Hi, Merry Christmas Drinfinity and loving your work. You suggested on another thread you sometimes sleep downstairs in the van with bike(s?) in by pushing the bed forwards. Do you happen to have any pictures with the bed unfolded and a bike in the back? If I misunderstood and you just...

Have same issue with new bike rack on T6 transporter. 9 pin plug has worked well with box trailer no issues. Must be the LED lights on bike rack - all good for first hook up. Then after disconnecting showed bulb light warning, reversing camera worked intermittently, indicator clicking was...

Greased the bike rack clamp threads again.

Firstly, thank for all of your input. Decided to go for Tow Trust detachable with 13 pin electrics which i’m having fitted by a local firm (to me Oxford) next Thursday. So, will report back then………….now for the bike rack………

Bike rack on tailgate?

Barn door bike rack from @Gillyg46

There are a lot off variables though. How low is the van, how tall are the bikes, is the slot nearest the van empty...?

Sorry forgot to mention it is a genuine OEM bike rack https://www.t6forum.com/threads/tailgate-bike-rack-4-bike-%C2%A3480.50492/

Have you been able to install the Thule backup 900 in the VW origial bike rack?

I’ve got 1250nm struts and the tailgate works fine without the rack on. It opens normally but is a bit heavier to pull down the first 2/3rds of travel when closing it. I’ve only ever opened it with a single road bike on and that was absolutely no issue. I don’t open it with more or heavier...

Thanks very much for replying Quirky, We looked at ISI website and watched the video - they do look like they’ll do the business! I’m assuming you can access the back by dropping the rack down with bikes still attached? Your bike is also very nice, what is it? The information you’ve provided...

I take it the broken part you have there does not have any markings on it? If so, check on this thread Thule Bike Rack spares

For the first time, I had to use the tailgate rack when towing the caravan. No issues with manoeuvring unless it is a very tight turn (where you practically have to jack-knife!) I was disappointed that our new caravan couldn’t take a bike rack as our previous caravans did, but I’m happier using...

Having read various threads on this forum about covers for bikes on a towbar bike rack, I can see that there are differing views on whether they are a good idea. We have a T6.1 with an Atera towbar bike rike and later this year will travel from the south of England to Scotland and over to one...

Has anyone got a VW bike rack that might be knackered and has spare arms and clamps going? Could do with the longest one and mud length one, if there are any going?

Update - having done more research I was worried about the additional drag that would be caused. I called the Roofbox Company (who sold me the Atera towbar bike rack) and they advised that bike carrier manufacturers advised against using covers on the bikes while on a towbar bike rack as the...

Price drop for the bike Rack is now £30

No problem! Give me a shout if after weekend you find it will do the job!

Two used Thule 598 roof bar bike carriers. Both in good condition one does have some marks/scratches in the clamp arm due to peddle strikes. Looking for £100 for the pair plus p&p. Happy to sell as singles also. Collection from Near Marple, Stockport or Warrington/Mid Cheshire/Preston...

@BoroBoy Thule make the OEM Vw rack. Looking at the pictures @Garyf123 has posted they are the same ally bits - looks / dimension wise. The only bits missing are the 2nd & 4th bike carriers, but you can see where these would fit. If it helps - look at my OEM Vw 1 this weekend @ BM to compare...
