Bike rack and noseweight.

[Irishrebel]

I have found a bike rack that fits onto the towbar while leaving the ball free to tow.

Part of me thinks that if the towbar is being loaded with the weight of the bikes, this should be counted as part of the car's noseweight allowance.

Another part thinks that the load is distributed back over the tailgate of the car, and not out beyond the towball, so would not affect the noseweight. Any thoughts?

If the weight of the bike rack is carried by the towbar then it counts as part of the noseweight allowance.
