Question:
Are there any issues with putting carbon fiber frames on this rack?
asked by: Brett
Expert Reply:
Usually owners of bikes with carbon frames shy away from bike carriers that make any contact with the frame such as # HR1400Z. If you were to clamp the hooks down too tightly it could damage the frames.
A carrier that holds the bikes at the tires, such as the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # TH69TX, is the preferred method of transporting carbon frame bikes. This particular carrier only fits 2-inch trailer hitch receivers.
If you have a Class I trailer hitch with 1-1/4 inch receiver I recommend the Kuat Transfer # KU74FR.
