Ah that's good, at least I now know the Halfords cross rails fit snugly. Just the bike carriers to sort.
One problem I realised when servicing the bikes this afternoon is some rather large frame dimensions which appear to exceed the spec of some carriers... annoyingly including the local cheap (so far) ebay ones. My bike's fine at a sensible 34mm dia downtube but the others are 63x38, 49x40 & 50x50 (first figure tube height). Are these typical??
Appreciate the total weight thing... no fancy lightweight stuff here so issue may arise. If needed one bike could go in the car with its wheels off and the other three on the roof. Actually that would help the tube size issue as it's the small teenagers one that has the daft 63x38 tube.
Cable tie idea noted.
