Mtb & wrx
Hi Guys,
Looking at getting back into a WRX (hopefully a MY05 STI), my only dilemma is that I am now fairly into my Mountain Biking and carting around a MTB in a WRX could be a challenge. Does anyone on the forum own a WRX sedan and carry their MTB around? on the roof, in the boot? I would like to avoid getting a tow bar. If it just can't be done without too much risk of damage to the car then I may have to consider a forester XT. Any suggestions would be great, thanks in Advance. Dave |

Check out the Rinho rack website mate, they make roof bars with mountain bike holders for 05 WRX/STi's
Rhino Rack - Roof Racks for SUBARU Impreza 4dr Sedan 10/00 to 08/07 Then just buy the mountain bike holders that go onto those bars, job done http://www.rhinorack.com.au/AccSubCa...pe_602_12.aspx |

I carry my DH and xc bike around on the roof of my wrx. I made a special rack to bolt onto my roof racks at work. Im selling it too get a tow bar and grip sport rack though. If you want to buy the roof racks i will sell them for 150buks. They are genuine subi ones, pretty sure they are made by thule. What sort of mountain bike are you looking at carring, does it have 15mm front axel?

I hope the lord takes pity on you for buying a 29'er. But on a lighter note, let me know if you want the roof racks, they will fit any GD sedan wrx, sti or impreza.

29ers are for the new breed of MTB users
I am still old skool cool on the 26 inch MTB LOL Tried mounting my bike carrier on my Wagon but the end of the bike carrier hangs to far over the end off the factory crossmember and fowls the wagon rear door from fully opening... Thinking i may have to turn it around so over hang is at front
