Hi all,
I'm looking for a roof-mounted carrier, of the type that the forks clamp into, rather than it clamping onto the downtube.
Any recommendations?
TIA

I have a Thule 561 which I have been very happy with, untill I got a bike with a qr15 fork, the adaptor (a simple tube) from thule costs £30

Thanks, gab. I thought Thule may be the rack of choice (I have 591s at the moment) Just wondered what other choices there might be!

Thule 561 the only option at present
£30 for a piece of alu pipe for qr15 and i had to cut ot down to 100mm!

Thule 561 for me too.
doctornickriviera - do you have any of that pipe going spare as I could do with a bit - happy to pay for it

Doctor nick - not bolt throughs, just plain old fashioned QRs

There is also an atera one on roofbox.co.uk. i also have other atera carriers and they are fine.
Valley Daddy, Yes I have 1cm of aluminium tube you can have for £3.50 seems fair!!

Not feeling much love from THULE on this issue. I contacted their customer sercvices on the pricing of a piece of alu tube, but got the standard BS e-mail back. Fine i'll take me custom elsewhere in the future.

Presumably all your forks are out of warranty?
