Want to put a road bike 17" inside the CT and was wondering if it will fit ?

Why not give it a try, post the results and let us all know????

Don't have a CT yet. Not getting one until about Sept but ride a bunch and was wondering.

Yes you can fit a Bike in it.

I even fit two last week. One 15'' and one 22.5''. The only thing is that I had to take off the front wheel on the second bike.

One other option will be to turn the handlebars at 90 degrees. But in my case it was more easy just to take the wheel off.

And I'm not sure if I like doing it since the trunk need to be cleaned now ! There is dust coming from the bikes.

Thanks man and was wondering about pulling that tire and I have the quick dismount so it's not a problem and I'll have to put a sheet down or something as there is also grease from the chain and dirt to worry about.

I can just squeeze in my 26" mtn. bike...I put the back wheel in first as close to the driver's side and roll it back into the car and dip the seat down to clear the roof....I then have to make sure the handlebars are angled down enough to clear the rear window and the front wheel ends up at an angle at the back...
I removed my inside cover in the back too....

I generally prefer a roof mount for my bicycles but its good to know I should be able to also fit my roadie in the back. Mountain bikes I always mount on top as when I am done riding I dont want to put the rig anywhere near the inside of my car.

Yep. I would use the roof rack as well to avoid jamming a bike (especially a dirty one) inside the car.

I have a bike rack for the rear that I have used on other cars, but the CT hatch GLASS goes all the way to the top, you are actually putting the strap hooks ON THE GLASS...I doubt this is a good idea, any suggestions ???

Add the little trailer hitch and do a hitch mount bike rack, if you don't want them on the roof.

Yeah I have one of those too and no way would I consider it if I were you on the CT. I would think the roof is it but I'm still thinking to remove the front tire and slide it in the back but of course mine is a road bike strickly and not a mudder but it is a pretty long bike (Specialized Roubaix) but that is one of the main wants in this car is to haul a bike around.

I think road bike 17" will fit. Can you post some photos if you done installing it.

 

[rayden]

I would like to see this too... could save me some money from buying a roof rack.

 

[Barbosa]

Could always switch to one of these folding bikes.

Save on space and the cost of a roof rack all the same time.

Exactly. I have done the roof thing, forgotten the bikes up there, and CRASH. Not a good scene. I plan on getting a hitch for the Crosstour sometime this month.
