Studying an anchoring system for two bicycles to be transported in the boot of the Grenadier, and checking the measurements of both the bikes and the boot, I came to the conclusion that the best geometry should be with the forks of the bikes (without the front wheels) fixed to the special thru-pin blocks anchored to rear panel of reclining rear seats. The fork blocks could be bolted to a rail similar to the one stock on the Grenadier. Do you think the rear seat back panel is strong enough to anchor a standard rail to it? If not, any suggestions to strengthen it?

I think there’s already a bike carrying thread and I remember posting a photo of an example front fork anchor. Might be better to find & post this question there so others who’ve posted get alerted to your query.

This is the sort of thing I was proposing. For a lightweight carbon bike with a bit of lateral strapping from the frame to the side tie downs, I don’t think the loads on the plastic seat back would be too great.
