## Description

Thule Velocompact 13-pin Platform Towbar Bike Rack Black/aluminum, 2 bikes : desertcart.co.uk: Automotive

Review: So much easier than roof bars! - I’ve been sceptical of tow ball racks for ages but finally took the plunge. Wow this rack makes life so much easier than before! Initially I had to take the time to work out which bike goes where, especially as we have big mountain bikes which have awkward frames. This took me about 45 minutes to work out but after getting it right and taking a few photos, I can fit the carrier to the car and put the bikes on in 5 to 10 minutes. The carrier is super solid on the tow ball. The bikes are super solid on the carrier. The tilt function is brilliant and allows loads of room for boot acces. I have wide bars but there is loads of room between them and the car boot so no need to rotate them. However it is necessary to put some padding between frames in certain places otherwise you could end up with some rubbing or paint damage. My only observation is that the arms could be a inch or so longer to give a slightly better reach if fitted at any angle other than at 90 degrees from the cross bar of the carrier. This would also allow for slightly better bike spacing too.
Review: Poor design, light fitting easily broken. - When I received this item and unboxed it I found that one of the rear light fittings had broken off. It is only secured by a small piece of plastic that is very easily broken if the heavy carrier is set down on its corner during transit. I returned the damaged item to desertcart and ordered a replacement. When it arrived the light fitting was broken off in exactly the same way. I have returned it to desertcart as well. The light fitting is very poorly designed and likely to break off if the carrier is set down on the lights. No wonder this item is now heavily reduced as it is a poor design and likely to be replaced soon. Do not buy.
