Great value in a Yakima upright bike carrier. While it does take some initial fiddling to get the proper spacing for the quick release, once it is set, the process is quick and secure. If you have disc brakes, be sure to check if this carrier will work with your brake set. If you ride really wide, greater than 2½ in or 6.3 CM, tires, check to make sure your tire will properly seat in the trough. Within these limitations, this is a great choice.
