    Slow Fold Strut

    Does its job as described. I think an essential part of the kit, you cannot effectively operate a 6 bike rack loaded with even 4 bikes (unless you are pretty strong) without this damper.

    Worth it

    The slow fold strut works well and is needed if you want to tilt the rack fully loaded

    Slow Fold Strut

    When folding the rack down to load the bikes the strut does makes it easier to bring the rack back to the vertical position. It is however really difficult to bring the rack down. I have watched a video of a guy climbing onto the rack using his weight to bring it down vs just trying to pull it down. It was so hard I was convinced that I had made an error with the assembly. I typically just load the bike without dropping the rack. I do often drop the rack to access tools, pump or other things from the back of my truck. So it is nice to have the strut for raising the rack.

    The wheel basket is also not as deep as other brands that I have seen, so when the rack is in the down position it is a little difficult to keep the bike wheel in the basket. I found that you have to set the wheel in the basket then lean it into the position that it will be in when the rack is up for it to stay. If I were making any design edits I would make the wheel basket deeper to make this method of loading easier.

    Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad to hear that the strut makes raising the rack easier, but we understand your concerns about bringing it down. The resistance is designed for stability and durability, but we’ll take your experience into account for future improvements.

    Regarding the wheel baskets, we appreciate the suggestion. Ensuring a secure fit while loading is important, and we’ll pass this feedback along to our design team.
