Strengths:    Inexpensive compared to other similar products. Quick and easy installation/removal.

Weaknesses:    None that I've noticed so far. I've been using the product for about 18 months now, with two different bikes.

Bottom Line:   
Fits (most) factory cross-bars, including the "aero" bars on my 2008 Subaru Forester. I originally had a bike with the 9mm QR dropouts, which this is set up for and it worked perfectly. I needed an adaptor to fit my new bike that has a 15mm QR axle, and one is also available for 20MM axles as well.

Depending on the vehicle and wheelbase of the bike, your trunk may hit the rear wheel while the bike is on the rack. With my current setup there is no issue, but on my friend's Outback he isn't able to move his crossbars up far enough on the rails, which causes the contact. It's a minor issue, but just thought I'd mention it.

Both tires I've used fit in the rail fine, Bontrager XR4 2.35" and Maxxis High Roller 2.35" tires. I would caution anyone with wider tires, as there may be an issue with it not sitting in the rail properly.
