Getting out of rehab. Need to use my bike for exercise. Will this work using my bike at home in this stand?

If your bike at home is 26" or larger yes. My bike is 24" and it was too small.

Wouldn't recommend it for a 2nd floor especially if you've got knobbies; it'll drive any downstairs neighbors crazy.

From my research, the dumbbells and their bases haven't changed over that period. They will work fine with this stand. Good luck! I love mines...and thanks for the tip, "Sly Vegas". I love the idea of adding on some locking wheels.

I would say yes if you have a leaning kick stand also, you would have to leave the center stand up. so the hoist will roll under the frame of the bike. If you don't have a leaning kick stand, You could have someone to hold the bike, once the stand is raised use tie down ratchet straps to hold the bike so It won't fall.

Absolutely. That is a must for me for almost anything I do from cleaning the chain to tuning up the bike. I love this stand and recommend it!!!

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

It is wobbly and I can not reall mess with the bike while it is on the stand

It's for holding the bicycle in place so it doesn't slide out the back, I would just say to not buy this product as it doesn't work with all bikes and isn't useful. Just get the more expensive bike repair stands that uses a clamp at the crossbar, way more useful.

Yes Steve the stand will work clamped to the seat post. I tried it on my road bike (19lb) and the stand was still stable even with the majority of the weight to one side. The wheel bar does telescope out to the front wheel when the stand is strap seat post. I was also able to turn the pedals and shift through the gears with no stability problems.

The front of the bike has wheels that will roll so you would have to lift and guide the bike from the back. As far as what it's designed for, it's probably meant to stay in one place because it is kind of heavy to be moving around often....unless you want to incorporate that into your workout...

Replace your bikes quick release with the one it comes with. Don't make it too tight when you screw it in. The ends nicely fit into the bike stands cups. You can adjust the tension on the back wheel. That too does not have to be tight - your gears make for the workout same as riding outside. I put the ike and stand on a yoga mat to reduce noise. I would not suggest using this in an apartment house. It will probably drive your downstairs neighbors crazy.

hi june, Not at all. The stand will support the bike, but not enough with the rider on it. Also, the wheels make contact with the stand, and does not allow for rotation.

My application was for a motorised bicycle. I used the stand to hold the back wheel off the ground for kick starting the engine.It broke after a few runs because it couldn't take my weight kickstarting a 50cc engine. I weigh about 150#. It is a very nice stand if you don't abuse it the way I did. The hinge housing is thin cast aluminum and it just split open. If that were of stronger material or was a thicker casting it might have held up. I hope that helps you to decide.

Yes this is how I use it most of time. Use the heavy-duty adjustment screws to lock it into any position you want. The stand works just great!

I don't think so. You might want to get a top plate off your old kick stand. You might need to go to a hardware store and find a washer that will hold it on your bike. This kickstand may not be tough enough for your liking but it has a top plate. Ventura Steel Double Leg Side Bicycle Kickstand

No, the stand is not designed to take the weight of the rider and bike. Only light maintenance is recommended.

I own a reformer without a stand and I used to take lessons on a Performer in a Pilates studio that was on a stand. I find exercising on either pretty much interchangeable - I don't think the stand is at all necessary.

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.
