Carbon frame and bike rack

[golfatha]

Hi guys I’ve just bought my first e bike a cube stereo action team 160 and about to have a Towbar fitted and the purchase of a rack
what I’m concerned about is the clamping of the carbon frame and do any of the racks arms reach to clamp the dropper post much appreciated to have some help here which rack etc

I used to clamp the IFP area on my shock on my previous bike as my clamps on my old Thule tow bar carrier wouldn’t reach the seat post. I know people who clamp their carbon frames lightly with no problems but I never liked the idea of it, plus I’m heavy handed. If I bought it all again I would be getting a rack that clamps the wheels only:

Auxtail - Cycle Carriers - Auxiliary Tail fittings -

No frame touch. Fits nearly all bikes up to 25Kg each. Fast and simple loading and unloading. Designed & made in UK

auxtail.com

Or a Saris Thelma rack.

I stick with Thule rocks and use the velospace,
The bike sits on the platform and little if any weight is supported by the clamps, though I guess there is G force from the loud pedal
A couple of options for carbon frames, frame wrap or false top bar fitted between post and stem
