which fits fine.
There is a rear mount for a light, but you need to buy either a light designed to fit a carrier, or a mounting bracket. Cateye produce a rear carrier mounting bracket which fits all their rear lights, and is available from Wiggle for £2.39.
A year on
The rack has been faultless in use - my bags clip on, they stay clipped on, and they come off at the end of the journey. The rack has stayed put; nothing has loosened or broken off. To be honest I don't really notice it is there - which when talking about racks is a good thing.
Once set up, taking the rack on and off is a breeze - undo 4 bolts and off it comes. Because the top stays are firmly bolted into position - you can just bolt the rack straight back on again. The rack does appear to have enough adjustability to fit a wide range of bikes - my wife has also ...
Advantages: Chunky, engineered product Disadvantages: Alas heavy, bulky to store and readily corrodes
My parents used to own a big bike shop so I got to try out all sorts of interesting gear (they usually charged me for it, but I guess thats how they stayed in business). When I started needing to move some pricey mountain bikes on motorways and stuff I wanted a real secure rack - in all senses of the word.
The strap on racks were just too easy to pinch and the roofrack isnt ideal on the motorway if you are in a hurry (or want to use a multistory carpark, carport, or garage anytime) Many bike trail parking spots also have height restrictions to keep out vans these days, making bikes on the roof a pain.
The rack:
The Pendle wheel support rack is a modular system made of (mostly) painted steel pieces that can be assembled into a strong and readily lockable construction. Its 'engineered' rather than pretty but once the bikes are ...
Advantages: Bikes are well supported in their own wheel holder Disadvantages: Large rack to store when not being used. Can't tow at the same time
I had previously used a twin arm bike carrier but found difficulty in mounting lady's bikes as there is no cross bar. I recently bought a Y frame bike and couldn't safely get it on the twin arms. As this bike cost a good deal, I decided to invest in a better rack. I chose the Pendle because it seemed very sturdy and included a light board. This fits securely on the end of the rack. I previously had to bungee on a lightboard and this never seemed to sit well. I carry four bikes and each has its own slot with a vertical divider to separate it from the other bikes. One disadvantage is that you can't tow at the same time so I have to use the other rack when I tow the caravan and take the bikes. It is also a bit cumbersome to store when not in use.
I would certainly recommend this rack if you have expensive bikes and want to ...
