I guys, I've recently bought a mountain bike and hoping to take it on holiday with me, I'm just a bit worried about a Bike Rack for a Hawkeye with spoiler.... Is there a compatible bike rack out there? Or any advise from anyone who carries around there bike would be really appreciated, I'm away in a few weeks so need to act fast if I want to take it... Cheers.

If you've got a towbar then go for a Thule one that clamps onto the towball.

I'm currently piecing together a thule system. Yours should be the same fitment as the WR1 I'd imagine. So fitting kit 1210, 754 feet, 127cm bars (there's a few choices), then I think there's a few compatible bike holders. There is a fitting guide on the thule website. Can work out pricey though, so I'm grabbing parts as they pop up on the bay.

Didn't realise how expensive the bars are, then the price off the rack on top.... Will look into it.. Thanks guys for your help.

I picked up a towbar and electrics from one of the breakers on here for £65 delivered. Then I bought an Aiston bike rack to go with it which is brilliant and about half the cost of a decent Thule unit.

For me a solid towbar mounted rack was the only option I would trust. Plus it doesn't murder your fuel economy like a roof mounted system.

This web site. Roof bars and bike carriers are the best way to carry bikes and minimise the risk of damage to your car.

I have these carriers fitted to aero bars with the T-track adapters. Been excellent. http://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbv...~cC4ure%60JRMa

Have a look at P F Jones in Manchester - i got a Thule roofbar system for my hatch from them and they were the cheapest by a long way. They have an ebay shop as well and often have deals on the full system.

A warning about roofracks: I fitted a 'universal' one to an old scoob of mine and it crushed the roof. If you do go for one make sure it's specific for the car.
