Roof racks

Tyneamite

Hi, can you guys reccommed a set of roof bars for a honda civic type R, the old model,
also a decent double roof mount for the things.

Silly question time.....if i was to buy x2 single carrier sets, would it do the same job as a double set?
Also could you fit 3 bikes on a roof system or would 2 be the max?
Regards

Check out Thule website, top quality with great design.

3 bikes possible but probably need to have one bike facing backwards to stop the bars clashing.

ok mate thanks, that wouldnt be a problem.......the only real prob we did have was getting some bars to fit a civic

Sell the civic. I used to own an old style Type R and although it was a fantastic car to drive, its not very bike friendly. I did look for roof bars but the only ones i could find were from Honda direct and they weren't cheap. If you would still want a hot hatch that is bike friendly then a Golf GTI / Audi S3 are better options.

Just been buying a set of Thule roof bars with Pro Ride 591 cycle carriers for my Seat Ibiza. Set me back about £350 in total but the quality is outstanding. Not very often I'm 100% pleased with a purchase, especially when parting with that kind of cash but it is great gear.

I have a full set of Thule roof bars sat in my garage that i bought for my old shape 53 plate 3dr civic sport, assume it would fit a type R. None of it fits my current or iminent new car so could all be sold i suppose. Only used it once for a jaunt down to the west country, been sat in the spare room and now the garage for the last couple of years.
