 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
I have an XC60 and have 2 kids in the back.
I could put the ski seat down in the back but fancy getting the skis on the roof via a magnetic fixing.
Do these stay on at 140kmh.
And do they make alot of noise?
thanks
Tim

Plus they have a big impact on fuel consumption at that speed. I always try to get them in the car if I can.

Plus the stuff they put on the roads to prevent ice is not good for skis or their bindings

LOL! If yer motor only does 30MPG there wouldn't be much impact and you wouldn't notice the euros.

Your skis will be black with road sh-t and it gets everywhere - IMHO - don't do it

I'm not an aerodynamics expert but I'm guessing that it disrupts the airflow (containing lots if grime) over the car - only ever tried it once, but cleaning the bindings was a b--t--d.

^^ I've only had skis on the roof from Lyon down to BSM. I guess the whole way down would be a bit different.
