Ysterperd Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Try and get a non- factory towbar. STEELITE - makes great towbars. More than half the price of OEM towbars albeit not as detachable.
Mongoose! Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 If you really not in the market for a tow bar.Just make sure your bikes are insured. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/219203-tungha-13-bicycle-carrier-–-bike-rack-for-3-bikes/
Face Plant Posted July 25, 2017 Author Posted July 25, 2017 @ Mongoose, thanks for the info but I would definitely want a platform carrier, never been a fan of the hanging type of carrier

GrahamS2 Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Because of warranties on the vehicles you can only fit agent approved tow bars which are crazy expensive. This is not always the case, so check with the manufacturer. I have an aftermarket removable towbar fitted with zero impact on motorplan or warranty (at a third of the price of the factory item).
Shebeen Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 that said .... for DIRT roads .... you really want to go roof mounted !! The dust cloud behind the vehicle actually makes the bike dirtier than the actual MTB ride !! I dont mind the "dirt", but that FINE grit must eat away at the chain and gears ... http://www.coveryourcranks.com/wp-content/themes/crankcase/images/get-it-now-slide.jpg

TALUS Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Autobar. Audi Hatfield send their cars to them and then double the price. Warranty 100%
Eddy Gordo Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 i dunno, have seen one before but not sure if it was imported or not. pretty sure you can bodge one together with a pillowcase and some bungy cordOr buy some raincoat material at a fabric shop and some elastic and get it made.
Jaco Steyn Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Have you tried both Wadee's Cycles and Saleys cycles at the Indian Plaza in Vereeniging? I purchashed my Buzz Rack Buzz Runner Spark 3 at Wadee's and it was over R2500 cheaper than any other place I could find. And not forgetting Christo or Harry at Metro Cycles in Vanderbijlpark. I have always had excellent service and prices from them.
