Cycle Rack Woes


 I wanted to fit a cycle rack so we would be able too both explore the local area / pubs / restaurants/ shops etc but, I wanted to take my time and ensure that all that I did was safe - I didn’t want the rack dropping off as we drove down the road!

I use a great forum to gain information  https://www.motorhomefacts.com/forums and I had sought advice there - here is a recent reply to my own post with some added pictures:

Having taken the advice to heart as in where the strengthens parts of the rear frame were - I emailed Laika with the details of the motorhome and sought assistance.

in time honoured dealer fashion (I remain very cynical after Ducati used to charge thirty odd quid for a bevel belt that actually turned out to be a fiver pound Renault twingo fan belt….) they would only tell me that the original design spec was for a Fiamma Carry Bike L80 and I would need to talk to a Laika dealer as they don’t share the specifics with mere mortals….

Pausing only to sup some ale and swear - some phrases in both Italian and Latin to satisfy the Laika gods - I emailed a UK based dealer - just too see….

in the meantime I did a search for the Fiamma Carry Bike L80 and blow me down - turns out that there is a specific Laika version of that Bike carrier.




it also had instructions on how to fit - and when I read those - I found the answer I had been looking for….

so, will be getting the trusty set square and spirit levels out, with some masking take and pencils


A good days work - Especially as Leeds won :)
