I have a Trek 5500 and I'd like to take it to a few different areas occasionally to ride. I've been looking at Saris Bones racks and wanted to know if anyone has any reason I shouldn't use this type of rack with a carbon frame? I suppose I could add some cushion material to the rack to protect the tubes.

I'm not about to spend $300 for a roof rack and I don't have a hitch on my commuter car. I'd like a 3 bike rack as my kids like to ride with me at a local park.

Any suggestions or comments?
