I just bought a mountainbike, and would rather go and collect it in my own car than my wife's! With the wheels off, will it fit in my T350? ...or am I being a doughnut? I don't want to mess around removing the forks and pedals and bell and such like!

Unless you are very small, I reckon you'd have to have the forks off. And you'd still be risking the seat backs.

I have had my mountain bike in the boot of a Cerbera and my Tamora (roof out) so I would have thought that it would fit in a T350 with both wheels off and the seatpost dropped right down.

Cerb I could just about understand but a Tamora? what kind of bike was it full suss?

I've had a road bike, wheels off and seat post out, in mine. Packing, especially for oily bits, is key

Sounds a bit close, so I think it's not worth the risk! Impressed with the Tamora one though! Thanks all.

Nope, rigid all round but only a 16.5 or 17 inch frame. Both wheels off with the seatpost right down and it will fit in near enough upright. Will get a picture next time I put it in there.

Hood unfortunately a non-starter so either leave it at home or look like one of "those" who have it up on a sunny day.
