After this last trip we need a new bike rack, having the kids bikes in the boot just isn’t working anymore.
I’ve been using an older non adjustable hoop style 2 bike rack for the adult bikes and then popping the kids bikes in the boot. Now need a 4 bike rack.
Have a 50mm square hitch, so no issues there. But the one sticking point we seem to keep having is the kids bikes often aren’t tall or long enough to secure properly in the ISI type hoops.
Wife would love a fold down rack too so she can get access to the boot without unmounting it all.
No 4WD stuff at this stage (just a Kluger) but long term compatibility is welcome.
Thinking ISI after looking at the Yakimas at Pushys, but still haven’t seen an ISI in the flesh, and not being able to quickly convert it to a 2 bike carrier is a bit annoying.
Could also weld up a vertical rack, but not sure how the pivot would go, and not sure if I want the bikes higher than the roofline.
Suggestions?
