Just to follow up on this, I canceled my order for the Helium rack because it wouldn't fit my bike and my wife's without the top tube adapter. There were a few other things I didn't like about it also, so I ended up buying (and very much liking) a 1upusa Quik Rack. Pretty expensive, but well made and very easy to mount and remove bikes from it.

No, not to wear out, but for the Brooks saddle to break in and get comfortable. I've heard some horror stories of them being uncomfortable for a long period after you get them, but once broken in , they stay comfortable just about forever.
