MTBer question!
Is it easy to transport bikes on the hannibal / front runner roof racks? Do you just strap the bike to the rack or is it easy enough to fit, say a Thule, bike carrier to the rack?

What? I sensed a mention of my name !!!

Warpigs write up is fab Thumbs Up

Another option which you could use .....
You could put these on the rack permanent, though you'd need put the front wheels inside, or on the rack...
The good thing about these is, they 'lower' the profile and look 'pro' Cool

Note to Martin....Sorry if I'm breaking rules, I do work for these, but I don't own it, so I gain nothing, I'm just trying help Forum members Embarassed

Odin, let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

odin - just check that if the bike rack is a front wheel removed type (as shown by greeni) that it is compatiple with disc braked bikes - some early racks weren't! Thumbs Up
