I rode in the late 1980's and throughout the 1990's. I sold my Bianchi road bike several years ago.
Earlier this spring, my wife decided that she wanted to ride the roads ... as it happens, we both now have nice carbon fiber bikes and we ride as often as we can.
Here is my dilemma, is our hitch-mount Allen rack acceptable for our carbon fiber bikes. The bikes do not rub against each other, they do not bounce around, however, the bikes do ride on the top tube ... I worry that resting on the top tube could be a problem (structural integrity, mostly) ... can someone please advise or direct me to a site where I can educate myself on this matter?
