I was having a debate with a mate about whether you could safely mount a Lefty onto a Thule Outride 561, as shown below.

Assuming you clamp the front strut in securely, it should be OK, right?

Cool. Cheaper than a ForkUp adapter.
I cheated. I bought roofracks that don't require you to remove the front wheel. Saves you having to find room in the car for front wheels when it's already packed with sweaty guys.
