    Just spotted this on ebay.

    It seems most of these racks are pretty similar, any recommendations from the good folk on here?
    Anyone seen or used one similar to that above?

    I'm only looking to carry one MTB, so not gonna have too much weight on it.

    I had something similar (Paddy hopkirk brand perhaps?) for years, did the job just fine. Carried 2 mountain bikes on it many kms.
    Just make sure it's all tightened up OK before using it!

    I have one similar at the moment as well.
    Does the job fine.
    My only concern is that although the bike can be locked to the rack, the straps holding the rack onto the car can be cut.
    It just means that the bikes wouldn't be secure overnight attached to the car.

    thanks for the feedback guys.

    Don't think I'll be leaving it overnight on the car - it will make it easier to just take it off the car & put it back in the house rather than having to pull it out of the boot & put it together first. :)
    Will also make it quicker to get out on the trails when arrive at them.
