Cycle rack???
« on: January 25, 2009, 10:02:12 PM »
Can anyone me out there help me please as I'm stuck as to what 3-4 capicity carrying rear mounted cycle rack is suitable for my 07' Jazz?  The Halfords one I have claims to fit but doesn't.  All its done is scratch the paintwork!  I rather not go down the route of towbars but will if that's my only opinion.  Cheers all.

Just some thoughts - please consider the weight of the 3 or 4 bikes on the back of a Jazz, I have carried up to 3 bikes on Volvo and Subaru estates and they made the vehicles less stable.
I always put our  bikes into the jazz the car can take 2 full sized easily with fr wheels off.

When I watched the Tour oF Britain last year all the team cars had the traditional roof carriers making bikes safe & out out of reach.

According to the car manual it states ' a normal bike rack must not be fitted to the tailgate'

Thank you all.  Advice heeded.  On the roof they go then, if at all.  Thanks again.
