I put it on my wife's 26" bike but neither one of the trainning wheels touches the ground. The bike leans on one side and wont be steady. Is it right?

Depends on how much off the ground they are and if your wife has a tendency to lean all the way over on either side because they will bend

Mine didn't fit my kids bike because it had gears on the back wheel that didn't allow it to fit the one side. I tried to bend the one bar so it would touch correctly. It was really heavy gauge and difficult to bend. I couldn't get it to work for me. If you are able to bend them that may do, otherwise, you may need something else. My kids bike was only 20", so they may be too small for a 26" bike. Good luck on your decision. Eric

I put a set of Walds on a bike for my wife, too, and they turned out to be too flimsy and bent. I cannot honestly recommend them for larger bikes. However, my wife told me that she had ridden a bike as a child (she is from Germany) but she had apparently lost all memory of it. :) If your wife wants a bike to exercise with around town I would recommend you shop for a three wheeler. They are a bit more expensive but so are emergency room visits. Good luck.

If not close to weight balance, the bike will rotate. I havent tried to prevent that, but perhaps you can. In either way, the stand is sturdy so there is no risk for it falling.

mine wobbles a bit too. I believe the grinding mechanism is soft mounted to reduce stress on the parts, and that means a bit of movement when working. I don't believe either of us has anything to worry about.

Had it not been for your question, I would have never known that it wobbled, and I've had mine for over a year. I guess all I can say is as long as you followed the directions and use logical and appropriate weight distribution methods, the wobble should not be a concern.

I have two 29s that I put in this rack. It workss best if you load them with the back tire in the rack, side by side, and then use a strap to keep them from rocking too much. Without that, , the bikes will tip. With the strap, works like a charm.

I have no issues with the bike except it could have a tighter seat. Call a local bike company and maybe they could help you.

I had the same problem, my wheel was not centered either but it still worked fine for me. I had no problems using the wheel.

As I'd expect most bikes will be, when shipped, this one is NOT assembled 100%. The brakes and derailleurs are close, but I'd recommend some adjustment. The rest of the assembly is rather simple. You could also check with a local bike shop for their assembly charge.

I have a problem with the 2 back wheels. After we had snapped on the wheels, we noticed the carriage was uneven. It's minor, but I can feel it when u push it. My only suggestion is to undo the wheel and put it back on. If nothing works, just send it back for a replacement. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I just took a close look at my RAD trainer. It is my opinion that a nutted axle will not seat correctly. I would be afraid the bike would slip out and cause injury.

Make sure you have the rack installed properly in your hitch. It seems like it goes either way, but it doesn't. This happened to me, and I reversed the position and now it is as solid as a rock. We put two mountain bikes on with no problem, but they have to face opposite directions. Also, the rack pivots down if you pull the lower lever for ease of getting the bikes in the holders.

If it is not broke you just turn it to the right one number at a time. It may be very tight. Mine was tight and I just loosened it up a bit. It will turn easily and feels like it wo't turn but it will. Just turn it to 2 and ride it to see if the adjustment was made. I ride at 3 most of the time unless I am training for a race then I ride on 4. I am 66 so I am not into making my legs that much stronger. It may be broke but I doubt it if it is new. I love my unit and I have over 5,000 miles on it.

Yes - but for even a 26" bike I needed to cut the legs down to a reasonable length so the bike would become stable. It took me about 5 minutes with a hacksaw... no problems as it's soft alum. and by the way you can pick up extra rubber feet at any home store cheap if needed. Best of luck The reason I ordered it was because I use dual rear paniers and the bike fell over with a single kick stand once loaded!

I have three of these racks, all of them supporting heavy "beach cuisers" in vertical positions. I would suggest mounting the rack at a height that allows the bike to rest on the rear tire, thereby taking some of the weight off the rack. This has kept a lot of stress off the rack(wall) as well as the front wheel. I've not had any visible damage to any of my front wheels.

The bars that the bike sitts on are 20 inches apart from the outside. If the frame is 20 inches long, where the bars will rest, it should work as it is. I tie the wheels to feep them from moving from left or right.

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.

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