Does anyone know if a Blur LT will fit onto a Saris Bones bike rack? I need to get one for travelling and don't want to shell out for it if it's not going to fit.

Cheers

K.

My guess is probably not unless you buy one of those artificial cross bars which run from the seat post to the handle bar. Depending on frame size it's pretty crowded inside the front triangle of a Blur LT

If its any help my mega won't fit on my saris bones.

The bones was great till I started changing bike more often than I changed cars.

I hang my blur LT up in the garage on a two pronged type err hanger and I do it via the downtube /fork junction and then the corner of the seatube/toptube you know in the crook of the swoopy bit , not knowing what the saris is like can you not do the same and buy a couple of ratchet straps ?
Or get a towbar fitted and a proper rack 😛

The tow bar option is my preference but the car is a Corsa SXi which has a stupid deep rear trim which is making things difficult. Also looking at the Saris Gran Fondo but not sure about it either. It's one of those times where the Internet sucks and a local store would be handy!

My mate has an intense 5.5 which is similar in shape to the blur and I could get it on with a bit of jiggling.

When I had a " hanging "type carrier I managed to get it on but not level if you know what I mean
Heres mine -white blobs are where i hang it from
Personally wouldnt a roof carrier be better?
