Recommended Bike Rack For Carbon Fiber Frame Bike Used in Various Weather Condtions
Question:
I’m looking for a hitch rack for my carbon frame bike. I will be using this several times a week and want to leave it attached my car is garage-kept. Looking for something that can withstand regular use and various weather conditions. Can you recommend a good rack? Thank you for your help!

Expert Reply:
The Thule Helium # TH53GC is the best option for your carbon fiber bike that may be exposed to various weather conditions. The Thule Helium is a wheel mount bike rack so it holds the bikes by the wheels rather than the delicate bike frames.
The # TH53GC is also aluminum so it can withstand the elements for longer periods of time without rust. This rack also includes the lock for the bikes and the hitch to protect your investments.
