Does anyone have any experience with the BMW OEM Touring MTB rack? That way I can leave the front wheel on the bike and mount it up top.
Here's a pic of my rack and bike.

Yakima has a thru axel adapter that'll work for you.
I use it on both my Giant bikes. Works well.
Just understand that, if you're fork mount rack has a lock on it that would lock the bike to the rack (as my Rocky Mount's rack does) the bike won't be locked to the rack. The adapter will be but not the bike.
You'll need to use a cable or "U" lock to lock the bike to the rack.
