OK Looking for a tow bar mounted bike rack

Needs to carry 2-3 bikes supporting wheels as we have some odd frame shapes
Ideally mounts to the tow ball rather than the 40/50mm box options
Secure
Sturdy
Cheap 🙂

try this from a few days ago - not sure if a conclusion though other than on the safety issue

usual pendle lovers - thule here and very happy as can put on back seat when taken off - price wise got off classifieds on here - a wanted probably worthwhile

Cheers

happy with the idea of tow ball mounted. A wanted probably wont work as post to Oz would be a bit too much...

1st choice is of course a van but that will take a little more saving

wondered why the link came up as thule aus - i'm in melbourne but brought mine with us 🙂

have a look at these people [url]cyclingdeal.com.au[/url] not sure if any towball racks but recently got some canoe racks off them which were excellent quality and came already assembled despite being cheap china imports despite appearances its a proper business with a warehouse and show room - nice guys (no relation)

cheers for that, some to go on. Basic deal seems to be spend more to get the 50mm box tow bar and save on the rack + have some more options 🙂

We got our thule rideon 3 for £100, not sure you'll get anything cheaper that fits your requirements
