it is rated for 200lbs but reading the reviews it can't be what can the clamp actually hold when its turned 90 degrees?

It can hold two hundred pounds of direct weight no problem and can push more then 200 of force but if you turn it 90 degrees and projects very far obviously it will just pivot..

I wouldn't trust it for that much weight. Even if the legs can support it, the clamp may not. But, I have never attempted a bike that heavy, so I can't swear by this, just my opinion.

I believe it is "rated" at 150lbs. It's pretty big! So it should take 90lbs no problem.

Sorry, based on my experience no. It has to do with both the shape of the "hooks" and the way they are tightened. (There is only one thumbscrew and the "hook" due to leverage or weight of what you are trying to hold moves too easily.) Hope this makes sense. But I am sure it will not hold anything tight enough at 90 degrees.

That distance is adjustable. I would give you the range but I'm out of town for another couple of weeks. It's a good clamp but I think I would spend a little more and get one that self adjusted. Good luck.

On the back of the bench, which lists the safety specs, it states 200lbs. It may be sturdy for a bit more but I wouldn't go past the recommendations if you want the bench to last.

It's rated for about 20lbs. You can find the exact rating in its manual, which you should be able to find as a PDF if you google it.I'd anticipate it being able to hold considerably more than 20lbs.

If by that you mean in a fashion *other* than having the weight centered around the clamp, yes it can. None of my bikes weigh more than 21 pounds or so, but I've had bikes secured upside down, at weird angle, almost at the bottom bracket clamping on the seat tube, etc, and it does the job just fine. The handle used to clamp down can take awhile to get tightened properly, but never gives me the impression it would overtighten and break. So essentially, yes if you are doing other things that involve positioning the bike awkwardly you will be fine. It won't let you simply swing it into position like a good shop stand, but it can be locked into place just about anyway you like!

The black jaws of the clamp appears to be sturdy plastic--I thought it was painted steel of some sort til I took a knife to it. It's held my 45 pound mountain bike and spun through a full 360° stopping at various points to work on it.

I do not know. It handles me at 180 plus 10 pounds of extras with no problem.

I believe they set a 300lbs limit but as we never used it I can tel you that from the look of it and it's weight it seems too flimsy for holding that weight

Difficult question. Tested up to 180 pounds! The manufacturer should be able to reply correctly

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 would say it is capable of bending to 90 degrees. However, it will take tremendous amount of effort to do so and it will be dangerous

I can't tell you for sure what the weight limit is, however, it will handle the weight of a 200 lbs individual.

It seems to be designed for a 90 degree angle and mount. Not sure if your question is answered, but I would not suggest trying to take it past 90 degrees . . ..JUST LOOK AT THE IMAGE. . . . clearly, it is a 90 degree bracket. Good Luck.
