Tow hitch bike rack suggestions?

Post by Dimsum » Tue Jul 15, 2014 12:11 pm

Hi

Wondered if anyone can suggest a decent bike rack for the back of my E53?

It will have occsional use and will be used for 2 bikes. I have attached a few pics of my tow bar in case this makes a difference to the kind of attachment I need.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Ot does anyone have one they would like to sell?

I am not looking to spend a fortune!  :)

Looks like a lovely one but too rich for my blood!  :))

I have found this one so might give it a try. Can't go too wrong at this price.

well, u CAN go go wrong with the price especially if u start spreading bike parts along a motorway lol

i have this and loving it, have used many times.

there's also a similar Thule which i think is better but its a 3+1 as opposed to being a 4.

Halfords do a few worth looking at that are thule one is an Express 2 bike carrier fits on in seconds about £60 & another that fits behind the towbar so you can still use it £90 , they have 10% of sometimes so keep an eye open !
    Some one once said if you buy rubbish you buy it at least twice !
