Cheers- with front passenger seat jacked fwd/inclined? Mines a medium Commencal/wheels off. Only a temporary measure until the correct feet arrive for my Thule bars.

I can fit my moped in mine. Bikes are easy with the wheels off. Or you can just strap them to the spare wheel.

Mine did go in yesterday 'just' so I also bought a Witter towbar mounted bike rack.

Pics to follow of my new Jimny :)

My next job is to fit wheel spacers

Mine hangs on a homemade bracket bolted to the spare wheel, I can then fit my son's in the back with the wheels off (small frame, 26" wheels).
The roof isn't an option as it is fitted out to carry three kayaks!

It's a squeeze but I was able to get a 26" and a 650b along with the mutt in. Had to take both wheels out and put the front seats fwd a bit.

Looking at making a carrier that works oof a roof rack but hangs the bikes off the door.

Wow. How?! I had to put my Commencal meta V4 crossways with wheels off. I'll take a pic of my new rack later :D
