2 questions.

1. How much to ship to Sydney

I have been looking at this as well

Hitch Switch lever tilts carrier away from vehicle for boot, hatch or tailgate access.
Reinforced tray provides maximum strength and rust-free protection.

For tyres over 3" wide the fat tyre kit 919 can be used (RRP $79.00).
Accommodates bicycles with disc brakes, thru-axles and other non-traditional frame designs.
Included Snug-Tite receiver lock virtually eliminates hitch carrier movement in receiver and locks the carrier to the vehicle.

Models: 918XTR – 2 bike add on.
Clearance from bottom hole out to upright is 44cm.

My mate is looking for a carrier and has a Niner RIP. He's a lazy/tight bastard and this would suit perfect if it would fit a Niner on it.
Saying that, it might still be above his budget!

Hi mate,

It will fit a 29er.
Shipping would be expensive but I may be able to get it down by other means.
Cheers

Final price drop to $350 otherwise I will keep it.

What does it weigh (wondering if my wife would be able to lift onto her car)

Does it not need lights legally (and number plate mount), or is that why it was discontinued in Aust?

 

[turns]

My wife can put it on my car no worries.
You can use a bike rack without lights legally in Australia otherwise the importer wouldn't be able to sell them.
I mounted the number plate on there easy.
The rack isn't discontinued. It is still on the THULE Australia website.
Cheers

Thanks,

My bad - thought I was on the AU website..http://www.thule.com/en/au/products...bike-carriers/thule-t2-2-bike-916xtr-_-916xtr



Thule must still have some stock here in Aust.

Will checkout the lights legality thing, not true they wouldn't be able to sell it - its not illegal to sell an item, otherwise many aftermarket mods for cars would not be sold in Supercheap, Autobarn etc. Also why these exist

http://www.rhinorack.com.au/products/bike-carriers/accessories/number-plate-holder_rbca011

....just not sure on the guidelines for QLD so will check. Most racks I've seen have lights


Cheers

From my limited research. Unless your lights are totally blocked by a solid object you do not need indicaters, brake lights etc. If you are driving at night you will need to illuminate the number plate somehow 100% sure on that one - people have siad they do this with cheap rechargeable kong style lights etc.

I bought the torp7 rack light bar and cable tied it on to my isi rack just to be on the safe side...

 

[turns]

Boxer,
I never used the rack at night but you would need a light board for night use to illuminate the Bike Rack numberplate.
These are reasonably inexpensive and i think THULE do one also.
Hope this helps
Cheers

 

[JTmofo]

This is a bargain. Unfortunately I don't need one,and my mate has other priorities at the moment,otherwise he'd grab this.
Light board from Thule is and little over $100.

 

[turns]

Thanks JTmofo.
Priced to sell.

 

[turns]

Now $300 cheers

 

[johnny]

Great deal, wish I lived closer.

 

[Boxer]

Yes getting very tempting and could bolt my own light board and plate holder on I guess. Just one more question with regards to the tilt action - I see it will tilt from vertical with no bikes fitted to allow hatch opening on the vehicle.....but does it also tilt further down when bikes are on board to allow the hatch to be opened when bikes are on board?

 

[turns]

Hi mate,
It only tilts up with no bikes and down with bikes by just removing the pin.
Cheers

 

[turns]

This is final price drop otherwise it will be stored away.
Thanks for all the interest thus far.

 

[Boxer]

Hi mate,
It only tilts up with no bikes onboard.
Cheers

Wait....A bit more searching and I found this pic - are you saying it doesn't do this however?



Must admit the Thule website doesn't specify this model being able to do it
