Bike Rack for Carbon?

[OakLeaf]

Y'know, I tried to dig up the old thread about spammers who don't post links, we were wondering how the whole thing works.

I know this particular poster has had posts removed before. Now they show up with three more this morning. When I searched for their other posts, here's what showed up:



See, in each post there's a link to a .jpg, but the link is invisible in the post. I don't understand how all this stuff works but I have no doubt that every time one of us views this thread, it gets back to the mothership somehow.

So here I am posting in this thread for others to see. I'm assuming the admins are already aware of this via their magic admin powers, but personally I'm going to be a lot more careful about viewing and participating in threads that contain these posts whose spam nature is obvious but whose insidiousness is concealed. Like the sunscreen one from last week just for instance.

Thank you for this information Oakleaf, it is helpful. Some of these posts are obviously spam, but of the type that it is difficult to choose whether to report it or not. Had no idea there was an invisible image.

Thanks OakLeaf -- I wonder what those invisible JPGs do.

To the point of this thread, which I had not seen: I am very pleased with the Yakima HighRoller. I had to install a roof rack in my car (I had no roof rack, nor a hitch). The rack is super easy to use and it does not touch the carbon, only the wheels. My bike is light (17.5lbs), so it is not a problem to lift it holding it by the seat tube and the fork. If the bike was heavy, lifting would be a problem for me.

Thanks, Oakleaf! For a second there, I thought you were eyeing me as a spammer and I couldn't figure out why! So much for reading comprehension.

And in case anyone cares, I'm sticking with my old rack but not attaching the top tube straps super tightly.
