I used to have a Peugeot 4007 with Thule t-track bars. The t tracks allow the full width of the bar to be used
Last year with turning the handle bars on the 2 kids bikes I carried 2 x 24" wheel & 2 x 26" wheel mountain bikes with no problem.
With my Mondeo I have the flush clamp Ford branded bars that don't have the same amount of width so I can now only carry 3 bikes.
Sorry if I'm borrowing the thread for a second here, we've just bought a Mondeo 2.2 titanium x Zafiral, it's a hatch back and an amzing towcar with no roof rails, is this the same as yours & if so how much weight can you put on your roof bars please? I need to carry two kayaks & I reckon they weigh around 70 kilos.

Sorry for the delay in replying. According to the May 2010 brochure the roof rack load is 75 kg so 70kg plus the bars could be tight. However as kayaks are lower than a bike they will put lower force on the bars for the same weight.
