Where to Store Front Bike Wheels when Using Roof Bike Racks on a 2016 Ford Focus
Question:
I see the rack, plus the bike, but where does the front wheel go, I only ask because I own 2 bikes, and drive a 2016 ford focus, when I load my bikes up, Im usually camping or trail riding with friends so my trunk is full up with gear, sleeping bags, so room for 2 wheels

The short answer is that when using a fork mounted roof bike rack the front wheels will have to go wherever you can put them. Or you could use the Thule Front Wheel Carrier # TH98BV which will also mount to a roof rack and hold the front wheel of a bike.
Another option is to use a bike rack that holds the bike at the frame or wheel. For example the Rhino-Rack Hybrid # RRRBC050 holds the bike at the wheels. I have linked video reviews of both of these racks for you.
