Hello. Just watched your video. Was wondering if you still use it and still happy with it. Iv got a Skoda superb and was thinking of getting one, it's a very long car and with that on the back was wondering if it would still be ok to drive about. Four bikes on the back must be some weight on the back
@MackVentures Жыл бұрын
Hi! Yes we are still happy with it and still use it, but not as often. 4 adult bikes is quite a weight but the rack and the van can handle it, thankfully!
@markbifferos2765 Жыл бұрын
I also worried initially about the weight, but.... manufacturer of the tow bar will give the max trailer nose weight. I'd assume there's a relationship between the max nose weight and the weight carried with these racks. Interesting thing is that most of these carriers specs don't reference the nose weight or any other features of the tow bar, so they must be OK for practically any car. Maybe this is because nose weight forms a vector with pulling force For my car max nose weight is 100Kg (and it's not that high), and un-braked towing load is about 750Kg. Consider the vector combining those two forces... I think, that's plenty enough for 4 bikes.

We have re assembled it every summer since. So we have just had our 3rd summer with it. It is still in excellent condition and feel it was a good value purchase. We use the filter that came with the pool and I test and treat the water with chlorine.

Cracking video - now thats put me right in a pickle - I've said no to a train from Lauterbrunnen to Zermatt at about 4hrs each way... but I think this video might get me some heavy persuasion once my wife watches it - or we'll end up doing a day or two over that neck of the woods. Our plan at the mo is upto 10 days in Lauterbrunnen, grabbing a few overlapping rail passes and leaving the van setup and hitting the trains/funiculars and maybe gondolas hard.

Hi! Was looking for a pool to do tethered swimming in and this has answered my question - brilliant. Can i ask if your son can do some free swimming in it as well ie can he do a breastroke before reaching the other side of the pool and if the depth was a little shallower could he still swim in it do you think -its just that theres a used one available thats a 85cm in height so its a little shallower so was a bit concerned - am only 5ft8 though ? Also how often do you feel you have to run the pump to keep the water clean ? Am guessing the water costs are around 25 pounds to fill it ? Cheers
@MackVentures3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comment. You can’t do any free swimming in it as just not long enough- Only tethered. My sons 6ft and I’m 5ft 4. When the water level dropped a bit (from the splashing) even my fingertips occasionally brushed the floor so the deeper the better. We tried to run the pump about 8 hours a day- sometimes daytime and sometimes evening. We’re not on a water meter so not sure of cost to fill it but it took about 5hours. Hope that helps you 🙂
@peterfreer11553 жыл бұрын
Out of interest would you recommend this - did it get a lot of use? How often do you have to change the water? Does the cold water out you off.
@MackVentures3 жыл бұрын
Definitely would recommend! Generally it got used 4 times a week. You don’t need to change the water, you just need to test and treat with the chlorine etc. I bought a pool treatment kit and it came with all the instructions and chemicals. When it was cold my son wore a wetsuit but when it was sunny and warm it was fine.

Hey just wondering if your rack sways on the ball? Just picked this one up and can't seem to get a tight enough lock on the ball that it doesn't swing around with little effort

Maybe you haven’t opened it wide enough before placing on the ball. Try open it really wide, put on the ball then give it a wiggle before tightening it. Ours doesn’t move at all when fitted correctly.

Yeah....that wasn't it - there were two sets of instructions in the box. One looked like a duplicate, then I got to the end of the build and saw the tow bar insert in the box. Probably should have paid attention at the start! Thanks very much for your response nonetheless.

Is this same as the one in your video? www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-racks/towbar-mounted-bike-racks/halfords-4-bike-towbar-mounted-bike-rack-548658.html 2. How do the indicators work? Is there a cable connector? 3. The piece which is already stuck on the back of the car, is that included in this rack or needs to be purchased?
@MackVentures4 жыл бұрын
The Halfords one looks very similar. This is the actual one we have... www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel4_tab.php/all-products/buzz_rack_bb4_4_bike_wheel_support_rack_no_brp324/Qx%40w%2C6M4PHS%2CZGenkQvENM%2COgo There is a cable in the bike rack that connects the indicators to the vehicle. You just need to make sure you have the electric socket at the rear of your vehicle next to the tow at. I don’t fully understand the last question. Do you mean the actual tow bar and electric socket in the vehicle? If so then you have to get that fitted separately if you don’t already have one, it’s not included.
