Cycle carrier

After recommendations for a decent cycle carrier that fits on the rear.

I havent a tow bar or i'd certainly opt for one of those tow bar fitment types.

I want to transport two cycles.

Thanks TDV8 HST Sport **Current**

carriers

Hi, one of the best carriers i've used is the offering from Maxxraxx, used on my D3 to carry 4 adult bikes, bit of a juggle and you need to fold handlebars to get a good fit but its a great product, for two bikes it would be simple.
Not used on FFRR yet the only thing you'll need are slightly longer hight tensile M16 bolts to mount the plate to the multi-height towbar.

Not had any experience if you are sticking with the quick release towbar but i'm sure a helpful comment will be along shortly Wink

Not sure what fits,

I havent got roof rails and i'm not sure how easy it'd be to take off the roof as its so high! Laughing

I really am thinking of a removable tow bar just as the carriers are better Confused TDV8 HST Sport **Current**

What exactly would I need for the roof carrier Nigel?

I'm thinking it may be a safer option. TDV8 HST Sport **Current**

Do you have the square hole where the tow bar would slot into?

If so you can get a bike carrier that slots directly into this...
