Toppy Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hi all, I have just ordered a new mountain bike & I am looking for some advice & info on what type of cycle carrier you would advise on getting. I have had a look at this post from Steve & he has done a great job on adapting his cycle carrier to suite. http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/46800-rear-mount-bike-carrier-with-zetec-s/?p=283624 I have a 62 plate metal & my first thoughts were to get roof bars, but I don't like the idea of having to remove the plastic trim to fit these to the car. What's everyone else using as a bike carrier & would you recommend your set up, especially with the spoiler that the metals / zetec s have. Thanks Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weescott Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I depends if it's going to be a regular thing or not. If not then a £30 lidle job will probably do. If You want something a bit more substantial look at the Saris Bones, an alternative is the Mont Blanc range. Good quality and cheaper than thule. If your bike is worth the annual wage of a family from Dundee, get a tow ball. Bike roof racks are bad! The wind/rain eats headset and it kills fuel efficiency. Plus it can be a pain to load/unload your bike(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
