Hi Guys,
I know this isnt a hot topic on here but ive had a good search on here and see that a fair few people have gone down the tow bar bike rack option but cant find a answer to my questions.
Ive been seriously into Mountain Biking for about a year and a half now and its starting to annoy me putting the bike in the back everytime especially when ive got a mate with me aswell.
Obviously boot racks are not an option and roof racks are just a pain.
So a tow bar,
Car is a 05 pre face lift Ibiza Fr TDi, the one with the smaller bumpers but if i have to cut the bumper a bit im not to bothered.
I see Bosal Tow bars are a popular choice, would this one be the right one:
Bosal Tow Bar
Id rather not have to fit the electrics so would go for this RACK if it would fit onto that particular tow bar? but is it a MOT or legal requirement to fit the electrics? i know i would be covering the lights and number plate with that particular rack but a boot mounted rack would anyway and i have no where to store the larger euroclassic ones.
Total price for the tow bar and mount is around £160 as i will fit it myself, from reading peoples old posts this seems a bit to cheap?am i missing something?
Thanks for the help
