Hi, How difficult is the button to press for the ratchet holders. I have mild arthritis in my fingers.

I too have some slight arthritis so I decided to go out and try out the Kuat Transfer bike carrier # KU74FR to see if it presented any sort of challenge. The button used to move the hooks up and down actually presses in fairly easily. You only really have to push it when moving the hooks up. When moving the hooks up I recommend using 2 hands to make it easier. But pushing it down is easy because it ratchets if the button isn't pressed.
