Cycle rack on 2003 Clubman Forums

jabber

When I bought the MH I had Marquis fit the fiamma Pro C cycle rack as recommended by Autosleepers.

I have not used it yet and wondered if anyone with one has used it with two Mountain bikes and how it performed. Did it effect the handling, any problems with the rack, what did you use for security whilst travelling and any other comments.

Many thanks for your time!

There are quite a few Clubman owners with bike racks in ASOC and they dont seem to have any problems,
My own is on an Executive fitted to towbar and I cant tell any difference when its on to when its off. I do go OTT on the straps on the bikes though,
I loop a cycle lock / strap through them to the towbar to increase security. Suppose it wouldnt take too long to cut with decent cutters

We have two OLD racing bikes on the back

You can tell by the FEEL if the load is too heavy (from several years driving vans) it feel as though the tyres are soft

but check on a weighbridge against the max allowe d load
