Can this stand be used to hold up bike for a tune-up or mechanical purposes?

Yes. I have mine secured against the garage wall, so I would have to flip the bike around if I had to work on something on both sides. You could also move the adjustable arms if needed. I have not used mine using it in the freestanding position, but I imagine that would be best for servicing.

It depends on how you have the bike mounted on the rack and the proposed work. If you have the frame supported by the rack arms, then yes you can do work on the other parts of the bike.

Yes, but not very good. I have actually done that but the bike would slip and move. The top tube on my bike is angled so it slipped to the corner where the top tube meets the head tube. It would work if you "tie" it down to the hanger.

Bolting it to the wall would make it more secure but I do not believe secure enough to do what you want. Mine in a place where I do not bump into it and thus far it has been fine.

Maybe if bolted to a post, but difficult to get to both sides and does not hold tight enough.

I would say yes for very minor issues only. The bike is not held securely in this stand, so the bikewill move considerably when attempting to loosen or tighten secure nuts/bolts.

I believe you could, but since I have watched a friend work on his bike I don't think this will give you the freedom to move around like a rack that is made for repairs. I would not buy it for that purpose.

It comes with a fastening screw and a bolt. I fastened mine to the drywall in my garage! So far so good! There is enough clearance higher up for the pedals to rotate whilst on the rack. Each of the arms (brackets) fit into the stem independently so you can have the bike at various angles. Hope this helps.

No. The stand will keep the bike upright. With the weight of a rider on the seat, it would tip over and probably damage your rear wheel. A proper trainer would probably be what you would need. Perhaps your could borrow one.

I made a brace for the front of my engine to help stabilize it. Also had to modify one side of the engine mount so I could install my large tube headers. Stand works great and is supporting an 800 hp bbc

If you have swingarm spools on the rear of your bike it will work. If there are none there should be threaded holes on the back of the swingarm to accept them. Buy the appropriate spools, use blue threadlock and screw them in. Search swingarm spools on amazon and get the correct thread sized spools for your bike...they are cheap. Then this rear stand will work fine

If you have a very light carbon/ aluminum bike then yes maybe. But it's probably best to use a rag or towel and have it clamp on the top tube. If you really need to clamp it to the seat post is recommend a sturdy park tools stand.

It will bolt up but this stand might be too short. Greenfield also makes one in 305mm for taller bikes.

Probably, however; I personally would not because it is a stationary bike with very little stability for NOT TIPPING OVER while standing. I DO NOT believe it was constructed for that purpose....that's IS WHY there are different settings for making it harder to pedal. You would get the same effect by increasing the more difficult settings.

It could be used as a stand. The stand and clamp seem plenty strong for that. The top of the stand will be several inches from the wall, which would allow for clearance of handlebars if the stand were placed against the wall.

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 know why not! The way this thing works is that the metal rod at the top of the stand replaces the rod that holds the back tire on the bike. This lifts the back tire up and enables the tire to have resistance applied.

It holds my GT Karakoram 3 29er just fine. It is a good, affordable stand. If you have an issue with the weight of your bike, you could always get a sand tube from your local hardware store and lay it across the legs.

This is pretty much a bike specific device. While you could use it for other purposes, I think it would be a forced application.

The stand has adjustable mounting brackets and the clamping bolt can be moved anywhere along its length. I would expect it to work as the mount is universal.

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.

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

I would assume so. this stand is designed for bikes that do not have the spool set up on the swing arm. in theory, it should work on any bike if need be.

Should work just fine. I use it all the time for older lugged bikes I rebuild. The weight don't seem to be an issue but I'm not sure if it would be a problem if you have a large top tube. Example if it's a square tube. Honestly I think it would work fine if you don't want to spend the money for a park tool stand.
