Any suggestions for a trunk rack for a Geo Prizm? I purchased a Thule,
but it doesn't seem to fit right. It can't be right to have my bike
hanging only three inches from the ground.

I don't know how low a Prizm is, but I use the Exporter 2 bike model
available from Performance on my Geo Metro convertible I use it with my
road bike and my recumbent. And both of them were pretty high off the
ground, maybe even TOO high.

Perhaps the setting instructions are wrong. It says to set the pins at
#6. I'll try it at a higher setting and see what happens. Thanks.
