    Hi Folks,

    I was looking at Bike racks for the car when it dawned on me that one of the bikes is the young lads Raleigh Chopper.

    Does any one know if this will sit safely on these racks, Boot mounted not Roof mounted.

    Thanks in Advance

    people really don't have much patience, what has it been 7 hours?..... bit quick for a bump


    Anyway, i presume no one who's been on since has that exact bike, but most boot mounted bike racks are really just to padded steel poles that come out you put the bike on and strap to the rest of it. So if the bike's top tube is long enough so the 2 supports can go in the frame it should be fine....

    Yes I've fitted up to three 1970's raleigh choppers on a boot mounted rack, I think the frame sizes are roughly the same size as the modern choppers so there should be no problem. One of the boot rack bars has to fit between the seat post tube and rear mudguard.
