Is there enough horizontal distance so that when the bike is clamped in at the top tube, there's enough clearance for the pedals to turn?

it is actually tight - if you mount it all the way on the edge of your bench there is enough clearance. It would be a better vice if it were adjustable.

No. Under the bench needs to be open. It has been a bit inconvenient. If you try to mount to something with a cabinet under it, it won't have clearance.

I clamp this to a Thule car bike rack. The bike rack is made from square cross-section tubular aluminum and this is the right size for clamping the BIkeHand.

It depends on the size of the bicycle. My bike has a large frame and thus more distance from the center of the crank to the bench. On smaller frames this may be a problem. I am thinking about mounting a 2 x 4 to the bench to move the mounting point of the Bike hand out from the bench. It is a very nice high quality mount and i really like mine.

It depends on where you clamp it. If you clamp more towards the front of the bike and then rotate the clamp so the top tube is at an angle to the horizontal you can probably find a spot where you can turn the pedals. (As Andy says, there must be some clearance under the workbench.)

C. Olin, the answers below give various perspectives. Ours is not mounted on a bench but on an "arm" that husband built. If you mount this on the edge of a workbench or cabinet top, the pedals will scratch the cabinet below unless the top of the bench extends out from the cabinet face by a few inches. As for will the pedals clear the ground, that all depends on how tall your mounting surface is....

No, you should mount it on a bench top that is overhanging. My bench top overhangs 1" and it can just handle my shimano road pedals. However, it's possible to tilt the bike out when you mount it so that there is more room for the pedals.

We mounted the bike bench on a "stand alone" metal stand (not a work bench), and the bike pedals have plenty of clearance for the pedals to turn.

If you clamp to the seat post or top bar the cranks spin fine. Depending how its mounted you may not be able to move the handle bars but there should be enough space unless the bars extra wide. I have this and have used the park tool wall mount and there isn't much difference.

You can rotate one of the 3 clamp assemblies to work well together but the frames of the bikes should be similar. I took off one of the three for spacing purposes and I was able to carry a cruiser and a womens bike without problem. I did loose the ability to cart three however.

Hi Megan, depending on the width of your bike's pedals and the length of your crossbars, you most likely will not be able to make this happen. The only way this could work is if you had a Thule square bar system, with the longer square bars so you would be able to space your accessories accordingly. We offer 58 inch, 65 inch and 78 inch crossbars for the Thule square bar system. Please visit the "buyer's guide" on www.thule.com for more info. Thanks!

Yes the pedals stay in place if you use Velcro. Depending upon the size of your pedals will determine spacing

The peg would be too big, but I'm sure you could rig it if you wanted. We have both the pedal and motarized.

I'd have to measure, but I have a Fuji Road Bike with a pretty fat top rail and it would work just fine there. I usually clamp to the seat post anyway so it allows me free access to cables and the like. This thing has been a real space saver for me, good luck on your decision. RLB

Yes, but not very good. I have actually done that but the bike would slip and move. The top tube on my bike is angled so it slipped to the corner where the top tube meets the head tube. It would work if you "tie" it down to the hanger.

Bike requires assembly. I would not recommend based on poor turn radius, when trying to turn more than 15 degrees or so the front tire swings very close to the peddles and will catch your foot. there is no length adjustment for the distance between the two tires or the tires and the peddle gears.

I do not know how to answer. Perhaps go to Sears and try out their selection of bikes which was large. That is how I decided what bike. I love my bike, but I am not sure what you are asking. the pedals do not turn if the bike isn't on.

Hello, I imagine you could if it will fit. However the bikes will still move back and forth and may fall over as you turn. Thank you.

I just mounted this to a Trek 6000. The only adjustment was to angle it towards the rear wheel so my leg on the pedal would not hit it while riding.

There is a small hole in the front forks that could be used to help mount a basket. But it really isn't ideal on this type of balance bike.

The stand connects almost directly under the pedal hub -- already the lowest ground-clearance area of the bike. However, the retracted stand then angles down to within just a few inches of the ground. I tried it on my E-Zip and sent it back.

It should do just fine. It is designed to be clamped in place on the outside of your bike frame by the nut or quick release that keeps your wheel in place. It fits flat against the outside of the frame; the disc brake is on the inside. There will be no interference. Not to mention, I bought it to move the unit back so my heel would stop catching the clamp version of the hitch. This is far better and safer I think.

have not experienced any issues while turning, but is kind of tedious loading bikes while connected. And bikes are in the way of the dolly jack crank if you load them before you hook up. We can only use it for our kids bikes effectively with our e-150 - don't have the ground clearance to put my 29er on it unless really smooth roads

Yes, you can rotate the clamp to accommodate any style of bike so that it hangs the way you want it to. Nice bike rack, I love it. Simple to use.
