BIKE RACK

Franky:
Hokay, im looking for a bike rack that doesnt mount onto the spare wheel of my 90. n e ideas where i can get one???? cheers!!!!!!!!!!  :D

Sharpshooter:
I think halfords do one that goes on the towbar?? :?

graham2306:
try www.droponcarriers.co.uk  only problem I have is spare overhangs the carrier when on the towball because my spare is on a swingaway mount.  Not sure you would get four bikes on it with a Land Rover door mounted spare, but doubt any ordinary towball mount carrier will fit with spare on.

alaric:
The best one I've found is the Maxxraxx, which mounts on a plate behind the towball - so you need a tow bar to fit it. It's very solid even with 4 bikes on, and has a ratchet strap sytem built in and a lock cable.

It's much easier to put on and take off than one with loads of straps, and also breaks down to a couple of bars for compact storage.

The only drawback is that it needs a top tube to hold the bike - if you have a non-conventional bike frame, you may need to buy a false crossbar (Clamps to the seatpost and steerer tube) for about £10-£15.
