Could I seat on the bike to adjust suspension while using this stand?

No. It is designed to hold the bike without a kickstand. You can not sit on the bike while using EZ Bike Stand.

It would not be recommended to do so. Manufacturer recommendations are clear to state not to seat on the bike while it is on the stand. Product is great but it was not designed for doing so.

I wouldn't recommend using the stand as a stabilizing device to make adjustments on a bike.

I guess it depends on what size bike you have. Mine is 700c and it is not very stable in the stand without also using the kick stand. For smaller bikes, you shouldn't have any trouble standing the bike in it for minor maintenance. But, I don't think it will work with you sitting on the bike.

No, the stand is not designed to take the weight of the rider and bike. Only light maintenance is recommended.

No. The stand will keep the bike upright. With the weight of a rider on the seat, it would tip over and probably damage your rear wheel. A proper trainer would probably be what you would need. Perhaps your could borrow one.

If not close to weight balance, the bike will rotate. I havent tried to prevent that, but perhaps you can. In either way, the stand is sturdy so there is no risk for it falling.

You should be able to, most engine stands are by weight. This one does have adjustments.

Probably, however; I personally would not because it is a stationary bike with very little stability for NOT TIPPING OVER while standing. I DO NOT believe it was constructed for that purpose....that's IS WHY there are different settings for making it harder to pedal. You would get the same effect by increasing the more difficult settings.

Yes, you can use one with your suspension fork. My bike is specialized epic comp that is full suspension bike. I have no problem after using this one to front fork for DSLR bike box both paved and unpaved road. Just remind one - it can be slippery by heavy weight, so strength the contact surfaces, for example, with using rubber pads.

Bike stand can only hold so much weight. I wouldn't keep the bike in the stand to long, it may bend the plastic.

Yes, you can, but bike will stand up very high, not that it really matter if parking bike on level ground. If height annoy you, remove rubber feet, cut off even amounts of legs and replace rubber feet. Don't cut off more than an inch or too near the first bend. You still want the leg to go down, not sideways

Yes this is how I use it most of time. Use the heavy-duty adjustment screws to lock it into any position you want. The stand works just great!

You can, but they say you should put in an piece (that they provide) to make sure the pedals don't unscrew over time. Also, I recently have used it alot less because I feel since you don't sit exactly (100%) in a straight line from it, I feel my back feels a bit weird after using it alot (I'm also pretty sensitive about my body).

YOu could but would not recommend it. The brackets that hold the bike in place are very hard plastic and they have scratched my bike from the bike slightly shifting and moving while driving. If you were to mount the slanted top bar bike this could cause the bike to shift even more because the weight wouldn't be evenly distributed.

You sure could. I placed a longer seat post on my bike to give me a better pedaling geometry.

I have no problem accessing the bike while on the stand. The multiple legs give greater support then the two legged versions. I really like the stand as it is stable. I have used it with folding, male and female comfort bicycles.

Yes the lifting portion of the stand is spring loaded so it will adjust to the width of your bikes swing arm.

I seriously doubt it. I am only 5'9" and I have it extended all the way, because I like to straighten my legs when cycling. You could modify it by adding a metal tube between the two halves of the adjusting tube, but it would probably be unstable unless you welded it. I'd use my money to buy a second hand larger model if I were you.

Yes, but the angles of rotation are a bit limited. As long as you get the right size bike for your height, I can't see it being a problem.

Yes i use this as everyday bike stand not just for tweaking and repairs! Go for it I hear feedback stand is a little cheaper :)

Yes, you can. Please consider that you must adjust te back hub into the wheel surface so it is tight enough... If you feel you are rolling -too soft- then you must adjust (sorry if the terms are not totally accurate, I am not an expert in mechanical-sports English; but I hope you get the idea). It's an easy to install and use item for the kind of bike you will use it for.
