Assembly and installation was quick and easy as is loading bikes on the rack. The adjustable wheel trays and vertical supports easily accomodates my gravel bike and e-bike, making mounting bikes a breeze.\r\n\r\nWhat I didn't expect is to have two wheel trays fail in less than 6 months of normal usage. I certainly expect these to last much longer, especially since they are vital to mounting bikes on the rack. What's even more disappointing and surpising is that the wheel trays are listed as \"consumable\" items not covered by warranty. Are you kidding me? Consumable? That is almost laughable if it wasn't so rediculous. Are we expected to buy new wheel trays every six months at $11.99 each? Saris needs to redesign these trays to be more durable with a much longer life expectancy, not as \"consumable\" items.\r\n\r\nOne minor note, the ratchet straps are a bit difficult to engage at times due to the angle they are attached to the wheel trays.","textLength":1036,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"badge":null},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2023-12-31T00:00:00-05:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Saris","siteUrl":"https://www.saris.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/1430_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"12527-4412B","title":"Saris Freedom 2 Bike Hitch Rack","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/12527-4412B","category":"cycling-accessories-racks","reviewCount":13,"ratingCount":13,"averageRating":3.3,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":4,"2":1,"3":1,"4":1,"5":6},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":4037966,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Great value.","text":"I’ve had this bike rack for years.

So obviously they know these wheel tray's are poorly constructed - since they are not covering them under the warranty. We have used the rack less then 10 times in less than a year, and already 2 of the wheel trays have broken.
