    OEM rack recently professionally powder coated matt black. Been used once since (my MTB has really fat tyres which don’t fit the tracks properly!) comes with everything it left the factory with, instructions, wrench tool & spare keys. Stands me around £700 so would like most of my money back...

    OEM Tailgate Bike-Rack - available in black

    I couldn’t find another post on this yet. I’ve seen a few T6s recently with the version 2 of the bike rack but in black. They look rad and would go nicely camo with my black T6. AFAIK, V2 is the one with the wider frame. Here it is in silver...

    Will a T6 Cycle Rack fit the T6.1?

    Hi Everyone. I have just bought a 2021 T6.1 Campervan and want to fit a black Genuine VW4 cycle carrier to the tailgate. I have been told they only make the genuine VW rack in silver. I really would like a genuine VW rack and wondered if the black T6 rack will fit a T6.1? Has anyone fitted a T6...

    Mounting recovery boards to bike rack

    Made up some simple brackets to secure my recovery boards to the bike rack: I’ll still use a tie down to secure them but at least having the locking fittings it should slow the thieves down a little. https://www.toolstation.com/stainless-steel-threaded-bar/p45452 Thule THUL5 526010...

    Wheel carrier & back-box on bike rack?

    Anyone had a go at converting their own bike rack to carry a spare wheel and peli box? If so what did you use? I like the look of the HESS system just think it’s a bit expensive for some airline rails!

    Black bike rack

    Bored during lockdown? Bike parks closed? Why not take your old rear bike rack apart and have it powder coated? I did mine, took the painters 4 days to turn round and cost me £65. A weekend either side for disassembly and assembly, nice upgrade.

    My modified tailgate spoiler to suit a bike carrier

    I have a Caravelle Exec which I upgraded to from a sportline styled T5.1 Kombi. I love the new bus but as I have the seats I can’t have bikes inboard...therefore use the OEM 4 bike rack. I’m not a fan of the tailgate without a spoiler - it’s a little boxy in my opinion. I wanted a spoiler but...

    Bike lift for rear e-bike rack

    I’m looking for some kind of bike lift to assist in getting heavy bikes up onto the rear tailgate mounted bike rack. I’ve seen fiamma and Thule versions but they are only for motorhomes from what I’ve seen. Has anyone come across such a Lift?

    Uprated gas-struts for bike rack weight

    Hi all, Well.. yesterday collected T6 camper! Still smiling and excited for the adventures to come! It included the VW 4 bike holder for the tailgate model which is the Thule Wanderway (I think). Once installed the struts are not strong enough to hold the tailgate and rack combination. I...

    VW T6 Bike Rack - max wheelbase?

    Does anyone know the max wheelbase that the genuine vw T6 bike rack will take? Trying to work out if I can get my new Enduro bike on it at 1275mm and 29" wheels. The Thule Wanderway is too short. Fiamma Pro might just fit but the V2 genuine VW one looks to have longer rack lengths though from...

    Bike Rack Security

    I've decided to get a bike rack and am deciding between the Fiamma carrybike and the VW one. The Fiamma has the advantage that it is only a 2 bike rack and therefore a bit smaller It will carry 1 emtb (and sometimes a small child's bike) but I can't see how it or the factory one actually attach...

    Hi All, Another Bike Rack Thread! I'm looking to put a bike rack on my T6 tailgate. I've had a look at the Fiamma Bike Rack (link below). They have a kit for 2 bikes that you can then upgrade to take 4 by adding rails etc. Does anyone know how easy it is to get 4 bikes on there? It looks...
