| NOT SO MUCH TECHNICAL.. WHAT DO I NEED TO.... |
|
Attach cycles on to my expedition roof rack?
I have not long bought my Disco 3. It came with an expedition ?? roof rack.
What do I now need to buy to put 2 cycles on it.
OR
Is there a better method using the towbar but bearing in mind I will have two dogs in the back that will need to be let out every hour or so to stretch their legs...
Much appreciate any suggestions..
Thanks.
BTW the bikes are quite heavy Dutch/Japanese bikes that my wife may struggle to pass them up to me.

You have a Discovery now. No need to get on your bike to see the countryside.

I used to have a Thule towbar mounted bike rack which could be folded down with the bikes almost horizontally to allow the tailgate to be opened but never used it with a Disco so you would need to check it out. Displaced Yorkshireman.
