Title: Wouldn't Work With My Receiver
Review: This system has a nut welded on to a U-Shaped "lock nut carriage." The way it's welded on makes it a bit tricky to thread the bolt into the nut, but doable. However, when I insert it into my rack from North Shore, the fit is tight enough that the open ends of the Lock Nut Carriage gets squeezed together a bit. This means that when you're trying to thread the bolt in, it's at a slightly off angle. Over and over, we could almost get the threads to catch, but then it would pop back out. Really frustrating. Bought a second one assuming that the first was just odd somehow and had the exact same problem. Maybe we just got a bad batch or maybe we're just idiots, but it kind of killed our big mountain bike trip so we're switching to a QuietRide from SoftRide. We'll see how that one works. I actually think the design of the TriMax is really slick and I assume it must be working on other receivers, but it didn't happen to work in mine.
Is the review positive or negative?
