I've been on this a while so here's some rando's experience:
1\. I'm running this on my alu ripmo and couldn't secure the forward mount so just run the rear. So yes, chainstay shape can have an affect (or I'm a hack).
2\. I think the instructions say to err on the cautious side. Once you cinch it down you may find you cut one too many notches off (ask me how i know).
3\. probably (stays and/or gearing) but I like how affordable this is.
4\. snug those zip ties again after a ride or two then you're good.
5\. yes.
