Thanks, George, that is so kind of you. I'll send a PM. Joe, I understand! If it affects the paint, I'll keep with my current setup.
I have a full to-do to get my bike on the hanging rack--inner tube under the wires so wire doesn't scratch the frame and pipe insulation on the tubes so the carrier doesn't scratch the frame. For now I'm sticking with this setup because 1) I can use it with my fendered bike 2) I can lock the bike to the rack with a U-LOCK (not a lowly cable lock) if I need to leave it on my car for a bio break on long trips. (if anyone knows a tray style that can do this, let me know! I might start another thread on this when I get the chance.)
