This is a strong contender for me. Problem is I have a 16″ scandal with a tiny front triangle.
Does anyone else have this carrier and a compact frame?

Bumpity bumpity bump.

No but I use it with a 16″ five. One arm goes through the frme by the seatpost, the other one under the downtube. Works great.

I hated mine.

A combination of my 19″ frame and my partners 15″ frame meant the arms wer never in the right place. It was quicker to remove wheels, seatposts and pedals and put them in the boot.

Oh and with my 19″ frame on it the front wheel hit the road at the level crossing causing lots of issues, so I had to take the front wheel off anyway.

My Thule 9503 however is fantastic!
