Question Any mountain bikers here - using a 'Saris Bones' on a MCS?

As the title says really - are there any mountain bikers here who use a Saris Bones rack on their MCS? My last car (A golf R32 MKV) was unable to use the rack due to the roof spoiler, but I presume the rack can go through the hole in the MCS spoiler without fouling or causing problems?

TIA
Kevin

HI,

We have hybrid bikes and have bought this rack....

Saris Bones RS Rack for £152.99 | Saris Car Racks | Cycle | Wiggle

It fits the OH BMW 6 and is supposed to fit the Mini too - although as yet we haven't tried it.

It was great on the 6 - we took the bikes to France last month and had no problem. Once set correctly it's easy to fit - one person could do it.

Cheers for that. The bones 2 and 3 use the same strapping system as yours, so it looks like it will fit.

Many thanks.
