Ford Focus CMAX bicycle racks? I have a Ford CMAX 2005 and want to buy a raised rear 3 cycle rack bike but have not been able to find a suitable installation or brand anywhere, (not mounted on the roof or hitch mounted ).
Cheers, any advcie would be great.
THULE Check, they must have something, and then Ford, but I guess you've already done.
You should be aware, however, that the rules on the rear bike racks have changed in recent years that the license plate (registration) must be visible with bicycles, there are two basic strategies for producers Rack: A solution of tow-bar, with a support beam for the plate and lights-up, just like light trailers, or High-mounted one.
The first is probably better (lower center of gravity, better aerodynamics and load capacity) and more expensive, it is cheaper, flimsier, impairs visibility and rear can interfere with the wiper arm ice.
There is also a French car accessories chain (Norauto, http://www.norauto.com/) that sells all kinds of bike racks (and probably others in the United Kingdom), with Hopefully you get what you C is looking for.
Also consider eBay - people do not change cars and most bicycles are media-specific model, as can be made with almost new media and delighted to make you pay a fraction of what you'd pay for a brand new. Is bulky and heavy, it may be convenient to look for yourself, if the seller is a comfortable driving distance.
