Apologies if this has been discussed many times before. Currently having a van converted, and looking to put a tail gate bike rack on. Aware of the discussions of up-rated struts (to around 1250N). Also aware that the door can become difficult to control if no bikes and rack on with this type of...
Just thinking about the fiamma 2 bike barn door rack...
Are they any good? Does it knacker the door hinges having a couple of bikes on there?
It states in the spec not recommended for e-bikes but mine plus my daughter's bike should be below the load capacity of 30kg.
Anyone using one with...

I finally got round to purchasing a bike for my t5 era bike rack, shamefully taken me 3 years. I have run into a problem. As I unwind the knob to open the clamp jaws the threaded rod, which is fixed into the knob, unscrews from the bolt in the frame attatched plastic assembley. Should the...
Hey! Newbie here.
I’ve got a T6 SWB camper conversion on order. I wonder whether anyone has experience of transporting a road bike in the gap between back of front seats and the back seats.
It’s a pretty standard configuration conversion and was hoping to fit my road bike in there when...

Thanks!

PS. Thule have sent an interesting reply to a separate query about towbar bikeracks to say:
"We cannot recommend our towbar mounted bikeracks for vans as they are intended for normal cars. Vans usually have a longer wheelbase...
...takes less than 5 minutes to fit to the van. Purchased in February last year, only used twice and in perfect condition.

Hi all, I have a Thule Wanderway 4 bike rack and only need it for 2. They sit really high on the T6 so never easy on uneven ground to attach the top fixings. I have removed the outer 2 rails so I can climb under to fit 1 bike but it really has to do the second. Has anyone cut down the frame to...
I'm selling my bike rack as I've not used it since I got the T6.1 which has a spoiler on.
I dismantled and sprayed this rack and forgot to spray the interlinking 4th clamp which remains silver.
I haven't actually used it to carry bikes since.
Will come with the security/ torque tool and keys...
Hi all, I have a Thule G6 929 3 bike rack with 4th bike adapter.
Its been great for years but kids bikes getting bigger and my new bike and I'm having problems.
With 4 bikes when I tilt it all the weight is now ending up resting on the pedals of the 4th bike - far from ideal. Van is standard...
Hi Everyone!
I was looking for information about how to carry bikes with me on my T6, ofcourse I started with the Search function and there is A LOT of information in all the different topics.
I am dutch, therefor apologies for the grammar which might be incorrect. Feel free to point it out...
I can’t be bothered trying to squeeze 4 bikes onto our rack and rarely need to so there are going spare.
Just the shorter wheel holders and the little clamp to hold the frame.
The holders were powder coated for me but I never refitted them, includes the mounting bolts. The clamp isn’t powder...
