Hi all.

I’m looking to purchase a pair of roof cycle carriers for when we go on holiday in a few weeks.

I’ve never used or bought any before so some advice would be great!

Any recommendations?? Don’t want to spend a fortune, but at the same time don’t want any cheap tat. Would you say £50 each is a reasonable price?

Cheers

Steve

Just get a pair of Thule proride 591. I’ve had mine for years and they are one of the best around.

They have them for £75 for two from here – it’s worth spending the extra

We have that Thule they are the ones to get

Sorry they aren’t cheaper. With a bike over your head held in 1 hand simplicity is all….

I bought my Thule proride 591 from a Ford dealer. I think Thule has a deal with Ford and they are much cheaper than elsewhere. I remember I got mine for about £50 from Jennings Ford but just checked they went up to £60 now, still cheaper than elsewhere.

Found another example:

£119 for 2 + £6.95 delivery.

Or just walk in your local Jennings Ford and save the delivery cost.

I’ve had a couple of different ones but the Thule 591s are the nicest that I’ve had. Wouldn’t want to go back unless very strapped for cash.
