There's a little disagreement about what type of bicycle car rack is safe for carbon fibre bikes. I'm looking for one that attaches to a tow bar.

I'd like to read peoples thoughts about what types are suitable for carbon fibre bikes.

Links or photographs would be much appreciated.

I use a Thuletowbar-mounted bike carrier. They are expensive but work well with carbon bikes.

We have a very good one, I'm going to check out which one it is when I'm at my dads and let you know. I used it a couple of times to go to the Provence (1000kms) with my Ridley Noah, it's a good thing :)
