Hi
New to this forum and waiting for my peugeot 3008 and i would appreciate any advise regarding a rear mounted bike carrier or even the best bike carrier that fits the new 3008 as i cant find one anywhere.
cheers moggyno1
In terms of the best way to carry a bike it would go in this order
1. Tow bar mounted carrier (uses less fuel)
2. Roof mounted carrier (more fuel used than rear mounted but more secure in terms of safety and security)
3. Rear mounted carrier (cheapest option but the least secure and scratches paintwork)
I've gone with roof bars and the Thule proride 598
I've had rear mounted carriers in the past and I was constantly pulling over to check/tighten the straps. You also can't leave you car unattended whereas on the roof it's that much more difficult to get at and the Thule 598 locks the frame to the carrier.
If I had to go for a rear mounted carrier it would be the Saris Bones 3.
