Roof rack for mx-3?
Posted: May 7th, 2006, 1:09 pm
Mountain biking is one of my passions. I've been able to drop my bike in the back of the Mx-3 with the backseats folded down and front wheel of the bike off. It actually works pretty well. I can even fit two bikes in the back when my friend comes with me. It's a tight fit but I can just get them in... but it's such a hassle.
I've tried different hatch/trunk mount bike carriers but they don't feel secure. And the length of my bikes are longer then the width of the car so they stick out on both ends.
I've always like the clean look of bikes sitting on roof racks but couldn't find one that would fit the Mx-3. Yakima doesn't make one that fits. Thule shows their Aero 400xt(r) with a Fit Kit 156 will fit the Mx3.. but i'm doubious...
Which leads me to ask, does anyone actually have a roof rack installed on their Mx3? And what items are you able to carry? Bikes, skis, surfboards, kaykas?
Thanks,
Phil.
