I swapped a squllion messages with one bloke and didn't twig because his grammar and punctuation was on point. It was only when he asked me to hold the bike till x-mas as he was expecting a lot of money from his relations (nanna).I would have thought the major casualty would be the fingers worn to stumps after constantly typing " If you're not serious just jog on mate"
It wouldn't be straight forward to attach a square receiver to that tow bar. If you had the gear, you could weld one on but if you didn't hand had to pay someone else to do the job, it's probably not worth it. Not sure if it's just the angle of the shot but the mounting plate for the tongue looks like it is angled upwards, and you really want a square receiver sitting pretty level.would appear to me that mine is the first one. not sure if the two bolts can be undone to place a square receiver. open to any recommendations, would of course be nice to keep it in that 500-800 region but happy to spend 1500, not that i want to but when it comes to transporting bikes if it ensures something decent it's worth it.

nope your right. it angles upwards.Not sure if it's just the angle of the shot but the mounting plate for the tongue looks like it is angled upwards, and you really want a square receiver sitting pretty level.
How would this work?or better still, remove the ball and mount where the ball was located.
Was mentioned to find a rack with an adaptor as part of the design but not sure what racks have this. Given i'm not a huge fan of roof racks and replacing the towbar is the nuclear option I'll look at using a rack with an adaptor as part of the design or if not too much messing about take your option of removing the towball and mouting where the ball was.1: Find a rack or an adapter to fit either the ball
I have seen some old-style racks that bolt through the hole where the tow ball bolts through or even use the tow ball like a bold to attach the rack.How would this work?
Either of those would be a massive upgrade on what I carry my bikes around with!I have seen some old-style racks that bolt through the hole where the tow ball bolts through or even use the tow ball like a bold to attach the rack.
A rack like below is a crap way to carry a modern mtb but I hope you get the idea of how this is mounted to you tow bar.

yeah that's how my current one attatches except its a platform design and weighs 90ton.I have seen some old-style racks that bolt through the hole where the tow ball bolts through or even use the tow ball like a bold to attach the rack.

They're all pretty compact racks, so it depends what bikes you're carrying. You'll need to be good with Tetris to make modern MTBs fit with wider pedals (ie big platform pedals) wide bars, long wheelbases etc. Not impossible, but a bit more faff when loading/unloading compared to a newer rack like a Kuat NV 2.0 or Yakima Stage Two, for example.Tongue Hitch (for GS-Urban/GS-Urban+) | GripSport

Yeah, and they’re all needlessly expensive…They're all pretty compact racks, so it depends what bikes you're carrying.

Sure. Mines not a backyard rack though - just an adapter piece to neatly attach one thing to the otherWell they're not expensive if people don't have the skill set to fab them up themselves, or aren't willing to risk the implcations of a backyard job dropping bikes on a public road at high (or low) speed. I've seen some excellent home made racks out there - and some nightmares. Same for production racks as well, to be honest!

But is it the weak link though? I remember a few months back someones rack failed catastrophically because they had either welded an extension on or bought an extension.Sure. Mines not a backyard rack though - just an adapter piece to neatly attach one thing to the other
