carbon wheels on roofrack?
Quote | Reply
i'm a collegiate cyclist and am travelling a few hundred miles to our first race with my team tomorrow. because of the carpooling situation all our bikes will be on a roofrack. I am racing with deep profile carbon rims, could there be any possible damage on the rear wheel being strapped down on the roof. I'm also in New York and it's cold, does that make a difference? I can put a different rear wheel on just for the trip down but I would rather not if I'm just being paranoid. Thanks.

I have been putting a folded rag between the strap and the carbon rim for the last few years and it seems to work fine. I wouldn't want a hard plastic strap rubing on a carbon rim for hours on end.
