Bike rack for Trident & Trooper
Got my eldest off her stabilisers so am after a bike rack for our 94 Trident.
Question is, do the Fiamma - or any other - ones fit? Does the ladder get in the way?
Any thoughts and experienced gratefully received.....
Thanks.

Hi Peel
When we got our Fiamma bike rack I wondered about the ladder thing. All you do is fix the rack slightly offset - towards the nearside like on this pic then you don't have to remove the ladder. We don't just use ours as a bike rack - If we ever go away without the bikes we put the drive away awning on it.

Hi
Looking to do the same with our Trident but when I asked Fiamma, they just replied it wouldn't fit. It loks OK for the sake of a few inches! Was it a struggle to put on?
Thanks.

Just position it slightly left of centre to avoid the ladder as the chap above says.
It's an easy fit: so much so that I have mine on and off regularly rather than leaving it permanently attached.

Yeh!! I'm a brand new member today
I joined in search of exactly the info that Peel has posted here - your photo has solved my concern re fit with ladder etc - thank you so much
We 'did' Cornwall last year, walking the coastal paths and cycling to and from 'Nellie' to and from start of our walks or beach or next village and of course the pub
Absolutely fabulous trip marred only slightly by having to stow 2 adult bikes in our dear Nellie!!
These AS + 4 really are amazingly Tardis like and Nellie never complained once - though he did!!

I have a T4 Trident and the fixings for the ladder on the back are working loose, anybody know what sort of plug to take the screws is needed . Thanks Matilda
