DeerMagnet,
That's intersting to see. I ride a road bike and couldn't get it standing up in the back with only the rear wheel on. And its only a 53cm, so not too tall for a road bike. Guess its the difference in the height of the handle bars on a mountain bike vs road??
But I have a sweet RhodeGear rear trunnk mount from my previous car that works great on the back of the VX. Just clip it to the top of the door, sides and tuck the bottom straps inside under the spare tire cover. Plus it keeps it out of the wind, so better aero and less of a hit on mpg like a rook rack. ;Dr;
