I wanted to ask if any of you have any suggestions for transporting my new '04 Caliente. Since I don’t have a big SUV to fit my trusty steed inside my car, I bought a Yakima trunk rack to carry it. Unfortunately, the arms are too wide to fit correctly under the top tube, and I had to jury-rig the bike to fit (1/2 on top tube, half under seat stays) for the ride home. It would seem as though there’s a better solution so the bike is safe and secure, any ideas/tips/rack suggestions? Thanks!
I’ve had to do the same thing for years, no problems. Just make sure everything is tied / bungeed down, you should be fine.
