DaveJH Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 I have a sudden need to carry a number of cycles on a rear carry frame and want to connect an 'extension' board with number plates, rear lights and indicators (probably halfords type). Son and friends have just entered a triathlon without thinking through the logistics- "that's what the galaxy is for dad" My request is for advice on how to connect the electrics ( I dont want a permanent tow bar fitment). I guess what I need is a towbar type electric extension cable that plugs in somewhere like the nearside rear luggage compartment wiring, and can be rolled up and left in that storage compartment. Any advice please DaveJH Quote
MrT Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 If you get the Ford Galaxy bike rack you do not need a light board as the bikes are above the lights and they can be seen. It holds three bikes. Quote

Thanks Mr T - but I aready have a servicable Rhode Gear Ultra Suttle 3 bike rack from my Passat days which will hold the bikes but sits much lower and obscured lights and numberplates (it also obstructs rear wiper) but will be OK for UK use. Therefore any advice re wiring appreciated. DaveJH Quote
