  1. Does anyone know where to get a 4 bike carrier to fit a late bay with no drilling required?

  3. Which model, and where can i get one?
    Many thanks
     
  4. The Famma will only hold 2 bikes on a bay.
    There is a Halfords one but you need a tow bar, this will carry 4 bikes. :)
     
  5. Has anyone come up with any inventive solutions to the fiamma leak problem with the upper part of the tailgate seal? Its not bad I know its just that it means I have to take off the rack in the winter!

    Cheers

  7. Tbh we use the fiamma 2 bike carrier for adults bikes, then for the kids I got a couple of cheap bmx which I put inside the van in the middle. Just have to remove the front wheels avd put Inside a large builders sack you normally get sand delivered in. :)

    Main reasons were I didn't want all the weight at the back of the van, and also wanted to be able to get to the engine.

    It's worked out pretty good so far. :)
     
  8. I think I will have to look into putting 2 bikes on the rack and 2 on the roof!
     
  9. we use a tow bar rack, ours takes 3 but you can (or could) get a 4 bike one made by Thule.

    the only problem is that you cant access either the engine bay or rear hatch when the rack is in place ... although ours can be tilted with bikes still on it.

    Given the way our rear suspension has sagged i'm not sure the back of the bus can go down much further regardless of how much weight goes on the back!
