There was a thread on here a few months ago with details of bike holders some American guys had made for the back of their pick ups out of plastic piping – looked really clever for what it was.
Quite what the word to use in the forum search to track it down, I have no idea……
If you don’t mine taking the front wheel off then
Look on crc I had a transit connect swb and got a qr
Bracket that skrewed to the van floor good solid hold by the qr
Just slot the forks in like yourputting the wheel on then fasten tight!!
Where are you based? I have the first model of the Minoura Vergo – doesn’t look as ‘nice’ as the one shown above as mine looks a bit more industrial – it works for 2 bikes with front wheels off and QRs…I believe 15mm and 20mm adapters work on it. It sits in my garage doing nothing…if it is of any use, I’m more than happy to sell it on…
The version I have is a double version of this –
– except it doesn’t have the wee stabilising leg as the rack is twice the width and very stable…if this is any use to you let me know.
Holyzeus – I had three bikes in mine so had to take front wheels off I had two pointing inwards behind each seat then the other one I pushed in backwards down the middle with the forks at the back doors! and the wheels hung on the sides of the van!
i think this was done with a £30 stand from halfords, i guess you could cut it down further to fit or for less bikes etc. So, same as your link for one. maybe you could fashion something that could make it easy to remove if necessary
I think I know your sister and Brother in Law: Alice and Adam?
Anyway, my mate has made a really good stand to clamp the front forks.
He got some old hubs and some sheet MDF. The whole thing is cleverly attached to the car by threading through tie down straps which are then threaded through the cargo hooks in the floor of the boot (scenic)
The bikes go infacing out, rear wheel on, front off (obviously). I’m planning to get round to making one.
Let me know if interested and I will try and get some photos off him.
