bike, custom bicycles and lowriders Pendle are a company with a long standing reputation at the upper end of the bike carrier custom bicycles and lowriders marketcustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders Top of the range is the wheel mounting rack which will take three or four bikes depending on the model you ordercustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders Because of the weight of all the bikes custom bicycles and lowriders and the not inconsiderable weight of the rack itself, it's imperative that you check the 'nose weight' of the car in your manual to see if your car can take itcustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders Basically custom bicycles and lowriders the four bike rack needs at least a medium family car to support itcustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders The mount for the swan neck tow ball is as solid as they come, this is definitely a custom bicycles and lowriders 'ground zero' bit of kitcustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders It bolts securely around the tow ball with four huge stainless allen bolts and requires a large torque wrench for proper fixing (add this to the price custom bicycles and lowriders of the already expensive rack if you like, but it's a useful piece of kit for maintaining your bike as well) custom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders You also need a fair sized spanner for the nuts custom bicycles and lowriders but if you're going to leave the mount on the car you could easily borrow these toolscustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders Two long L shaped poles of almost scaffolding strength drop in to the upright custom bicycles and lowriders mount tubes and protrude an alarming length from the back of your carcustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders They are secured with a long pin which makes that job an easy onecustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders Next the adjustable (telescopic) custom bicycles and lowriders wheel mounts are slid along the poles and these are interspaced with uprights all of which are secured by allen bolts that clamp on to the surface of the main polescustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders Finally custom bicycles and lowriders the lighting board is pushed on to the end, secured in the same way and connected to the tow ball lighting socketcustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders You will also need a new number plate which are custom bicycles and lowriders around £8custom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders The beauty of the system is that the supports can be arranged such that the boot of the car can still be opened to get at your gearcustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders custom bicycles and lowriders Any shape or size of bike is also accommodated, and the rack doesn't therefore limit your own, or your mates choice of frame shapescustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders This is a major pluscustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders The bikes custom bicycles and lowriders have to be arranged alternately facing left and right, they are further secured by tough, quick release nylon straps (a bit like toe straps) custom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders Our favourite large 2.125 inch free-ride knoblies custom bicycles and lowriders are a tight fit in the D mounts and those downhillers with really large tyres may need to let out some air to squeeze them incustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders When the rack is loaded custom bicycles and lowriders it does bounce smoothly as you drive at speed over hump back bridges etccustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders This is quite alarming at first but as long as the main bolts are properly secured this is custom bicycles and lowriders the safest way to carry your bikescustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders When you arrive at your destination the bikes can be lifted straight off as soon as you have undone the safety strapscustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders The rack custom bicycles and lowriders can be removed in one piece once it has been assembled for the first time and this is the way I use itcustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders This is perhaps the ultimate bike carrier, there is custom bicycles and lowriders little chance of losing your bikes (except in a rear shunt.) but this has to be compared to the regular wrecking of roof mounted bikes on car park height limit barrierscustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders It's custom bicycles and lowriders a good investment that should last many years, highly recommendedcustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders Long term test update: The rack is lasting well after a year, it's important to grease the multitude of Allen custom bicycles and lowriders bolts which hold the supportscustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders Mine have rusted, but after greasing function perfectly wellcustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders Forgetting to insert the safety pin is a disaster waiting to happen, however the rack has done custom bicycles and lowriders 300 miles on mixed roads like this without bouncing offcustom bike, custom bicycles and lowriders
