I attach a flag to it when I have the extender on. It’s also super pricey, but I got a pro deal so it wasn’t as awful.
So there are some cons, but it is super solid, easy to get the bikes on and off of, and holds just about any kind of bike snugly without them banging into each other.
One other thing I added: a gnarly Kryptonite “noose” style chain and “New York” lock. Because I like my bikes.

I have the same rack- 2 bike version. I could buy the extension but just worried about the length/weight when it’s in a 4 bike configuration. How easy is it to take off the 2 bike extension? Cause I wouldn’t need the extra capacity that often. So if it’s easy to take off that could be an option
Thanks
