1skinnyman Posted October 29, 2007 Share Rain - I think the Thule clip-on I had has not been sold yet. For 2 bikes and its lockable. It is with my brother in law, he is in Cape Town. Will have to make sure about the availablilty. I used it once. PM me your contact details if you are intrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaskar Posted October 29, 2007 Share Towbar - Any cheapy will do . Unless you have oversize carbon tubing in your frame, which cannot be clamped! Then you need a Thule Ride-On or similar carrier, where the bike sits on the rack, in stead of hanging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted October 29, 2007 Share Make sure your bikes fit the rack ............ sounds obvious, but you'll be surprised how often bikes don't fit the racks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted October 29, 2007 Share Ooops sorry that is a big factor when getting a rack . My 3 bike rack hardly gets used cause my dual suspension will not hang without a special little hanging goodie . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck Posted April 27, 2009 Share Not sure how handy you are but if you are then I would suggest you make your own. And while you're at it make a 'ride on'. It eliminates problems that you could face with frame compatibility and hanger type carriers. If you are not into DIY I would still suggest 'ride on'. You obviously need a towbar.

nolipoli Posted April 29, 2009 Share Thule makes a ride-on that fits direct on the hatch. I am sure its not cheap, but it looks pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
