Would you travel like this?

I am a bit concerned about mounting the front as in the pic. No real other option on this bike rack because the front wheel stays on the ground otherwise.

 

Thanks

Nothing wrong with that. It's the reason that those mounts rotate.

As long as the front wheel is clear of the exhaust pipe...

No problem with the frame support HOWEVER, that front wheel and the exhaust would worry me and the rear number plate.

 

Also watch the wheels if you hit any speed bumps at speed....

Worries me that there's two stanchions on that fork.

Roads no problem. Mounting it on the downtube also no problem. Just be careful of dips like large speedbumps and into steep driveways. Because it is so low, the bike wheels could touch and drag on the ground.

Yeah best take the front wheel off, or you may have an interesting looking tire when you get where you're going

Also best get a spare number plate and one of those rear light clusters from Midas. Attach that to the end of the rack so people can see your lights and plate properly (it's also a legal requirement btw, albeit one that hardly anyone adheres to)

That front wheel will most certainly go inside the car!!!!!

From a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson learnt ............... TAKE OFF THE FRONT WHEEL AND PUT IT IN THE CAR far far far away from the exhaust

I have a pipe what I fit on my seat post and steering.
