Bike fits with ease!

[BLITZM]

Next time I go I'll give it a try. Had a bad wreck on today's ride so I'll be out for about a week. A 29er may be tough especially if you have a hard tail frame which normally have a long seat tube. As you can see on mine it is a pretty low and slack frame with a dropper post for the seat, so that definitely makes the packaging easier.

No probs man, when you get a chance. It is a hardtail Epic but I'm also not fussed if I need to remove the seat post - prefer doing that then the back wheel.

Do the rear seats fold down?

Yes

Might even be able to keep rear wheel on. 7" travel Medium frame trail bike...

I have a Specialized with 26" wheels. It's a Camber FS, not sure of sizes.

It fits when I take off the front wheel. But to make it fit with ease and lay flat I take off the seat post and the pedals. Bought a pedal wrench just for that. It only takes about 5 minutes to take everything off.

I still think it's a bit of a hassle compared to bike rack I had on my jeep but I don't want to use a strap carrier, it left marks on my 2006 GT I had.

Hoping someone comes out with a hitch for the 2015 Mustang soon. Then I will get a hitch carrier.

:lol:Well the seat hugs you pretty tight. We bike to stay skinny enough to fit in the seat.:lol:

Lol, true that! I have the Recaro's too and at 170lbs, they hold me perfect.

Pretty roomy! BTW, it looks like that cable is a bit too tight, you may want to see if it's caught on something, it shouldn't be contacting the seal like that... just sayin! :cheers:

Thank you I noticed that before but your comment made me go out and check again. I was able to free up a bit more slack.

Why would you have a bicycle if you already have a car? Bikes are for people too young or too poor to own a car.

I do not allow my wife to touch my car or bike. Actually, she can touch, but cannot use. My Mustang and my Raleigh are my favored possessions and I cannt risk them being scratched

This is great to see! I have a 56" Road Bike and I was hoping that I won't have to deal with bike racks.

For those interested I sent an email to etrailer.com since they had several trailer hitch setups available for Mustang through year 2014 but nothing yet for 2015.
They emailed back and said they should have something from Curt manufacturing sometime in March or April.
So hopefully there will be some trailer hitch choices this Spring that we can use for bike racks.

There is a new kind of bike rack, with suction cups, reviewed in Consumer Reports, March 2015-----got a good review. It only holds a single bike

This is great news! I do a lot of mountain biking and often the drives to the trails are through some fun, twisty driving roads. This beats having to use my Land Cruiser for the hauling duties, as it kind of combines two outings in one.

Do you secure the bike in any way to prevent it from sliding forward during hard braking? I wouldn't want the bike to gouge the back of the seat or interior trim.

Also, do you sit on a towel or bring a change of clothes with you for the return trip, or just not worry about it?

Thank you.

I think the best solution to carrying bikes is the sea sucker mount. East to instal and the key here is...easy to uninstall in seconds! No racks or cross bars left! The have a mount for two bikes and front wheel holder mount as well. Compared to a Yakima or Thule rack which is about 200 for base bars and rack and then another couple hundred for the trays and locks the sea sucker seems like a bargain.

I really want to see one of these mounted on a GT350:

I know every forum has a troll but you try way too hard.
