INNO Tyre Hold 2 INA389

INNO’s Tyre Hold 2 rack is a beautifully designed and easy to use bike carrier from Japan’s market leader. The bike is held only by its tyres, so no part of the rack touches the bike frame or cables – making this rack the ideal, and often only, option for bikes with carbon frames, or for non-standard shaped frames that don’t fit a standard bike carrier. It's the ideal way to carry carbon framed bikes with non-standard forks or disc brakes which won't fit in a fork mount carrier.

Fitting your bike to the rack is incredibly easy: Open the arms, place your bike on the carrier at which point the bike rolls into the front wheel holder and is self-supporting, allowing you to use both hands to finish the job. The rear wheel holder applies gentle extra pressure on the tyres as you press down the lever and lock it.

Other features:

• Takes a massive range of wheel widths, from skinny racing tyres right up to a maximum of 2.7" tyres.
• Takes tyres between 20” and 29”, including 650B tyres.
• It's suitable for wheelbases between 85cm and 120cm
• Maximum bike weight: 23kg
• As well as the locking rear wheel holder there's also an additional cable which you can use as a second 'bike to rack' lock, or when out cycling, as a second rack to roof bars lock.
• The arms fold flat when you are travelling without a bike.

This carrier fits around bars up to 90mm wide by 30mm deep, so it will fit all our CRUZ bars. It fits the Atera steel bars and Thule SquareBars, the 'INNO long bolt adapter kit' (listed below) is required for Thule Evo WingBars and Atera aluminium bars. Unfortunately it doesn't fit to Whispbar/Yakima bars.

This carrier is part of our "Pick and Mix programme", where there are discounts for multiple purchases of any of our roof mounting bike carriers, and you can mix cheap and expensive. For example, order one 'Tyre Hold', a cheaper Atera GIRO AF+, and a Thule 532, and get the cheapest price on all of them. Change the quantities in your shopping basket (and press "Recalculate") to see what happens! This carrier is priced as low as £159.95:

• Include 1 = £179.95 each
• Include 2 = £169.95 each
• Include 3 or more = £159.95 each

Exchange scheme: Roof mounting bike carriers are part of our 90 day exchange scheme. The bottom line is that if you aren't satisfied that the "INNO Tyre Hold" fits the bill you can exchange it for an alternative roof mount, or a tow bar bike rack.

Delivery charges and arrangements:

We charge a contribution towards delivery costs, depending on what you order, where you live, and how quickly you want the goods.

For most UK addresses, the charge for our Standard three to five day service is £6.50 (£14.50 for orders including a roof box) and our charge for Express Delivery (one or three days) is £9.50 (£19.50 for orders involving a roof box). AutoSock, shoe chains, RUD i-Sock, and small spare parts, are charged £3.95 (Royal Mail Tracked), £4.95 (Royal Mail Express Tracked) or £5.95 (courier, usually Express Delivery).

There are different charges for any delivery including a sea crossing, and deliveries to Skye - we will contact you with a quote on receipt of order.

Orders for Express Delivery need to be received by 4pm.

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday.

What about Next Working Day delivery? 
We have offered a reliable Next Working Day service for well over 20 years but, due to the pressure on the couriers caused by the coronavirus crisis and the huge increase in online shopping, we can no longer be confident about the delivery date, which is why we now call the service ‘Express Delivery’.  Many Express Delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, but some will arrive on the second working day, or be split between these two days. So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can, and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.

Payment options:

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".

Deciding which bike carriers to buy is not always easy, especially as you may not have had experience of using bike carriers before. We hope that our buying guides provide useful guidance about which bike carrier 'strategy' will be most appropriate for your circumstances, as well as highlighting the best features of particular models. We also have troubleshooting FAQs - for example, some customers struggle at first to fit four bikes onto a tow ball carrier, and wonder whether a different carrier would allow the bikes to be spaced wider apart. (It won't, but we have some good tips which make bike fitting much easier.)

Our bike carriers Exchange Scheme covers roof mounting and tow ball mounting bike carriers only. Rear door mounting / strap on carriers are not included, and nor are roof bars. It allows you to exchange within 90 days of invoice date. Most exchanges are for roof mounting upgrades, or are tow ball carriers with very basic tilting systems being exchanged for easy to use sliding / tilting carriers.

These are the rules of the bike carriers Exchange Scheme:

• You are allowed one exchange only.
• The original equipment must be in "as new" condition, subject only to fair wear and tear.
• The replacement items must be different models from the originals. Not just an alternative colour.
• The replacement items must not be part of a package deal or be from our Bargains section.
• Roof bars are never part of the Exchange Scheme.

This is how the exchange scheme works:

• We charge in full for the replacement items, including the appropriate carriage charge and a charge for any packaging needed for the return of the originals.
• We pay the return carriage costs.
• When the originals arrive back here we refund you for their invoice value, but you won't get back more than the invoice value of the replacements. In other words, if the replacements are cheaper than the originals we won't be giving you "extra cash back".

Please note: we can only collect items from mainland UK.

We offer our existing customers a full "Next Day if possible" spares service, and will cannibalise new stock as required to find you the parts you need.

To find the spare parts you need, please see the diagram below, identify the product codes, then choose them from the list below. If you need more than 1 of any item, change the quantities in the Shopping Basket.
