I used my Bones 3 once and then sold it. I'm not sure they're particularly worse than other "strap-ons" but I wouldn't trust one with a couple of chunky full-suss bikes personally. Apart from anything else they are a right hassle for anything other than a simple hardtail.

I have used them in the past with a HT but I think it would be difficult to fit a heckler on due to the shock position. Not certain though but I had trouble putting my 5 spot on it and looking at my heckler it would be very difficult.

To get my Ibis mojo to fit i use the saris bike beam which links between the stem and seatpost(backed up with straps just in case!). Works on long journeys ok

hi, used a saris bones 3 for 2 full sussers - mix of a canyon nerve, giant anthem and a spesh fsr - all fit ok with a bit of pushing and thinking.

as ^^ you can get almost any bike to fit using a bike beam TBH.
