Question:
I have a mountain bike with a large top-tube Klein Mantra which will not fit many stock bike carriers. Is there an available rubber strap for the Superjoe Pro 3 that is longer than those supplied, in order to accommodate larger bike frames? Also, will this model fit a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX 4-door with the factory spoiler?

Expert Reply:
None of the hanging style trunk mount bike racks are going to work with the standard straps and the tall frame on your Klein Mantra bike. You could possibly find your own straps but extra long replacements are not available.
The best option is to go with a trailer hitch, # 24710, and a hitch mount bike rack compatible with a Class I trailer hitch # S64670. I have included some informational links on the hitch and bike rack for you.
