My Trek 7.6 is quite the chore to get it up on the rack, and it isn't just due to the sloping top tube, the weight plays a role as well.

I ended up getting a bolt on top / cross bar to mount my Trek on the rack because of its sloping TT (and it saves the nice paint work too!)

Thanks for the link. Your car and LHT were meant to be together!

I think so too!

I got the cross-bar that clamps on my bike made by Saris and it actually doesn't make it much easier - I still have to struggle to get one side of the bike on the rack because of that TT - there just isn't much room between the cross-bar and the TT.

What size is your Trek? I wonder if this is because mine is so small - it is the smallest 7.6 they make.
