Do any of you use this with a fat bike?

I use the horizontal bar and it is one and half inch diameter.Its a road bike.The way this stand is built, You will not have any problem. Very stable.I fine myself cleaning the chain and components more frequently because it so easy and fast..

I use mine to work on a Specialized Epic Comp and also Gary Fisher Mtn. Bikes. I don't see why it wouldn't work for a fat bike. In my experience, the main difference is the size and obvious weight of the tires, bike cross bars are similar. I would be perfectly comfortable putting more weight on mine, say 5-10 pounds per bike and not have an issue with the stand. That would bring it to around 30lbs which is what most Fatboys weigh. Not sure if that helps you

I do but i clamp the top tube instead of the seat post. (Instructions say to clamp to tube on every bike) all the other bikes i use the seat tube.

We do not use it with a fat bike. However, we do maintenance on my cruiser on the bike rack and sometimes the weight of that on the stand is a little iffy.

should work fine. has a lot of adjustment and although light, should be good for 20 lbs or better.

personally, I do not recommend this unit. the unit is all joined by plastic units that break as soon as you put any pressure on them..

I don't believe it would fit the fat tire bike, because it may not reach the floor.I had to bend mine to reach the floor with 26x2.15" tires.The width at the narrow part is around 2.5" on the inside.

the fat tire won't be a problem. to see if it will fit on any bike, take a look at your rear fork. just above or to the side of the slot where the rear axle mounts, you need to have a tapped hole (most bikes have 2 holes, both are tapped the same). that is the primary mounting support, if you have that set up then you are good to go. no, this carrier is not flimsy, it will easily and safely support its rated load.

Yes, I use it in my trailer as well as the garage. Makes it real easy to strap the bike down in the trailer.

The narrower slots are 2" wide and the wider slots are 5 1/4" - so if the Fat Tire bike is well-secured, it should work. Hope this helps. :-)

I think you can probably make it work. The rack is wide, and the height is easily adjusted, so I don't think fat tires would be a problem. The front stays swivel and extend where they connect to the rack, so you have a lot of options there even without bending anything. If you want to connect directly to the hub, I think you could do it by replacing the lower hardware with some kind of kludge (the standard hardware is narrower than the axle, so I'm skeptical about drilling it out).

I never try it, but if you use is for long distance ride, I suggest you to buy another one cause this one's wheels is a little bit wider. It probably make you harder.

I have one mounted on fat bars on a Felt full suspension bike and the mount is good enough. The Felt model has a funny name like redemption or ridiculous. The piece that holds the spray is not super strong and very sharp bumps to little jumps can cause it to pop out.

You can use it. However it is not designed to quickly place the bike on and off of it.

I have two mountain bikes, a Schwinn and a Specialized, and it works great on both. It stays still when you go over bumps and it works great for carrying a cell phone and a bike wrench set.

When I removed the regular seat from my Schwinn exercise bike, i had everything I needed to mount the Hobson split seat. No problem. I don't know if this would be true for other brands of exercise bikes, but it worked with no problems on my Schwinn.

I use this w/ my Dakota 20 on my bike. But I had to add a bit of foam tape to get a secure fit.

I had lower brazons and tried to use the u bolts on the front fork of a Marin bike with disc brakes and big tubed fork. I got it to work but not as intended to. At best I could carry light loads, but nothing I would feel safe touring with.

Yes, I weigh 275 lbs and I have rode the bike for months with no problems. I have actually added a basket on the back with an extra 80 lbs of weight [not recommended by Huffy] and didn't have any problems.

I only used mine with 3 bikes, but I had no problems with that. We went off road a bit too and everything was held in place swimmingly
