i have an odd question:

anyone know if using a fork mounted rack causes any wear or tear on an aluminum road bike? (carbon fork)

i drive a 1-2 of times a week to work at my companies satelite office 95 miles from home (190 round trip) and bring my bike since the location offers some excellent riding terrain.

While away I transport my bike on a thule roof rack. i would doubt that this would be a big deal but given the frequency and lenght of travel i was wondering if this could at all affect the frame or fork.

just wondering.

None. The forces exerted while riding the bike are far greater than that inflicted on it while on the roof rack.
