Just wondering if anyone knows a decent bike rack for a mini? roof or boot.

[E.L.M.O]

Roof bars with roof racks. Pretty cheap from halfrauds when I bought them. Think It was a 50% off on roof racks weekend.

I have used rear bike mounts. The rear carrier works fine on my SPI. Carried the bike about 100 miles. But Used the misses mini and the thing kept falling off because her number plate light is loose, so the rack didnt sit well.

I've got a set of thule bars with the thule bike carrier with the spoiler etc. Its a brilliant bit of kit and is totally stable even with two DH bikes loaded up. I'll see if I can get the model number, but its on their website catalogue too.

My mate uses a standard roof rack for lugging his mini around. He takes off one of the pedals so it doesnt scratch the roof, other than that he says it works fine.
