Bents on Buses

One of the reasons behind my buying a Bacchetta Giro 20 was that by spec, it fit on the bike rack of a bus. The spec was the wheelbase specified for the Sportworks bus/bike rack.

But I've discovered that the 20" wheel makes things a little precarious as its smaller diameter moves the rear wheel to the very back end of the bike rack.

I've been trying to think of a way, besides converting the bike to a Giro 26, that I could make it fit on better. Been trying to imaging some kind of wheel chock that could fit into the groove of the bike rack and act as a spacer for the 20" wheel.

I thought of a tennis ball with a bungee cord through it to attach to the wheel as a spacer, but it didn't seem to fit well.

Anyone have this problem and come up with a solution?
