geejay Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I am looking to buy (or borrow) a decent towbar mounted 4 bike bike rack for our hols to France. Ideally i am looking to buy a Thule 903 or 909 or 929 (with 4th bike option added) for sensible money ... i've been watching ebay for a while now but no sellers will set up a courier and i dont live / work near any of them to make collection a sensible option. If i cant buy one then i'd be looking to borrow one for our hols fom 14 - 28 August. Can anyone help?? at present on eBay there are ones for sale in Colchester, Hereford, Chester Le Street near Newcastle and Plymouth - i live near Reading! Thanks for any help!

XTR2Turbo Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 As an aside - 4 bikes and carrier is a lot of weight on the tow bar so be sure to check your max nose weight. On a Landrover it will be 150kgs but on some cars it is only 50kgs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
