    I use tow bar bike carrier, the good thing is it can be unlocked to pull forwards with bikes attached for access into boot of car. It is secure so going over bumps does not cause it to move around.

  • @davetate9814

      @GT380man 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Is there a make that stands out for you?
      We’ve got a very good towbar on my wife’s small Rangerover. I paid for it to be added because I occasionally tow a motorcycle trailer. I’ve convinced her to leave it mounted permanently although it’s removable, on grounds that it will properly punish anyone who runs into the back of her 😮
      I like the idea of a two adult bicycle carrier.
      My motorcycle trailer is great for carrying two full dress bikes. It’d look silly with a couple of cycles on it!

  • @animal355

    I have the previous Halfords bike rack with 6 mounting points. And the other week I nearly got rid of it; I'm so glad I watched this review. A review that reviews how good my current bike rack is. Great work Geoff.

  • @GCP1960
    @GCP1960 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I had a similar Halfords rack a few years ago. It worked the opposite way... the hooks were on the top of the tailgate, and the plastic "tubes" were on the bottom. So after initial adjustment, just hook on the top, put the "tubes" in the boot, close lid, and pull the bottom straps taut . With initial adjustment, fitted fine on saloons, hatchbacks and even an MX5, and reg plate was visible.

  • @Broadwould
    @Broadwould 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Rear hatches/hinges aren't designed to take the weight of two bikes. Also you then need another number plate and lights to stay legal.
    Tow bar mounted bike carrier or a trailer or roof bar mounted bike clamps are only safe options.

    Be prepared for damage to your car using these.
    Also the bikes seem low, do they partially cover the number plate?
    The Police can get uppity about that.
    I’d take it back to Halfords and say its not suitable for purpose.
    A towbar one would be better for you, lifting bikes off car roofs isn’t that easy if you’re not too tall.

      Love it. My old motorcycles were rebuilt and maintained by me. The MOT tester knew each of them and said they were among the easiest to test, because everything was more than good enough.
      I believe it was 2017 that my bikes became MOT and road tax exempt. The cost savings cover the costs of insuring my bikes and my car!

  • @MTBLaura
    @MTBLaura 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Haha this is how I ended up with a crewcab transit 😂😂 I had that exact rack on my old Ford CMax, it was so much faff loading and offloading, and driving was terrifying knowing the bikes were basically being held on with 4 teeny straps. I wouldn't have my bikes on the roof cause I know I'd forget and crunch them all on a barrier. A tow bar rack, (Thule is often recommended) where the bikes are all sat properly would be the answer for anything more than 3 bikes. Look forward to seeing you all on the trails!

    • @MTBLaura
      @MTBLaura 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      also, I knew you were going to talk about the sunscreen song. And take that rack back for a refund; they are not fit for purpose and have caused many a bike enthusiast to just stop riding. Looking forward to seeing the new Funky Phil one!

  • @IanJLennard
    @IanJLennard 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    That piece of plastic deformed quite well, years ago Halfords tried selling me one of those racks and it kept falling off. I ended up getting a tow ball fitted and got a rack that mounted on it. I have since changed car but can still use the rack

  • @chrisgraythereal
    @chrisgraythereal 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have one of these, and just took my old T25 all the way to Tenerife and back without any dramas. I can safely say that the rack just about works but is basically crap.
    I gave up using those plastic dumbell things because they compress the rubber seal around the tailgate and let water in. I switched the straps around and used the ones with the flat hooky things instead. (Use a bit of gaffer tape to line the hook to protect the paintwork.)
    My van has a metal bumper, easy enough to use the ordinary metal hooks there, and this arrangement holds the rack in position easily. No side to side movement.
    So if you don't need to open the tailgate and don't mind your bikes obscuring number plates and lights then you're fine. So long as the cops don't object.
    I did realise that if anyone wants to steal my bike, chaining it to the rack won't help. You can literally loosen the straps and just lift the whole thing off in one go, hang it off the back of the thiefmobile and away you go. Those plastic dumbells do at least make this a bit less easy, but then normal car use gets harder!

  • @hillsbills7431
    @hillsbills7431 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Had every type of bike rack..on various cars.. like you say Geoff they are certainly not great these days..more plastic than anything. We had one loosen on the M25 when it was on the roof type. The days of using the old baby mirror to see the bikes up there and not the child. The trailer one i think is easier for putting the bikes on.
    I think getting something adapted for ya is a safer option.

  • @Masonic1016
    @Masonic1016 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Would it work if you put a flat steel bar behind the number plate, with enough of it protruding either side, and bent to shape, to give you 2 lower mounting points?
    It would probably need a length of steel or wood at the back of the bumper to make it more solid.

    Definetly a refund. Looked at these a while back and decided to visit a wrecker and get a genuine towbar for my mondeo mk4. Fitting was straightforward but working out how to programme Forscan to recognise the towbar took a bit of figuring so the reversing sensors worked and power was extended from the parking assist module to the tow socket and it all worked.

    I’ve never seen this kind of bike rack thing. I’ve always thought it was either the hitch ball mount or roof rack type.
    Anyway I have no other choice but to suggest Thule … since they’re 🇸🇪 and I’m 🇳🇴! I have only seen quality products from them.

    These racks are not the best, the fitting is reliant on the straps which can be a weak point.
    Bite the bullet, get a tow bar and a Thule rack, worth every penny.
    I’d heavily advise against roof mounted ones as you will forget the bikes and try and enter a height restriction!!!!!
    Trailer mounted rack is also a good option. I prefer to have the bikes behind me (well I have a van now 😉) as you have the benefit of being able to see them in your mirrors.

  • @p4ult1

    I really don't trust those mounts. I have been looking at options to get a roof rack on my car as I really want to start cycling some of the trails on my mountain bike. At my parents place there are some Thule roof rails but like the 1 series you have zero roof rack mounting sections. I have, however, seen some mounting points Thule make which clamp onto cars like your 1 series or cars with no roof rack clip points.

    Had a Mk2 Capri, bought a bicycle, got it in the backseat.
    Had to take the front wheel off to get it out.
    The girlfriend was much easier to deal with.
