'm poor and don't really have any other option!), and the Holdfast is the only one I can get this way (via Takealot)

 

So my question is this: is it a decent carrier that will hold my bike and do it's job, or is it not going to be as reliable/steady as the Thule?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Holdfast products are great, i sell plenty of them and there after service is very good aswell.

I use one of those all the time, quick and easy to 'mount' and have even used it on some extended trips without any issues 

 

For short trips I don't bother with that 'lock on' thing but do lock it for longer trips.

A mate has one and it works well. Easy to put on the car and load his bike.

Thanks so much for the feedback guys!

 

I'm going to order the Holdfast now
