Looking at something like https://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/r...i_rack_940_006/Qx@w,6M42VAwp3@Rb{~cC4ure7yaYo or https://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/r...er_proride_598/Qx@w,6M42VAwp3@Rb{~cC4urewxvE2
Almost £100 difference between the cheaper Cruz model or the Thule. There is a cheaper Thule model around £65 (as opposed to £30 or £110). Initially I was set for the more expensive Thule one as when you pay more you get something that is longer lasting, works better and is probably easier to use/setup. But I don't think i will use it much so what's wrong with the cheaper one.
In the past i have transported by taking front wheel off and putting in back of car, but always worried about knocking something on the bike out of alignment or scraping the car. Would normally be used for taking bike to bike shop, picking me up in emergency or have just had enough or (not done this yet) to drive somewhere and bike round somewhere new (i.e. bike 70 miles to London then drive home).
The more I think about it, the more i think the cheaper one will be fine, thoughts?
