Thank you, just got a mini and have a Santa Cruz C 5010 small, so should hold that just fine. Thanks for grabbing it at the end. Wanted to see the grip power. Nice bike!
So I have been using this as my daily rack for the month to really see its "longer" term durability. I did make a small adjustment on the straps. I cut off and removed the plastic bar for the top strap and now i can slide it into the truck lid in a position and I use a inexpensive carabiner to hold it in place once the door is closed. still really enjoy the rack and I have not noticed any issue with disc brake issue due to position.
Glad it was of help. Just FYI fast forward it's still my go to rack use it weekly even through 20 degree days without an issue. When it is that cold though make sure the cups are normal room temp. For the vacuum to hold. I have also since cut out the black toggle and replaced it with a cheap 2.00 biner thus allowing me to move the strap to the center of the trucks trunk
Have you got any tips re removing the suction cups, I thought there'd be a button to release air but there isn't so it's a few hard pulls at the moment
Mark there is a raised tab in the side of the vacuum pad you just need to press it firmly toward the center and that should allow the mount to break the suction
No it can not. Seasucker makes racks for the roof and rear but requires the removal of the front wheel. This rack is designed to be out of the direct path of the wind and can only be used on hatchback style vehicles
The only thing worse than these racks, is the casagrande family that owns the company... if you shake a casagrande hand, your free hand better be on your wallet

Thanks for the review Jason. This answered all of my questions.

2:30 maybe you can slide it thru in the middle if you close it halfway, making a bigger gap?

License plate not visible … surely illegal?
Could this be done on a glass roof with a third sucktioncup for the saddle?
No it can not. Seasucker makes racks for the roof and rear but requires the removal of the front wheel. This rack is designed to be out of the direct path of the wind and can only be used on hatchback style vehicles
why dont use other suker on sadle? or a rope side by side pressing the bike to the backdoor?
No smooth metal for another vaccum cup. And I think there are always different ways to prevent the bounce or sway
