Question:
Would a carbon fiber bike be safe on a bike rack like? Is there a different option thats better? I have a new Trek FX hybrid.

Hey Chris, yes a carbon fiber bike would be perfectly fine on the Thule Verse bike rack part # TH64SA as it only grabs the bikes by the tires. Carbon bikes have pretty delicate frames so you don't want a bike rack that touches the frame at all otherwise it will scratch it up or worse.
