Fiamma cycle rack

Post by onc onc »

Anyone fitted a Fiamma cycle rack. I fitted one of these today, bloody had to hang of it to get it to clip under the tailgate. Am I doing something wrong or are they always a bugger to fit?

Were you trying to hook the clips over, or did you undo the clips, hang it from the top, then fit the clip to the bottom...?

If you can clip it on with the clips in place, then it's "straightened" slightly, and can/will unclip in use.

Adrian C, yes I hung it from the top then attached bottom clips loosely and then had to hang all of my weight off it to get it into position to get clips to clip into position. Just seemed like hard work to get something to fit that is designed to fit this vehicle.

The new one I had was easy to fit, is this one new or second hand? If s/h perhaps its been bent.
