March 3, 1998, on Bicycles:
regarding fork mount roof racks for your bike: Yakima (and Thule too, I think) make fork mounts with "long throw" levers. These let you clear the little "safety nubs" on most forks. Fork mount racks are more stable and your bike sits lower. As a result, wind noise is reduced and lifting the bike up onto the roof is less of a problem.
