Having recently realised that there is no way i can fit my bike into the car, i have been looking at getting the Saris Bones rack (no hitch on the car) but after searching i've still got a few questions.

1. my coiler weighs in at 37lbs. should i really be putting that much weight on the rear bumper? has anyone put a heavy bike on a rack that requires support from the bumper?

2. how does everyone else transport their FR/DH rigs? or any other rigs that use bolt-through forks?
