does the front wheel have any wobble/shake when running (running, not jogging)?

I've never experienced wheel shake when running, with wheel unlocked or locked. Very well made stroller, we love it!

Thanks for your question.. no, my Mouse scroll Wheel doesn't have any wobble. But it does make a slight noise once in awhile, when scrolling. Other than that it is fine and works very well.

Yes, but I have noticed when I jog with it locked it seems to pull to the side a little. I normally run with it unlocked and it doesn't have a wobble like I have encountered with other joggers.

I have never used that stroller and I am also not a serious runner, but the front wheel on this doesn't swivel. I love my single bob which does swivel. It's light and moves well, but I would get the swivel.

When I first used the stroller the front left wheel shook like crazy. It seemed like there was too much room between the wheel and the bar it fits onto. My husband just wrapped some masking tape around the bar and slipped the wheel back in place which made the wheel nice and snug. No shaking since!

I have had these tires for over a year and have not experienced any wobble problems. I have a Honda Rincon and the highest speed that I do is 50mph. If you get a wobble above that I wouldn't know.

No, it is fixed and this is the only issue with the cart. When locked in place it gives a leftward bias. We only walk with it so it is not a real issue and anyway your weight will mostly be on the handle thus slightly lifting the front wheel and negating the issue. You turn by directing the rear wheels anyway, meaning subtle inputs from your hands. It is beautifully balanced i should add!

My front tire was really hard to turn at first but it eventually loosened up. I am not sure about the shaking though - mine doesn't shake. I would call the company - it is too much money not to work properly.

Hi Gary, I had a spare piece of 2x4 (about 22 inches long) so decided to test this. Initially, I heard some squeaking, but I adjusted the placement of the 2x4 more towards the front of the machine and that stopped. I noticed a very slight wobble side to side but it seems stable enough. I do just walk at the moment, so I'm not sure if the wobble would become more pronounced if you jog / run/ Even with just a 2x4, the incline is noticeable when compared to yesterday's 'workout. I'm loving the incline - thanks for the idea!

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

Yes, they do shake occasionally, but it doesn't affect the performance of the stroller... I remember my umbrella stroller I used for my children doing this (shaky front wheels) back in the 70's so I wasn't concerned at all when I saw that my Pet Gear stroller did the same thing. :)

Oops. Sorry. I thought you were asking about a different model. This is a good treadmill. I walk on it at 4 mph and there is no rattle or anything so I don't see you having a problem running on it.

I own both the Ironman Dualie and the Revolution Dualie (and coach cross country) and have found that the revolution is more run worthy than I thought it would be. I fun with the front wheel free, as the fixed wheel doesn't hold a line well, and the free wheel is so easy to steer, particularly with the heavier load. The only scenarios where I have minor issues are on routes with meaningful hills, as the revolution has no hand brake, and when running faster than 8 minute miles over bumps. If the front end comes off the ground at faster speeds the wheel drifts and when it comes down catches momentarily before straightening out, which causes a sudden deceleration. Not an issue at jogging speeds, but something to watch for. That said I trained for my first marathon with the Revolution. The Ironman is awesome for trails/off-road that's stroller worthy, hills, and for running on paved trails. I ran our neighborhood with it for two years and you adapt to steering with the front wheel up pretty quickly. In either case, keep track of your load weight and adjust the shock setting when you exceed 50 lbs.

I have not had any squeaking with mine. I use it at least twice a week (I have other equipment that I alternate it with), I run on it and it has been fine. Money well spent! I weighed 230 when I first started using it, and I have now lost 25 pounds. I hope that this helps you.

It has two swivel wheels as pictured. I have not jogged with it yet, but I can see it being decent to jog with.

I do not have any wobble in my PPR200X. It is set up on a 1/2 rubber mat over a carpeted floor which may be why it doesn't wobble.

You have the option to let the front wheel swivel or not. There is a latch on the front wheel to keep it stationary or to let it pivot for easy maneuverability.
