Jaz Posted November 1, 2021 Share I need to get a 4 bike carrier that fits on a towbar. I see Holdfast is slightly cheaper than Thule. Would anyone recommend them, or should I stay away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koos Likkewaan Posted November 1, 2021 Share Never had a problem with Holdfast. Venter Trailer also the agents for them and sell the products with their trailers. Used their hang on bike carrier, brackets and towbar extender. Find it a good solid product. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted November 1, 2021 Share For R800, go with Thule.... When you need the odd spare Thule will stock it. And when you want to sell it the Thule brand gets a premium. PS - try your luck with CWC .... they are running a special where you can ask for a discount on a particular item, via a direct message to them. Though they most likely will try to punt their marvell brand .... Comrade J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted November 2, 2021 Share I have 3 Holdfast racks, and 2 thule. You can get all the Holdfast parts, and they don't cost silly money. My next rack will be Holdfast again. Eddy Gordo, TheoG, ChrisF and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Knox-Davies Posted November 2, 2021 Share I have a Holdfast Bike rack in good condition for sale (2 bike bracket) if you are interested? R500. PM if you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted November 2, 2021 Share Nothing wrong with Holdfast, they've upped their game exponentially over the years and being local there's plenty support/spares. RoddieJ and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadbod Racing Posted November 2, 2021 Share I can't knock Holdfast at all. Last year I needed a rubber for my roofracks and I went directly to them in Wetton and got helped immediately. I'll definitely buy another Holdfast product. ChrisF and RoddieJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Dassie Posted November 2, 2021 Share Another recent entry to the local carrier market is Peruzz, made in and exported from Italy. Pricing is pretty spot on and the quality/design is appreciably up there with the likes of the Swedes. The distributor ended up clearing all the stock to retailers and have had to put in another order. *disclaimer, am doing some baseline work with the local guys. nadia_p-t and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
