gasgas249uk Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I had a bad experience with a bike rack. I had the bike on it and over took a gravel truck on a tight lane. The back wheel sticking out by 1 foot hit the side of the truck and bent the bike and rack over at 45 degrees. Twas a triffle worrying at the time I simply bent it back up again and finished my journey but never used it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladytrialer Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) i got one of them racks from dave cooper,( the 4x4 one) its realy easy to use, takes up hardly any space and is a doddle to put the bike on, my only grubble is that the exaust blows right on the back wheel and it goes all sooty oh and no mums or dads needed Edited December 29, 2006 by ladytrialer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr nick Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I was given a rack by a friend of mine and find it very easy to use . It only sticks out either side as far as my wing mirrors (do they still call them that ) so as long as they fit through , my bike will aswell . Another mate has got a trailer that he can fit 2 - bikes on , which is smallish . It only has the "A" frame and a 12" box that runs the length of the axle. The bikes sump plate sits on the box and the front wheel sits a locating place (like a rack) on the "a" frame bit. The back wheel just hangs over the back. Its a really good design and very compact for a trailer , but dont know if its a one off , or if its widely available. It could be another idea for people not sure about getting a rack , but not having enough space to store a trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie stokes Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 i think i no the trailer your on obout who does it belong to ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Here is my design rack. Only weighs 9 kg and the bike sits snugly in the wheel hoops and is secured to the tyre on the rear door by a leather strap. On and off in 30 seconds. No lights plate needed because of the unobscured lights on the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta bodger Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Just looking at the picture from andy re the autoowbars rack. What stops the bike from jumping out of the car bracket? it seems as though the two removable pieces can bounce out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
