Pendle Wheel Support - 3 Bike
More about Pendle

Average Rating: 4 out of 5
No. of Reviews: 2
RRP: £190
Year: 2006

Description:

Will fit almost every vehicle with tow bar fitted (please refer to our fitting guide).

Bicycle wheels are supported by D-loops attached to main frame of rack and each bike is held separately in its own support.

Individual vertical arms separate bicycles from each other in order to ensure non-contact between bikes during transit.

You cannot tow with this particular rack because of its platform style design.

Weaknesses:
Heavy and a big cumbersome to fit first time but soon mastered

Overall:
Brilliant rack.

'EXCELLENT RACK. '

Strengths:
You can 'fine-tune' the fit to suit your bikes due to the way you assemble it.
Cheaper than the equivalent Thule rack.
Great for cars with the spare wheel on the rear door.

Weaknesses:
Not easy to store or put in the boot when out riding due to fixed upright arms.
(IMHO these could be made detachable as they are not weight bearing - Pendle please note).

Overall:
A Thule rack wouldn't fit my car (CR-V). The Pendle rack was cheaper and better, as it is easier to slot on and off the towbar & you can adjust the position of the wheel supports and uprights during assembly.
Holds the bikes well as the wheels slot into the frame rather than just sitting on it.
