Towbar mounted rack

adamb · June 2007

Looking for a towbar mounted rack but undecided which to buy. Usually only carry two bikes but option of three would be good too. Also has to fit my kite buggy so favouring racks that hang bikes on top tube rather than fit wheels in.

Have a witter towbar so the type where a plate fits behind the towball is fine (Witter own and Pendle racks).

Any experience/views of these or others welcome, oh and any deals out there?!

i havd just changed from a top tube carrier to a wheel supported one due to bikes rubbing together. the thule one i now have is this one http://www.thule.com/Thule/ProductPage____45828.aspx which should work with a buggy as the base is flat. not the cheapest .... this will be my third bike carrier.

Looks good. How does it attach the the towbar, to the plate or ball - or do you need to remove the towball? Is it quick to fit?

to the ball. big lever then a srew adjust somthing. expensive. need to remove my old top tube rack mounting plate. but it can be used folded up as well.

I have a Maxxraxx carries up to 4 bikes 2 adult 2 mid size kids bikes and it's excellent. Easy to use and install and you can drop it fully loaded to get into the back of you car if you've got estate/hatchback. Very solid as well.
See website for details.

Adam, I've got one of these (the 4 bike one) for sale if you're interested. http://www.drop-on.com/news.asp?id=6

Cost œ250 but due to selling the car with the towbar, it's now for sale. It's not as clean as the one in the picture but they're built to last and you can add boxes and stuff, see http://www.drop-on.com/index.asp.

If you're interested, let me know.

Thanks all for the advice a few more to look at other than those I'd seen.
