That's the one with three legs, right? I have that one.

Are you talking about the single band on the side? I mean, not the two on top that hold the top tube, the other one.

If so, when I bought mine, they told me it's to go around the seat post tube. (Not the seat post, the tube in the frame.) Do you have the bike backward on the rack?

My Bones has two straps for the top tube and one for the down tube. The front wheel you secure with a bungee you supply.

If I misunderstood, try looking at the manual here:

thanks for the link, i have been putting the bikes on backwards this whole time... lesson learned: read manual

I bought mine new and I don't remember getting a manual. I see I have the straps all wrong, should not open the trunk with the rack attached, and should quit driving at 80 with the bikes loaded. OOPS.

ha, i need to buy some bungees for my bike, when i get on the highway it gets blown back like a sail...
