I'd like to get a bike rack for the S (if such a thing exists)

Anybody know of one?

 

Thought of something totally different when i first read the thread title.

 

That was the idea

 

Got a saris bones myself others have used a kollywood a believe lots of previous threads on it

 

Hollywood sorry not kollywood

 

I do, was recommended to me off here, and used it while I had my S, and it works perfectly.

Around

 

I used a rack on the S this weekend for the first time. I just used my rack that I have owned for about 10 years. Adjusted the angle and it fitted well. Clipped the straps on the bootlid only (not the bumper) and the bike rested on it nicely with nothing in contact with the car.

Have you tried a standard rack to see if it fits? I was of the opinion that mine wouldnt but was pleasantly surprised!

 

Ooh interesting - I wonder if I still have my old rack in the garage?

Does the bike obstruct the tail lights at all?

 

Not if you remove the wheels, and if you remove the tools from the boot and let air out of the tyres they will fit in the boot

 

Havent thought of that? Never worried about it before, but assume that the front and rear wheels would obstruct it a bit. I drove during the day so wasnt an issue with lights and I would be very suprised if the brake lights werent visible through the spokes.

I'll put the rack and bike on the car when I get home and take a picture to show how it fits. I reckon most old ones will fit ok....
