Possibly saved lives today (the other day really, but to add dramatic effect I implied immediacy) by checking bike rack fittings only to discover the bottom attachment was completely loose with two largish coach bolts just sitting in the holes!
Our return trip from Druridge bay with 3 bikes on rack must have worked them loose. All tight with large rawlplugs hopefully holding fast, will test soon....and frequently.....has this ever happened to anyone else? I always look at bike racks wondering how the hell they actually work, especially the ones often seen on the roof of a car! Ours is on the slightly aged side too, bit like the driver I spose. ?
