Tandem carrier for roofbars

Teresa Matten2025-07-25 16:58:26

Newish to having a tandem , Visually Impaired cyclist road racing, time trialling, velodrome and triathlon- cant fit tandem in car! Have been lucky enough to borrow a pendle roof carrier which needs to be returned shortly so trying to source our own roof mounted carrier. 
Has anyone got a suitable carrier they would be willing to sell please? 
Thank you.

Good Morning

We have a tandem roof carrier and hydraulic lift which we no longer need as we've just sold our tandem.  It attaches to roofbars and is adjustable for different length tandems.  You don't have to take any wheels or parts off the bike, and as it's hydraulic, you don't need to worry about the weight.  One person can operate it easily on their own.

We are in the Clitheroe area (BB7).  Will accept reasonable offers.

I know you were responding to Teresa's appeal for a tandem roof carrier, but if you do not sell it to her I may be interested. I live in Bingley so I could easily come to view it.

Regards

Stephen Cook

Hi Chris, thank you so much but i think we will need to pass on this particular one.  Hopefully it will be suitable for Stephen? Really appreciate your time and input on this.

##still looking for a carrier if anyone else has one available##

I have a roofbar carrier for a Periscop tandem which is available free in London W5, as the new owner (Wheels for Wellbeing) doesn't need it.  It would need a lot of modification to fit a normal tandem but if you have access to a metal worker it might be possible to adapt it.
