Just got a bicycle rack from a thrift store. Wondering if it’s okay to attach a bicycle like that?
I never had it before. Appreciate your opinion

That’s not how you’re supposed to do it. You’ll need a top tube adapter.
Please don’t attach your bike to your rack by the shock. It’ll definitely scratch the hell out of the shaft.
Yikes… say bye to your shock stanchion…. Also no that’s terrible get a top tube adapter or buy a proper rack
No.

I misread the title as “Does it look gay? I thought you were referring to the paint scheme. Nevermind, carry on 😂
Oh, and yeah, it’s kinda gay
Nah man…
Rear wheel wants to be a Mavic so bad
The Tesla in the background explains everything.
Flip the bike upside down so the bottom tube is on top and hang and attach after.
Please just buy a used tray style rack on marketplace. Don’t sink $40 into a top tube adapter. Make the jump to a real rack. You won’t regret it!
You don’t need any adapters. Put the left rack prong in the small triangle on the seatpost/top tube. Put the right prong underneath the top tube. Push the bike all the way in to the rack uprights. If you’re worried about scratching the bike, get some rubber or foam padding to put between the upright and bike.
It’s fine don’t be a wimp!
Wow no it’s not ok, get a platform bike rack
Forget about the looks. How does it ride?
