  1. We've hauled three 30-35 lb bikes in Tropical Storm force winds at speeds up to 80 mph on a Saris Bones 3. Somehow I think you'll be fine if you attach it correctly.
  2. While it's not a FR bike I use the Bones rack with a Bike Beam I'd suggest that you use one as well as it will make things MUCH easier for you
