I have a Saris trunk rack with a similar scheme--two arms where you rest the bike, then you strap it in place. My current bike is aluminum, but I'm looking to buy carbon in the future. LBS said it shouldn't be an issue, but I could buy a pad for the top tube if I was concerned.

I'm confused. Aren't the black rubber thinggies the bike rests on safe enough for carbon bikes? Do they need extra padding or should carbon bikes not be on a rack at all?
