Ebay - i've got friends with these, they are brilliant and take no space!

Would that not need a spacer or rear wheel removed to work?

I wouldn't have thought so as the widest point is the handlebars so the pedals can be rotated etc?

Just a thought, do you have a tow step or a flush towbar?

Just a standard flush tow bar.
Alot of the carriers struggle to get past the spare wheel.

How about this as an option? Although a lot of effort....

Pulled this from the article further through... You might need the 30cm

And expensive! Only want a cheap one to carry 2 bikes.
Gonna end up resorting to a spare wheel carrier which I didnt really too with the extra weight on the back door!
But thanks for your ideas Thumbs Up

Hello

I already have a great Thule rack which can fold down so I'm considering this to clear the spare wheel and make it usable...

pricey but as I already have the rack its man maths, plus an extension bar on a new drop plate would be a few quid...


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281733297804?_tr...EBIDX%3AIT


with the cheap carrier posted above and this it would work. How many bikes do you need to carry?


I have this one on my old car I would like to use.

Hello


I inquired about the 20cm bar.... this is part of the reply.

We do have stock of the 20cm, price is R469
Courier to UK is quite expensive due to the weight of the item, you’re looking at about £55, delivery 4-5days.


Add to this a new drop plate as would not want a 20cm bar fixed sticking off the back ready to attack your shins.. so another £40 / £50


Then the e-bay link seems reasonable...

If the 1st one would at least wrap you could arrange a courier? parcels to go, It would be around £12


The second one being Witter will be good as they have been around years.


Both I guess you would need a light board so another £20
