    I'm awaiting delivery of my new Five, and I'm going to purchase a roof mounted carrier in advance. Can anyone suggest a suitable and strong cycle carrier that can accomodate the shape of the Five's frame.
    Thanks in advance.

    I've got a Thule 591, very nice too.

    +2 for the 591. the downtube gripper clamp sits nicely just above the pivot – just remember to put some helitape on where it grips the frame, as mud/grit can grind away the shine !

    Taken my friends fives using the cheapest Thule 530 (http://www.thule.com/en-GB/GB/Products/BikeCarriers/RoofCarriers/530000.aspx)

    It's worked fine, no real reason to spend more!

    I've covered the clamp with a bit of an old inner tube and taped up the contact point on the bike frame as well.

    Enjoy the bike.

    My mate's Orange fits nicely on the Thule 591. All the way from Suffolk to Nant Peris and back no probs.
