Yes you'll be fine. I have two of these and while I've seen the light and don't have a carbon bike anymore I used to put my Focus Cayo Pro on it and never had any issues.
They are a fantastic bike carrier, although if you have a panoramic glass car roof it's very unnerving seeing your pride and joy vibrating away along the motorways
Thanks for that Smokeysmoo.
Just out of curiosity what made you move away from Carbon? I not looking to open a debate between those with for and against carbon, I'm just curious as I my Carbon road bike is the first I've had.

Just remember about the extra height when you go into the petrol station!
+1, that's were a panoramic car roof comes in very handy TBH
Got the roof bars fitted today and awaiting the cycle rack to arrive.
I bought the roof bars 2nd hand in very good condition, all parts still boxed and all instructions present. The Fixing kit for my car is the Thule 3050. Now the instructions say that the brackets have a sticker on them for FL, FR, RL, RR (front Left etc) the stickers are missing on my brackets so I'm not sure which brackets are for which side, they all look pretty identical to be honest. Anyway I fitted them and they seem solid enough although I don't know if I have the LR in the LR position etc.
Does it really matter if these brackets go on the correct side?

I had the choice with my new car, panoramic roof or roof rails to fit bars to, I picked the latter.
I attach some bungees to hold the front wheel straight to stop it wriggling and possibly working something loose.
