Hi can anyone recommend a 4 bike rear carrier for a Grand C max that isn’t towbar mounted.
Is that going to be rather close to the nose weight limit?
I've had a three bike, boot mounted carrier on the Touran. When they were kids bikes, we squeezed a fourth on.
It was a rebadged Thule Clip-On Pro / 9103 but from Halfords own brand.
It had metal attachment straps, and was the best thing about it. I had before that for a decade used 'soft strap' bike carriers. The metal straps and lever lock mechanism was so much more secure and much quicker to 'set and forget'.
Tips: helecoper tape the boot rim where it makes contact, and be prepared with 4 bikes on to actually bend the metal of the boot rim in use. I didn't have this, but a friend with a Mondeo did. I think for this reason there's no 4 bike boot mount racks out there.
Having been positive about it - the move to a towbar rack has been the same leap again in ease of use and security on the move. If there's anyway you can get a towbar mounted, do it.
Thanks. Yes think I will get a towbar fitted, was just looking to keep the costs down.
