I'm concerned that the front piece that holds the wheel will hit the front brakes/calipers. Does it?

Hi Skot! The arm is movable so you will be able to modify the position as you see fit.

You have total control over the location that the arm touches. That is the big advantage over the traditional frame securing bike mounts. I have never had a problem on my expensive mountain bike with discs, or my cruisers with v brakes. Best carrier hands down. Worth the extra money.

No, the arm in movable and you can set the arm between the brakes and the forks or on the other side of the calipers. Whatever works for your bike.

It doesn't touch the calipers...only the rubber on the tire. This is a great rack!!

Probably not. It is used to keep the rear brakes from locking up before the front.

Hi L. Daniel,Not at this model. You will find hand break at fixed front wheel model.

I haven't had such an issue. However, I would advise using every trick in the book available before you open up the casing of the front wheel. It doesn't look it would withstand an open heart operation.I would start by using the pedals in reverse, checking if there are any external obstacles, etc.

I would take it off and put it back on and see if it sits properly. Also (I dont know your skill level) make sure the washer is on correctly, there are two very distinct sides. You will LOVE the Brake by the way.... that concussion from this thing is a beast, and almost little to no climb

If you have the front arm extended, it should be ok. The lower support is fixed and should not move relative to the front wheel.

Not 100%. You still have to install the front wheel. ... easy to do... everything else is ready...

Sorry...no it won't...front wheel bearing hub assemblies have a hole in the center for the front drive axle...rear wheel bearing assemblies do not...

You are correct. It will likely block pedal motion as well. Probably ok for minor work like changing a wheel or simple lubrication/adjustments.

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to use the upper brakes. I think any front bag would be in the way. If you really use the upper brakes a lot, I'd suggest going to a bike store with your bike and comparing the bags there.

Yes it does but my front brake pads weren't the right ones. Other than that, I have no complaints.

Yes, you need a riser to keep the front wheel from moving around. I had tried without a riser my first time and it did not end well

Applying progressive pressure will make it slow down, the brakes are a piston above the rear wheels (an upside down bolt) which pushes into the tire, it is not a caliper that grips the wheel rim like on a bike. I think if you used the break in that manner you would have to frequently adjust the break with the rollator's included wrench and may eventually need to replace the wheel, I'm not sure that would be the case. I can say that after using it for many months now, I could not be more satisfied.

There is a lock and unlock lever on the front tire play around with it. The one I have is working fine.

Not sure, I had to mount my boards on the highest setting for my feet to fit under the brake lever. After a test ride I had to adjust them down a little for comfort, but I never had a problem with them hitting up against anything. Sorry but good luck to you!

Hmmm not sure, I will try mine when I get home! Have not had an issue, mine was the wheel coming off!!

I sure hope not! I've been using it for 6 or 8 months and I haven't seen any evidence of damage. the rim contact is rubber and the tension is adjustable. Hope this helps.
