johanhorak Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Hi I want to buy a bike rack for my Mini (countryman). No towbar. Which rack should I consider? We have two bikes.
throttles Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Look for Thule, Hang on Range.. go for a 3 bike carrier so you can have some space between the bikes One like this.. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/386516-thule-hangon-3-non-tilt/
ivan888 Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Get Thule wing bars and 2 x Thule Pro rides. That what I used on mine and it works great. Can send pics if you want
johanhorak Posted October 21, 2019 Author Posted October 21, 2019 Thanks. I was wondering about getting a three bike rack for space ANC just incase.
Barry Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 The Token Treefrog is an option https://tokencycling.co.za/treefrog-bike-carriers/

throttles Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/383155-saris-bones-3-bike-rack/ I've seen these on hatch backs too.. Maybe help a CT hubber get it off his hands..
ajnkzn Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Agree 100% with either Treefrog or Seasucker. Those hang on racks are useless and will damage your paint over time. Compare buying roof racks and bike carriers to just a suction cup rack and the suction cup ones are a) cheaper and b) can be taken off quickly and easily when not in use.
Tomik Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 For the cheapest outlay, Saris Bones 3 from bikehub definitely. I've used it multiple times on my Porsche Boxster (with two road bikes) and Golf (2 mtb's) and it has not damaged anything. You do have to put enough padding between the bikes though. I put some duct tape under the clips and straps to protect the paint just in case. And terry toweling on the feet. For long term/everyday use, and least hassle, roof racks are the way to go. Don't think Seasuckers will work on the mini as the boot/window area is probably too small (didn't work on my Boxster).
