Our new (to us) tandem has a longer wheelbase than the old one, and our trusted Pendle rack is completely rusted up so can't be adjusted.
Current alternatives look to be far more expensive, plus the rack did just what we wanted.
So we're in the market for a new carrier, ideally a Pendle one if if anyone has one gathering dust

North Oxon for us, not far from M40 J10. I don't visit Cheshire much anymore, I'm afraid.
I know where the rack is, worth me looking it out?

Re: Tandem rack for roof bars
That's how I carried my tandem but only a single ladder not a double .
I secured it to the roof bars with toe straps.
