I used to use a Pendle three bike jobby - the one that bolted to the tow-bar plate, not to the tow-ball.

Worked fine, light board integrated. Only stopped using it as I changed cars and couldn't get a towbar fitted to it.

Currently sitting in the shed doing not a great deal. If your interested, drop me a PM.

Hiya, (noob - today)

I have the Thule 9503, looked at most of the other ones within a reasonable price range. Fits kids bikes, old single pivot sus bikes and various others with wierd frame shapes. I've modded mine slightly to have another mount for a small kids bike.

It does allow you to lean the bikes away from the hatchback, but not quite enough on my little Merc A class. Got mine from Halfrauds for a 100 notes.

Cheers

Pendle now also sell a tilting version of the ever reliable wheel support rack. I've used the old wheel support for years and it is brilliant. Only let down by restricting access to the boot. New design gets around that - http://www.pendle-bike.co.uk/shopping/T ... e-Rack.php

Thule.

Best prices online are usually from www.skidrive.co.uk & www.roofbox.co.uk

Witter make a simple sturdy design that I have used and we sold in the shop (back when I worked in one). Not too expensive either.

my mate uses a maxx raxx or something similar, pretty cool, but pretty wobbly. Works ok on a 4x4.

Personally, the bike is worth way more than the car, so I've taken the back seats out so it can go inside. .
