Default Anyone put a bike with a FRONT rack onto a bus?

Not sure if this is what you mean: I've had to load this MTB in reverse
because the slot was too short. So the hook had to go over the rear
wheel under the platform stack:

Due to the 4" suspension it has about 5" clearance which your front rack
probably doesn't have. However, the hook would have slid under just
about anything that isn't closer to 1" (hook diameter) to the tire, you
just have to reach in from the end.

There are two "false bottoms" under the wooden platform, IOW three
platforms.

A photo of your bike would help.
