Hi all,

I have a nice carrier I use with our Sienna van. Quick on and off and works very well.
I recently purchased a Giant OCR2 that has a compact frame. The bike can still fit on the rack but it takes a bit of work to get it on there as the amount of space to work with is very close to the width of the bars.

Is there any reason that the tightness of the fit would cause any distortion or problems for the frame in the long run? I imagine that the alum frame is pretty strong but hate to mess up the thing.

Thanks for any feedback.

Sheldon
