Eric is right. I've filed off the lawyer lips on every bike that has had them, and I use a Yakima rack every day to clamp my fork tips.

Re: [RBW] Rivs and Yakima Racks
Agreed. I jam my Hilsen (no lawyer lip) with SKS Longboards onto my Yakima Steelhead. A Boa sounds like a great solution - just make sure it is not loose. It really takes a lot to screw it up. The bigger risk to bikes on roof racks is backing into the garage with the bikes on the top - I'm usually more worried about covering my garage door opener than my bike falling off, or whatever. -Jimmy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
