BACK DOOR MOUNTED BIKE RACK

Post by HI 75 »

i saw a hinged bike rack that bolts through the spare wheel on the rear door,& folds out of the way when not in use,its not the one that hangs from the tyre or the toe bar mounted unit.it looks like it mounts the same as a high lift mounting bracket to the spare tyre bracket??
anyone seen this, where can i buy one.
cheers

most good push bike shops have them, around the $100 mark.

alot of it depends that your spare wheel sits central

these are tow bar or low mounting,the one im talking about bolts to the frame thats spot welded to the skin of the rear door,in between the wheel studs for spare tyre...it only comes straight out from the wheel frame.

Personally would not do it to any car. these mounts are only designed for the wheel and the extra weight let alone the distance it would hang out from wheel would damage the whole shebang. Havn't you seen how those racks wobble when loaded? mount one on tow bar or go roof rack.

there's several on the market
thule is the $$$ and quality
gripsport do a decent job for not so much
on the patrol your wheel sits too far to the side to use them (i'm guessing thats you car in you avatar)
