Product Information
Full details
This Maypole Roof Cycle Carrier is designed for cyclists who need to transport a single bicycle on their vehicle's roof. Its key benefit is maximizing internal vehicle space for other gear. A caveat is that it's only suitable for narrow tube bike frames and requires separate roof bars. The carrier securely holds one racing, mountain, or touring bicycle up to 15kg, making it ideal for holidays and outings.

FAQs
Do I need to buy roof bars separately?
Yes, this roof cycle carrier mounts onto existing roof bars, which are not included with the product.
What types of bikes can I carry?
The carrier is suitable for one racing, mountain, or touring bicycle, provided it has a narrow tube frame and does not exceed the 15kg weight limit.
How much weight can the carrier hold?
The maximum weight capacity for a single bicycle is 15kg.
Can I lock my bike to the carrier?
An optional locking handwheel is available for added security, but this is not included as standard.
How do I clean the cycle carrier?
Clean the carrier with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents to prevent damage to the material.
Is this carrier suitable for electric bikes?
Generally, no. Electric bikes often exceed the 15kg weight limit and may have frames incompatible with the narrow tube design.
How many bikes can I carry?
Each carrier holds one bike. You can fit multiple carriers to your roof bars, depending on the bar length and vehicle roof space.
Troubleshooting
Carrier not fitting securely to roof bars.
Ensure the roof bars are the correct type and are properly tightened. Re-read the installation instructions carefully and adjust the carrier's mounting points.
Bike feels unstable during transit.
Check that the bike is correctly seated in the carrier and that the frame clamp and tire straps are tightened securely. Ensure the carrier itself is firmly attached to the roof bars.
Padded clamp leaving marks on the bike frame.
Ensure the clamp is not overtightened. If the padding appears worn, consider replacing it or using an additional protective layer (like a cloth) between the clamp and the frame.
Difficulty fitting wider bike frames.
This carrier is designed for narrow tube frames. If your bike has a significantly wider or unusually shaped frame, it may not be compatible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Maypole Roof Cycle Carrier is designed for easy installation onto existing roof bars. Ensure your roof bars are securely fitted to your vehicle first. Follow the detailed instructions provided with the carrier to mount it to the roof bars and adjust it to fit your bicycle's tire size. The padded clamp should be positioned to grip the frame without causing damage.
Compatibility: This carrier is compatible with most standard roof bars. It is specifically designed for bicycles with narrow tube frames and has a maximum weight capacity of 15kg. Please verify your bike's frame dimensions and weight before use. Note that roof bars are not included.
Care: To maintain the carrier's performance and appearance, clean it regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Periodically check all fittings and clamps to ensure they are secure and free from wear. Store the carrier in a dry place when not in use.
