towball mounted bike rack

Would it be complete rubbish?

Hi Wallace - we have a towball bike-rack but its looks nothing like that one - we got it from halfords & it cost about £60 i think - however it takes 3 bikes & its really great - very easy to fit on (even i can do it) very secure + bikes fit on it easy as you dont have to lift them high in the air - hope that helps

Thanks, that does help.

Can you still open your boot?

I would buy a Halfords one!

We purchased a cheap one first time and it fell to bits. Biggest load of rubbish. sad ( Like the ones on ebay).

Our Halfords one is great and solid. grin

The one at halfords is out of stock, but have found it elsewhere.. The thule ones are cheaper than i realised so will be going for one of them.

Just need to think how many bikes we need to carry...
