So it was I who was the reviewer here and I can add a little more to the
review since I now have a touch more time with the rack.
- there was a little more 'sway' in the rack after things beded in, but a quick tighten up has fixed it and it certainly doesn't allow the bikes to bobble around like the Kuat rack I had did.
- road bikes fit just fine and yes the extra rubber spacer on the strap does help with the shallow rims, you do need to load a road bike on the rack with a little care as the down tube is close to the rack.
- it also takes 24″ wheel bikes just fine which I had to test when my nephew was in town.
- I am quite sure that the length of the rack is shorter than an equivalent Thule, Yakima or other tray type rack as the bikes stack closer together, but at the same time it sits higher so I haven't had any issues with tire clearance on step inclines, water bars, bumpy roads etc.
Overall I am still happy with it and seems to be holding up to regular use
really well.
