Car rack

[lecabnoir]

I bought this car rack today and I have to say I'm more than a little annoyed. My bike is a small mans Boardman Race but the frame is too small to fit!!! I assumed all adult bikes fitted all car racks.......maybe not eh.

So, what in earth do I buy now??

Hi David, I'm going to take it back to Halfords tomorrow.

Thanks smokeysmoo, I'll check that one out. :-)

Ive got the roof mounted as well.

Had a rear mount a few years ago that fell off (luckily at low speed) because the clips failed.

Bloody hell Peteaud, not good. I did consider a roof one but I'm only 5ft 1/2 inch and my car is quite high so I'd never reach.

I'm using roof carriers too. Got a Mont Blanc and a Thule.
In both cases there's a wind down frame clamp.
