Practical use scenarios

Extended reach helps when mounting a bike rack or cargo carrier in tight spaces or along a curb. It works with a variety of racks, enabling flexible transport options for bikes, gear totes, or other light cargo depending on the setup. Consider this extension as a possible improvement to loading efficiency rather than a guaranteed outcome.
