bike rack

[haGGard]

Hi,

Is the puma able to use one of those bike racks that go over the boot? Or is it not possible due to the angle of the rear window and it might put too much presure on such an angled window?

Cheers

no not at all,only option is to get roof bars and bike rack for them......

Totally agree do not get a rear bike rack regardless of what Halfrauds will try and sell you! I got a Thule one on Ebay. Go to http://www.thule.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and look for the application for the puma, you will need quite a few items (not just the bars). I then noted all the relevant items and searched on Ebay. Managed to get all the bits including aero bars for about £80 all in. I will be fitting them this weekend and I can PM you a picture if you are interested?

Let me know how that goes as well! Me and the good lady have both started to bike and we both have pumas

Not the ideal combo!

Did take a while to get all the bits on e-bay, was especially pleased with the aero bars look alot better than square ones and the bike carriers fit nicely.

i immagine a bike rack like that can put quite a bit of stress on the wheels as you go round corners?
