Chaps looking for an easy to use/attach/unattach bike holder that will carry 2 adult bikes.

I appreciate loads on the net about specific models but just interested if anyone has a good one that they use and its easy with the Fabia II.

Comments appreciated.

Thanks

Thule do a good one, i'll find it for you... expensive but best out there imo

Oh, they do the roof rack mounted one or boot mounted, both useless at helping save mpg but you need to be taller for the roof one

Thanks Ad Lav, look forward to your update.

Yes Boot mounted one is what I am looking for (i am quite tall but dont fancy the roof one)

cheers

The middle one, 9104 - a friend has it and swears by it - having put it on and off for him I can say its easy peasy

I use this company for the guide and my local place for buying as willing to negotiate...

Thanks Ad Lav, just checked it out. Looks good to me and not too expensive, will try and shop around. Planning to get one for the summer so will let you know how i get on.

Cheers the quick response.

I can vouch for this one as well my dad has had the same one for about 4 or 5 years now still comes off easy enough and still solid. Its a bit of a push to fit three full size mountain bikes on but can fit 3 road bikes no problem

I got one in Halfords a few years back and it's good for three bikes (up to 45Kg inn total). Cost was about £60.

It clamps on to the tailgate and is reasonably easy to fit, but great care must be taken to avoid scratches. No good if you have a roof mounted spoiler unless you can remove it (was easy on my Mk 1 vRS)

I ordered a towbar for my new car so now looking to get a suitable rack and budget is about £150.

Got the 9104 for my octavia, a good rack once assembled. The instructions that come with it are poor so was a pain to assemble.

Thanks guys, looks like the 9104 will be the choice of choices.

Appreciate all the responses.

I use a Saris Bones 2 bike carrier. Used at least once a week on my Monte, absolute doddle to use. Super light and easy to handle. Just another option...

Does the Thule rack work OK over the VRS spoiler?
