Is the clamp onto the large bike very solid? Our main problem with our current trail-a-bike is that it's wobbly as heck no matter how tight we get it.

The clamp is tight, it doesn't have up n down movement but side to side will shift on bumps. I don't have experience with trail systems, but this is very stable to me.

Actually, there must be something extraordinary taking place. I am using the clamp as you mentioned and it is a relatively tight fit without a lot of wobble. There is supposed to be a brass/bronze bushing in the hole in the clamp, if it is no there then it would be very wobbly.Hope this helps.

I didn't want all the weight of the bike hanging on my expensive wheels, so I ran a strap through the wheel support and around the seat post. I just pull it up tight once I hang it and the weight is carried by the frame instead. If it's a mountain bike or heavy wheels in general, it shouldn't matter

Actually pretty solid. Just make sure you attach your bike correctly or there will be a lot of swaying!

As the other fellow riders/ home mechanics you have to make sure the quick releases are tight enough other wise will not be secure. and also course if is tilted to far away with a heavy frame of a mountain bike will not be to stable I have 5 bikes 2 are mountain bikes but I have to make some adjustments, this is not a park-tool stand but will do the job.

I think you may have it adjusted improperly. Is your vertical tube tilted in slightly? I mount all types of bikes on mine and have found it to be pretty stable.

No. The bike is supported/ hung on its crossbar and is secured by strapping the tie towns around the crossbar and the swing

Sometimes it does, but usually if you tighten everything up, it's fine. I think it has to do with how well you put the bike together, and the surface you have the bike on!Regardless, you should definitely buy this bike (or the 230) - I can't imagine a better bike for the money.

Hi Warren,Not at all! As a mattet of fact, i had to think about this for a few minutes. It has been a great bike! Highly Recommend!

I believe so to the clamps. Inset with a 33 lb mtn bike. It can get tippy esp if the height adjust is full out.

I have the model with the arms that lock on after you assemble. I have two bikes on mine and have had no issues with them slipping or moving. I was hesitant at first, but its worked great.

It's very difficult ... plus when I went to ride it on neighborhood streets here in Denver, unless I rode it in the middle of the street it always felt on the verge of tipping over! I ended up returning it. Sorry to be the bearer of this news as I really wanted it to work!

When i first started using this rack I had to re-tighten the Allen screws that hold it to the bike a few times...I noticed if I got too much speed downhill or in the wind the rack could move causing an imbalance...once I got it adequately tighened down I havent had this problem.

Not that I have noticed. The only thing that holds it on are nylon straps. It's very solid, last week we took 2 bikes on a 10 hour drive on vacation with no problems.

It is sturdy for sure, the problem is wether the clamp will make a good grip to your handlebars. I have it on my mountain bike and never really had a problem, though sometimes I just have to lift it a bit. Hope this helps

I found my seat had a wide range of adaptability...I used it on 2 different bikes so far and I only had to open the clamp a little wider on the second bike. Make it fit! it is an awesome seat!
