Is it good on a road bike?

Excellent, works pretty well, highly visible, very good option at a fair price. I do recommend this product.

Yes! But I have replaced this unit with a Garmin. The CatEye is not very accurate, and the average speed feature is a joke.

I don't see why not. It has been excellent on a cruiser (with 21 gears) which I ride daily sometimes up to 20 miles on a single day over roads/trails you wouldn't think of going on a Road Bike. I have had it up to about 35 MPH . No. I don't have the legs of King Kong. But It does not cause any resistance like the generators and it is easy to read. One complaint by others to be warned about is the instructions are not great, but I was able to figure it out reasonably quickly. I've been using it about 6 months and the battery has not had to be changed so far. Ta

It has worked great for Me. I do not use it for mountatin use though. It is on my commuter bike. It definitely seems to be well built.

I use mine with a moderately priced commuter bike, but I think it would work. The coupler goes between the bike frame and the nut that holds the rear axle on, on the axle without gears, so I suspect it would work with almost any bike. Personally, I don't know that I would use a road bike just from the riding position (you'll be looking over your shoulder a lot at first) and the limited low range options for gears. Mountain would be much better suited.

We have mountain tires, and there is a bit of a sound, road tire should be a little better. We like it, and it's a cheap and versatile option.

It is probably a little higher tooth count than you would want on a road bike, it will work, but it's designed to go up steep hills in a off road setting with 34-36T. Road bikes are made for speed instead of climbing offroad terrain. Hope that answers it for ya

Not really, but a really tough street tire and good for touring, I have used them on a couple of my bikes for several years and have never had a flat. Currently running them on the streets of Eastern LA, CA and they have never let me down. They are hard to mount the first time and I recommend some really tough levers, I broke a whole set of cheap ones before splurging for a good set.

I would say it's 2 times better. It has a low profile for the big low touring bikes. It is real steady. Had mine over 3 years. My bike is on the jack as I speak.

I have two fairly high end mountain bike (Scott Spark 940 and Niner Air 9) and neither of these bikes are able to use the attachment. I haven't tried on my road bike but I am a little weary of hauling my kid on my carbon fiber road bike as I am not sure if the bike was designed for those type of forces.

Not bad but it also depends on what kind of seat you put on it. Ps this is not a mountain bike so dont expect to ram into the side walk without getting scrambled balls. No shocks here just a stiff ride which allows you to pedal and not lose momentum

Holds my road bike without a problem, seems quite well made, I really like it. I should think it would hold a tandem without much problem. Balance might need a little help if not centered well however.

Yes, dont buy if you will attach it to road bike or mountain bike. I returned mine after my phone damage, does not secure, get the bm works

On iBert's website, it says that it will work on a road bike so long as there is at least 13 inches between the drops. It seems, though, that even if it would fit, it would force the rider into the drops all the time, which wouldn't really be ideal for the kind of riding I'd expect to do with a toddler in front of me.

I use mine on a road bike. Many times Mtb skewers can be used on road bikes by simply cutting them down. Done it many times.

i chose the 54mm and it is larger than a bike store owner suggested, but it works for me. probably a 50mm or 52mm would be ideal if they have it. warning, any time you crash, you've got a good chance to mess up your handlebars, they're not very solid. cheap brakes, and take care of your wheels, they're easy to mess up too, can get out of true very easily in any crash/accident. i like my bike, it gets me where i want to go fast, but know that it is the cheapest option for a roadbike.

Yes, it works well for road bikes. I am able to get it to 160 so 120 should be no problem. Being smaller it will of course require more strokes to get it to pressure than a floor pump but it will take fewer than many of the mini road pumps including the Topeak Morph road pump. To get it to 160 I use both hands on the handle, one on top of the other. You might want to try this technique if you have trouble getting to 120.

They are not strictly "meant" for road bikes, because their open design is targeted towards mud clearance. But I use them on my road bikes so I only need one pair of shoes and they have a good range of float. I like them on my road bike.

No, these are made for mountain bikes so these would not be good choice for a road bike.
