An effective solution to the "fork safety nubs prevent easy use of fork mount roof racks" problem is to grind or file them off (it took me about 10 minutes on an alloy fork with a hand file). Of course, after you do that, you won't be able to sue the manufacturer if you crash from the wheel coming loose because you forgot to close the quick release. :-)
