Title: Roof bar cycle carriers
Post by: ade on September 09, 2014, 10:26 AM: We have decided we are going to go to the Grill n Chill show in a couple of weeks, but we are going to have issues getting our bikes to the show, I have a set of roof bars for my car for but no bike carriers.
Obviously the BMX are very precious ;) and I want to buy good carriers for the roof, but what ones to buy? Any advice please?

They work well for bmx and mtb.

Not sure of quality but they look ok and have a lock too.

Might get a set myself

These are em........for some reason they're only 15 quid in store near me.
