Bike rack
Thule VeloCompact 927

Great bit of kit but pain when fitted to a 90 , it was difficult to get in and out of back .
I've now gone back to the original spare wheel rack.
It seemed to be great idea at first but after using it in anger I find old rack much
also you will need either an extension plate or alko hitch as it won't fit normal ball due to
Bolt heads foul on hitch. Also rear wheel causes a problem with first bikes position.
Again you can buy an extension to make it work but that's more money again , so you
End up spending £500 for bike rack , As mentioned before I've now swapped back to old rack
So it's no longer available, and I've sold Thule rack to neighbour who's fitted it to thier car
Which has a tail gate and prob what it was designed to fit. Have fun be happy
