Could anyone recommend a bike rack please (for two bikes) or a type of design that works well for a T25? I have a tow bar if they're any good?

Thanks a lot

Paulchen is the nicest i think
you can see it here, ive used it as a shelf for storage by removing the bars for the bike wheels. so is a pretty good multipurpose thing


The other is a fiamma, and can really only be used for bikes, seen here on my old 2WD



having owned both, i like the paulchen, they are tricky to track down and cost around £100 second hand, fiammas are easier to find and cost around the same.
As for towbar ones, loads about, i have one from halfords

You can get a Fiamma rack new, or a second hand Paulchen. Both work really well. I've got a 4 bike Paulchen and I love it.

Why do you say that.I have carried all sorts on mine.

Anyone used a Halfords high level bike rack?

This came with the van and sits on the tow bar. I can't find a manufacturers name on it.

Seen plenty of vans myself with other things than bikes on the rack

Didn't realise it was such an emotive subject I publicly retract all comments on fiamma racks, stack 'em high with anything

we just use a halfords adjustable rack - think its a Mont Blanc...cost under £40, and easily adapts to T25 as well as my everyday cars. Down side is you need to remove to open tailgate, but I can remove in under a minute so its not the end of the world. we have even used it before to carry our "wet" awning/windbreak etc

Aye. Stick to changing brake pads

i'm trying to branch out, online nonsense advise, i reckon it will take off

Thanks for all the comments and advice

I think I like the look of the towbar mounted one, as having an Auto-Sleeper high top, there is a ladder on the back and it looks like this might get in the way of the other designs?

Anyone used one of these?

It's so cheap it makes me wonder if it's really up to the job?! Maybe worth a punt anyway at that money....

It looks very similar to the one i have. As you can see in my photos it fits onto the plate behind the ball. When it's slotted on and fixed into position and locked it's very sturdy.

Thanks , Ive ordered one. I reckon at less than £15 including delivery I can't go too far wrong whatever!
