Default Bike Carrying

Hi All,

I've posted about this but can't find the thread. I need to carry some bikes on the fiesta, someone recommended a clip on rack but i cant remember what it was?? Would it be possibly to get some pics of any setup's you may have?

As roof racks arn't an option, i was wondering about the ford towpack, has anybody used one to attached one of those towball carriers?

Any help would be great

Cheers

I've only just taken it off this minute. It's a Thule Clip-on 9130. It can hold 3 bikes & is very solid. No straps which can stretch. Costs about $200.

Thanks for the pic mate, greatly appreciated. How do the clips go with the paint and rubbing etc?

My mistake, 9103 it is. As for the paint, a few strips of body protection tape in the right place is hardly noticable. The hooks are plastic coated as well. The rear wiper is even still usable, handy when it comes on by itself.
