Jaco Steyn Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 I do not know about the build quality of this rack, but I think it's a very cost effective option. I saw this "Dixon" branded 3 bike towbar-mount cycle rack at the Cash Crusaders at President Square in Vanderbijlpark for R1876 and it's new, not second hand. I have attached a photo of the cycle rack still in its box. If I did not already have a 3 bike rack, I would have seriously considered this one to start off with.
SuperDooperSnooper Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Seems like a budget option, but from hard earned experience with Dixon products you generally get what you paid for.
Vetseun Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Your call Mate.Putting a R100 000.00 bike on a R1900.00 rack makes my tummy want to work. But that is me.
LeoKnight Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Actually do wonder if that is a new one as the box appeared to have been resealed.
Clinton H Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 You always get what u pay for , its just the way things work . Bounceing bicycles at 120 kmph will cost you big bucks ....
Dexter-morgan Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 I once got a Bike rack from Game for R2000 and never had issues.
Yo-Yo Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Seems the OP already has a 3 bike rack and is letting people know if they are looking for a cheap 3 bike rack.Â
Flowta Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 I got a similar 2-bike rack from Makro a few years back, and haven't had any issues with it
slickjay007 Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Is this the same model bike rack advertised on the Hub? https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/313143-platform-3bike-rack-brand-new/ Price doesn't seem right...
lerouc Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 I once got a Bike rack from Game for R2000 and never had issues. Me to, still using to this day.
herrowpreeze Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 ive had one for the past year now, never had any issue what so ever. even drove my bikes form jhb to ct on itI do not know about the build quality of this rack, but I think it's a very cost effective option.

Geronimo Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 I bought a 3 bike rack from Makro about 4 or 5 years ago. Still going without any issues and have used it on some shitty roads.
Skylark Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Dixon is just rebranded goods, they don't make anything themselves, it's hit and miss, some Dixon stuff is very decent some rubbish. If it looks well made and it works then its a steal. Â Purely basing it's value/usability off of the cheap price is not sound logic from my experience, famous branding can add up to 75% of useless value, we've all seen it, some part has a brand silkscreened on to it and suddenly its double or triple the price of the identical non branded good.
