However, the included straps are too short. My 700x35 hybrid bike won't fit and my 26x2.2 Mt. Bike fits only with a bunch of pushing and yanking. Saris sent me free extension straps so I can secure my bikes, but these are too long, flap all around and get in the way of loading the bikes. The included straps need to be 4" longer. That would make it a perfect rack. I have this rack and love the lightweight. However, the included straps are too short. My 700×35 hybrid bike won’t fit and my 26×2.2 Mt.

I don't know what they were thinking. A smaller almost senior adult person like me, would love a 26lb rack that I could handle myself and that would accomodate my 24" wheels. Lightweight and easy to use but not for everyone. I would wait for them to redesign but I can't. I need a new rack now. I like the ones that hold the bikes by the wheels. This was the best looking and lightest though! November 21, 2007 - Saris is coming out with an accessory for a 24in and 20in wheel. You should see it by the Spring of 2008 - Ernest I was very close to getting one of these until I read they will not accomodate 24″ bikes. I don’t know what they were thinking.

Very lightweight and easy to carry, and also easy to attach (and remove)from my SUV. It's very unusual and when it's nicely and neatly folded upright on my hitch -- without my bike on, of course -- it seems that the driver in the car behind me is trying to figure out just exactly what it is thats hanging from the back of my car! I'm enjoying their confusion! I love this rack — thanks son! Very lightweight and easy to carry, and also easy to attach (and remove)from my SUV.
