What Bike Rack Do You Recomend For Towbar
- Thread starter andythom188
- Start date
Alot of that is waffle would prefer to hear what ppl have.
looked threw most of the posts , i have a westfalia detatchable towbar, westfalia rack sounds like it catches on the locking mech, thule 929 sounds good and can add locking system.
I have a Eufab Premium 2 plus on my Westfalia detachable towbar and the tailgate easily clears when the rack is tilted. It is also rebadged as Bosal Traveller 2 Plus and Pro-User Diamant SG2. This rack has been designed for T5/6
I have a Thule rack, can't fault it. Had it about 8 years, will carry 3 or 4 bikes. On my towbar though, it won't tilt enough to open the tailgate. If I plug the bar in from the wifes car that's about 100mm longer then I don't have a problem. 
Now this is more like it friendly help on the forum thank you lads keep them reconendations and info coming in
I seen yours at bala looked a good one m8I have a Thule rack, can't fault it. Had it about 8 years, will carry 3 or 4 bikes. On my towbar though, it won't tilt enough to open the tailgate. If I plug the bar in from the wifes car that's about 100mm longer then I don't have a problem.
I forget how many times I’ve posted this but here we go again. (There are pics in the thread)
I use this for my two bikes
Atera Strada DL hands down. The three bike version is guaranteed to allow a tailgate to clear.
Tried all the Thule stuff I could plus others..
None came close

Well thank you for posting it again just for me

Hmmm posting a link to a thread with all the info you asked for isn’t helpful???
Not my fault that you couldn’t be arsed to sift through the waffle ( is tha what interested parties posts are called?)
Anyways my post above is my best shot, even though you seem to me to be a tad ungrateful, life’s too short.
I suppose it depends on whether you have a tailgate and want it toopen with the rack on.
BTW my Towbar is a westfalia removable, but I think that they do 2 types. Details in the pics.
I had read threw the waffle even before you had posted it just wanted peoples opinions , no need to be negative this is a good forum and no need to be arsey , i have not replied with nasty comments as im not a key board warriorHmmm posting a link to a thread with all the info you asked for isn’t helpful???

Westie removeable towbar, Thule 941 for two bikes, very good but you can't open the tailgate even with it fully tilted.
Its not that much of an inconvenience, with 2 bikes its almost as quick to drop the whole rack...
though four bikes might make it a bit heavy...
Dont forget the pipe-lagging on the inner handlebar!
The Strada rack looks brilliant, I read all the threads but somehow missed that one.

I will have a good look at the altera strada dl that oldrat has recomended
By way of explanation only ..
I took umbrage at your earlier comments after I’d signposted a possible solution.
As a mod on several other forums I know how things can’t get misinterpreted hence why I continued with more info.
Best wishes, no hard feelings - I hope that you get your rack sorted.

I have the Westfalia detachable tow bar and I use the Thule Velocompact 3+1 bike rack.
You cant open the tailgate with it on, but thats no biggie for us.
A big plus for the Velocompact, ( other than how easy it is to put on bikes of all sizes ), is how little space it takes up when not in use.
Easy to put in the back of the van when out and about and doesnt take up much room in the garage l.

I have the Atera Strada DL as well.
Seems very good so far and yes it does clear with bikes on.

Sorry for this question but Can the bikes lock to the carrier and ball hitch ?
Working away at the moment up north wales and signal is shocking so internet is like dial up so takes forever to load google
