Will the stand accommodate a tandem bike weighing 50# and 8 feet long

No. I put a mountain bike on it twice and the clamp broke in half. Very cheap quality

I'm not sure about an 8' long tandem, but it held my Fat Bike weighing 50lbs without any issues.. So the weight isn't an issue. That's a question I would submit to the manufacturer.. But If anything, you'd have to do a balancing actgetting it to sit correctly, have some one help you to load it then tighten it down.. Once it's clamped it shouldn't be a problem..

I kinda doubt it will stretch far enough for a tandem. A standard mountain bike fits nicely with the arms out as far as they go. I can measure if you need exact numbers

I've used this stand to service/repair my own bike, as well as the bikes of several friends and family members. I haven't yet come across a bike frame that this stand's clamp will not accommodate. I hope this helps.

I bought this stand for a 30" x 30" square and there is plenty of room for a bigger cage. The base is large so weight shouldn't be an issue either

It will hold 2 bikes at 50 lbs each. This is a heavy duty rack that only fits a 2" hitch. Full specs are here, http://hollywoodracks.com/bike-racks/hitch-racks/sportrider-hitch-rack-SE2-tech.htm

I don't own a 2 bikes stand, I guess it is 2 stands hold together by a bracket

It would be strong enough. However, the stand is not 47" wide. It is a very heavy piece and could handle a lot of weight.

I believe you want one bike stand and that will support two bikes. I have no idea what the two bike stand is for over $100.

While I have not used this stand with a mountain bike I have used it with my 20+ year old steel framed commuter bike. It handles this this load with ease. Based on my own experience with the stand and what some of the reviews state, I believe it will support a mountain bike.

I have a DH bike that weighs 45lbs and the stand works great with it. Check the park tool website to see if there's a weight limit before you buy.

I don't see why not I have a 42" on mine and it just overhangs the center part of the stand so a 50" would just over hang a little more but shouldn't overhang the entire stand.

The front of the stand measures 55 inches. It will fit but in will overlap a bit on each edge.

I can't speak for EVERY bike, but for the 3 road bikes I have used with this stand, YES.

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.

This is actually a stand to work on your bike. It is pretty strong but will not go up high enough to place a bike under it.

That's a pretty heavy bike, but I think the stand is heavy duty enough because it's all steel and all the weight is basically sitting on the bottom bracket. One thing you should know is it uses the little approximately 2" x 1" square opening I have seen kick stands mounted, and it has a T-bolt allows you to fasten the bike frame to stand just behind the bottom bracket. I hope that makes senseAlso, I would suggest drilling holes four legs and bolting the stand to four foot plywood square to stabilize it from tipping, etc. Hope this helps.

I am able to do it with my son's bike. It has 12" tires and is a small bike. I am not able to use my larger road bikes on this stand so that may impact if this stand is right for you.
