Very pleased with mine - carried four bikes to the Alps last summer with no problems. Had a three bike carrier before this one and was equally pleased.
They are (or seem) a bit lighter than the Pendle ones but they are more than up to the job (and a bit cheaper!)

Steve, are the bikes held in place well enough, not liable to move around etc?

and probably twice as good! The adjustable wheel supports and top tube straps are far superior. Very fast to secure bikes. Had the three bike one for about 5 years and still going strong.

bikes are nice and secure - the arms onto the top tube and the deep trough for the wheels ensures there is little or no movement

I've got a Tradekar 2 bike carrier and that's been going strong for at least 4 years now. Bit rusty in places but it's seen plenty of miles without too much TLC.

Half the price of some of the Thule ones, picked up a Thule ride on 3 bike carrier for just over a 100.
