Fiamma 2 bike rack opening boot?

Post by JackE »

I was just wondering if anyone opens their boot with bikes on a rack or if this could damage hinges or anything else?

Many thanks

I always have the bikes off, but then it depends how heavy they are. I doubt the struts would hold it up though anyway

I open mine with 2 bikes on the back but I have replaced the tired old struts with new ones. Never had any issues since.
