Bike carrying solution for defender

[dullbird]

Hi guys

is there anyone out there that has a defender with a swing away wheel carrier that has found a bike carrier to carry bikes?

I have the a frame type carrier which slots over a bracket on the tow hitch...which doesnt clear the wheel carrier.. we went and bought a longer tow tongue the other day and it still doesnt bloody fit

Pics would be really good if you have come up with other solutions

how much more space do you need to clear the wheel.......?

IVe seen the shovel adaptor that bolts under the spare wheel modded to take a bike clamp.

I have something like this..

4X4 SPARE WHEEL MOUNTED CYCLE CARRIER LAND ROVER JEEP | eBay

two bikes just.

very similar concept to the one I saw but IIRC the one Im thinking of had a single box tube with the frame clamp.

Something like this ? This carrier mounts in the center of the spare wheel, utilises Thule cradles and 'no sway cages' to prevent the bikes from swinging back and forth, and it folds up. Can be made to take 1, 2, 3, or 4 bikes ................

Cheers, Murray





Can also be seen on the back of Daniel's (Mulgo) 130

Yes please, one to take 4 bikes will do nicely.

FWIW mine go on top.

I wouldn't trust a top tube holder with mine, (they are old now, but top end frames and the replacement cost would be too high) so they are secured by the fork and rear wheel on roof bars.

hi rigidij, i assume the one on your dual wheel carrier is display only otherwise the bikes would overhang

DB, the only thing you will need to watch with a swing away carrier is when your door is fully open, i.e the bike wheels make contact with the back f the car
