I love my 1-Up but it weighs so much. I have two add-ons so we can carry four bikes, and I absolutely can’t keep it all assembled all the time...too heavy and awkward. Also, on my son’s very large bike with rear Blackburn rack, the rack “arm” can’t lock to the wheel on that end. I use a strap in addition to the rack on that bike. I think maybe no rack is perfect though and this one is the best of the many I have tried. YMMV.
