Looking at a caddy and was wondering if anyone used one for moving bikes around?

Ideally not wanting to break the bikes down if possible..

Cheers in advance!!

Thanks... what bike was it out of interest?

Plenty of room for other stuff or pretty cramped?

You think Id get 3 bikes in plus kit?

THanks very much!!

A large Giant Glory DH will fit in with wheels on easily, a mate has a Caddy. If there are 3 bikes and riders, we take my T5.

Yes and yes. Iron horse sunday, when I had it, it went in fine. Two bikes, built are easier to fit in on the angle - i.e. back wheels in opposite corners of bulkhead, with front wheels together at the back - if that makes sense. I use custom made clamps to keep the bikes upright with a bungee to keep the front wheels together. With 3 bikes you'll probably need to break one down. Plenty of room for kit in the gaps. But er but you'll be very, very lucky to get one for that price. Mine was 2nd hand a few years ago now and twice the price then - albeit an immaculate one, which has been brilliant and I would totally recommend them.
