Any cyclists out there who can tell me if a 57CM with 700cc wheels racing type bicycle will fit easily into an A4 trunk with seats folded down without removing the rear bicycle wheel?

Sharon

I think so. I can fit my 50cm bike usually in with wheels removed and the seats up. My husband's 62cm bike definitely has both wheels removed.<p>Sharon

My 55cm fits fine with the rear wheel on.

Yes, no problem. I have a couple of 60 cm road bikes, with a lot of seatpost extension. Pull the front wheel, turn the handlebar against the frame, and slide it in. Then just toss the front wheel into the trunk on top of the rear wheel.<br>

No problems with my Klein. You may have to lower the seat a bit, but it fits pretty good.

So, what precautions do you roadies take to keep the trunk from getting grease marks?<p>I've got a 53cm bike, and I'd rather put the bike in the trunk rather than get a Yakima for it.

I have a 57cm and one of the reasons I bought my 1.8TQM was the fold down back seats. The bike fits easily with the front wheel off. I protect against grease with a McNeil trunk liner and old towels. The liner is great for fishing and camping gear.<p>John B

I tried putting my Serotta road bike in, and it fit barely. I wouldn't do it except on a rare occasion. Forget about a mountain bike especially <br>after a ride. The problems are the dirt, grease, <br>and sharp edges. I bought a Ford Ranger and had the bed Rhino lined just for biking and household<br>hauling. <br>Don S <br>97 QMS
