The plastic clamp to adjust the tilt of the back support works well but if you put the strap on the that tilting support you are relying on that plastic to hold the kayak down. I would not trust that so you have to bring the strap all the way down to the load bar, which also makes it more difficult to manage. With a non tilting/folding J rack, there is no plastic so you can wrap the strap around the metal support and it is easier to load, but of course it does not fold down.
Summary -
If you want to carry two kayaks and load/unload often, and want the fold down option, you really need two sets of these, one mounted on each end of the load bars, with the support set at an angle (like a non tilting J rack). You will still need to put the strap around the load bar, but otherwise it is a nice system for that application. For a single kayak with fold down, it is pretty good.
