My bike doesn't seem to fit on the rack (too long) even with the front strap as far forwards as it will go on the rack.

Any way of lengthening the rear bit?

This is a stupid question I'm sure of it.

Do you mean the overall wheelbase of the bike is longer than the rack, or that when the upright is locked on, the bike is in the wrong place?

You can adjust where the upright is attached. It's a faff with the bolts but can be done. This alters where the bike sits. My Five with it's ridiculous wheelbase will go on a 591.

Take the rack off the car and undo all the bolts so bits can slide. Clamp the arm in the right place and you can then move everything around till it fits. My Mondraker vantage fits fine and that's super long.

Slightly shorter wheel-base than my Five then. You've be fine once the arm is moved a bit.
