Hi all,
Has anybody got any recommendations for a bike rack that attaches to a swan neck tow hook? Looking at alternatives.
Regards
Mark

Lovely thanks for that. No issues with swan neck as in no extra bracketry, just fits straight on?

Re: tow hook bike rack
At the cheaper end of the market, I've got one of these-
works fine as long as you pad the ends of the handlebars, but needs a trailer board as it hides the number plate and the bike wheels hide the lights.
not as nice as Paul's but cheap and effective. Just clamps to the ball and never moves.

yep, as you see I have a swan neck too, but fits all tow bars, single bolt clamps it on, very secure, doesn't seem right but it works

Re: tow hook bike rack
I've got an older design Buzz support-from-the-bottom 4-bike rack, and can highly recommend (and it's compatible with a swan neck). Looks like they changed this year, so while I can't comment on the newer ones, would expect to be equally good. I paid a bit more and went for the tilting one, means that you can open the tailgate even with the rack fully loaded - which is handy!
Purchased here - they do a 90-day exchange too incase you run into any problems.

Hope that helps,
