bike rack

Diagro · 17 Mar 2016 at 19:50

Hey.

I'm looking for a roof rack for my mszda 3. One that I can put two bikes on.
I can only find ones for one bike...
does anyone have any suggestions? Needs to be decent one so my bikes don't fall off. They were not cheap...!

Thanks all

+1 for this (I have the three bike version) just check compatability with your car

I'd be looking at these if roof racking. My bike was too big for the Thule, although still worked perfectly. These yakima are meant to be great for this generation of bigger bikes.

So this worked better with your Aeris? I "lost" one of my Thule ProRide 591s recently (long story), and the Aeris sat too far forward in the ProRide 591 so I'm looking for a better replacement.

If the Yakima Frontloader works with Thule bars then I may get one of those, but I need to do some more research on the ProRide 598 first.

I have a crappy little pajero now, so bike goes in the boot.

But Dan from Bird recommends these and say the Bird fits perfectly. Theres a thread on their Bird Facebook group about it.
