Or the best solution yet...
Return said bike rack, save a few dollars up, go to 1upusa.com and buy the best rack on the market, hands down. Made in the USA- Platteville, WI no less.
I LOVE mine.

"Every one of you should ride a bike and be yourself. I really and truly believe that bikes make the world better, and that anyone who spends some time getting used to life on the saddle will find that it makes their life and the world that their life is locked to, better; in almost every way." -Gern Blanston, Surly Bikes
