Negative Positive
Title: Works as advertised
Review: We bought this to solve movement of our bike rack. I have used it once for a short trip. It took me about 20 minutes to install. Getting the internal sleeve into the correct position takes some trial and error. I could probably do it in 15 minutes now, but I would definitely budget time to install it. Not great for a quick trip to the park. You really need a ratchet set to tighten the system up. The provided tool will tighten the unit, but not enough to keep it from moving I was able to create a solid connection with a ratchet. I do not leave this installed as some others do. I recall that some reviews mentioned corrosion which concerns me and others mention loosening on long trips. I would consider using a locking washer for a long trip, but would still check it at every stop.
Is the review positive or negative?
