Now the latching mechanism to release the swing is CHICKEN-SHIT it is so haphazard I had to be sure and strap secure it to keep the swing away from swinging away---I would not buy it, just wait for the Shrock unit. i'm sure it's a lot better.I just wasted 800 bucks, no I modified it to work , but shouldn't have to--just ranting --JIMBO
Did you call and talk to David at Calmini about the problem before you decided to "modified it work" and then get on XOC to rant about it? I have a feeling that a phone call is all that is needed to resolve the problem.
Just an FYI, Calmini does look at the posts on this board. You might want to act like an adult when you talk to them rather than the 10 year old that your post shows. I'm not saying that your gripe is not real, just that there are way better ways of dealing with them.
Just for the record, I had one of the first tire carriers for the older gen X. I had a problem where it would pop open on wash board roads. A run by their shop and about 15 min later the problem was solved.
