Hello, guys. I really want to know is this case stable enough when you go mountain bike? such as xc. thanks

I found that it worked great. To be honest over time (year) it started to vibrate more but certainly it did well for a good period of time. From talking to a lot of people these types of units (all makes) are about as good as each other but I certainly thought this is the best of the bunch. If you are doing a lot of high impact rides then I think it will wear down more quickly

I am considering to buy a XBR4 46" myself and I had a conversation with circuit city associates on this topic. I agree with Cheryl. As long as the stand could sustain 84lbs, you guys are good to go.

I routinely keep it in the same bike pannier as my laptop and have never had a problem. This is despite all the shaking it experiences when I bike-commute twice a day on bumpy city roads.

No idea on the bike. It fits most road bikes, so I think a mountain bike would be even easier with some disassembly. Another note - the latches are NOT durable, and the wheels don't turn on the case, so if you have to haul it a ways or through multiple airports I wouldn't recommend it. It's okay for occasional travel with your bike, and it's a good price for a hard case. Otherwise, no bells and whistles.

Its a good quality bag. I have mine strapped to my mountain bike and that has taken a lot of abuse. Recommend.

I haven't dropped mine, but the case deff feels durable and sturdy. You should be safe against minor drops.

I think it will be fine. Depends what type of riding you're doing though. The front shock doesn't really matter. Your weight is over the rear, which has adjustable rebound. I pretty much torture tested this bike DH'ing which led to it's eventual failure. I wouldn't really recommend riding it the way I did. For XC riding or short commutes you should be alright. Hope this helps!

well i bought a shimano next mountain bike from someone, and i don't know if it was my weight or bike, but the back part that guides the chain as you chain gears bent and broke the spokes, so now i am in the same boat. I only weight 230, and i have lost weight, but walking hurts my knees and feet, so i am wanting to ride to get more of a cardio work out. any suggestions?

GlennI tried it on mine and found that I had to constantly tighten it. The jarring on the single track around where I ride was too much for it. I would not recommend it for true mountain biking on single track.

I carry to mountain bikes, no problem except for mounting them so both fit. I hang one like the instructions (horizontal) and the other vertical and tie them with bungee cords to the ladder so they don't shake. Also, when assembling be aware there are left and right sides. I installed mine wrong the first time.

Was good for most rides. However, when the trail became very bumpy my experience was very different. I ride a small frame, so spacing and clearances are very limited. In bumpy conditions, the action of the rear suspension allowed the bottom of the bottle to rub the tire, damaging the attached cage and releasing the bottle.

I would not recommend this stand for a mountain bike especially a full suspension if you have one. First off the stand isn't as stable as it should be and must be placed on flat ground or it will tip over. Second, I had trouble rotating the pedals when my road bike was on it since the pedals would always hit the vertical tube.

Thanks all. I purchased it. Now it is time to find a mountain bike fitting for it. Any suggestions?

if you use the chest strap and waist strap it should not move around too much at all, I use mine for hiking and fishing, but I know a guy who mountain bikes with his and has no issues.

I just received my 1200IS a couple of days ago and completely forgot about a case. I saw this one and reading your comments totally answered my questions regarding fit. Thanks.
