You guys must be able to bench press like The Rock. To be able to hold that bike in that position against the car's top, yikes!

it is pretty simple, the bike weighs like 25 lbs, maxed out with water bottles (my MTB, 09 Stumpy 29er expert, full carbon). Once you preset the skewer ya jus gotta get the fork into the mount and close it.

its all about contact points when you lift the bike. One hand on the down tube, one on the fork, set in place and lock it down, then move to the back tire.....

no issues with cups denting my roof.... but I'm not tugging on it either.... i use it as it is designed with no issues.
