I need the above but I'm not sure which one to go for. I'll need it for 2 bikes and im not wanting to pull the bike apart so that it fits.

The cheapest I've found is halfords at £99.

Anywhere else I can look???

The Thule one is bloody expensive. Nearly £200 iirc.

Does anyone know a site like CS dedicated for mountain bikes???

I presume you have the roof bars already?

Which car is it going on? For the Fiesta, Ford make proper roof bars which actually mount into the gutter rather than the clamps which go around the door frame. In the kit you get 6 pieces of rubber which replace the existing 1 long piece each side. The 3 bits are seperated by the roof bar clamps.

Unfortunately with the Fiesta's, even if you go for the ugly clamp around bars it is in expensive solution! Almost as much as a tow bar. Only advantage is you can take it all off and sometimes it is vehicle transferable if you're lucky.

Try these guys for the configuration of what you need:

Or the Thule website itself.
