Cheers Justin :thumbup: Nope you need a Flange (Oh er misssus!!!!) type. If it's detachable see if you can get the flange fitment. Local guy has a detachable Flange fitted and it works a treat!!

ross brown Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hi Justin FYI, my experience is this. I have a Honda CRV with a detachable swan neck towbar and a Dave Cooper bike rack. Rack fits great and is easy to load but... there is movement in the set up once the bike is loaded on. While the detachable swan neck bar only wobbles a few mm (movement is in the roll axis) at the towbar, out at the ends of the bike its like a pendulum and there is enough movement while driving that I never feel the bike is 100% secure whenever I go over a bump. So I've gone for a trailer. Next car will NOT have a detachable towbar. Suggest before you buy a new rack you try and get a drive with someone else's set up with a detachable bar. Cheers.
