I have had mine for 1 month, maybe 10 rides of which the longest drive to trail is 1Hr. I have really been happy. THings I see becoming an issue later is not the ratchets themselves but the rivets are piddly little things and will at some point pop off Contrary to the write up I actually find the lowering mechanism more of an issue when lowering not raising it. I would like to see it have three detents. One for just lowering a little, 1 for a lot. THe one now means that it really is too low and so when trying to put a bike on the rear tire has to just be swinging in the breeze until the rack if back to normal position. If you want to just get it out of the way it is too far. For shorter riders with shorter bikes the position would be good. It is actually really good to put it up even with two bikes because it wants to pull back up. I find even at 6'2 I have to go and lean on it to get it to come down because the mechanism takes a lot of force to lower it. Totally fine but a shorter and less strong rider may not actually be able to lower it thereby defeating the purpose. Agree that the latch could be a little better. Otherwise it hold really well, makes loading and unloading easy, hasa good solid basekt and the complaint about the ratchets themselves is a moot point. These are the same ratchets that we use to strap our feet in when flying down a mountain on a snowboard, jumping off a 10 foot cliff from same. They're strong. I am happy with mine. Version 2 maybe needs better rivets and definitely a way to replace them at some point.

@ccbrap7: Arimasu means to have something. Imasu (e - mass) means to be The word ARI on its own means "Ant" Maybe it climbs like an ant? Technically they can climb better than goats as they can go upside down. IN Japanese you could said "atarashii jitensha arimasu ka?" (do you have a new bike) You can say "Are you here" "Imasu ka?" And Imasu is for any animate object so you could say it to an ant (or, if you watched spaceman you could say it to an interplanetary spider. THough in the end it was the Koreans that rescued Adam Sandler. Not sure what "to be" is in Korean. But I bet it is spicey! To summarize, the verb to express the existence of people and animals is IMASU, (There is, There are, to exist). Its negative form is IMASEN (There is not, There are not, not to exist). When we talk about the existence of inanimate things, we use ARIMASU (There is, There are, to exist).

Read the NSMB review again recently of the R7 because I was loving my mezzer and older mattoc so much and was wishing for this. So happy. I was about to buy an r7 because I thought any 34mm fork them made would be 120-160 but this is exactly what i need for my older XC bike to go to 110mm and it is very light too.
