does this really help with single track mountain biking on a hardtail?

It does exactly what you hope it would, takes a little of the shock out of what is coming up through the seatpost. It is not a substitute for a full suspension rig.

Sorry Brittany I don't do off the trail Ridding. But for Road Riding it comfortable for me.

This has been a really a good investment For Me. I'm in my fifties though and average six to twenty miles of trails depending on the route. Like the feel and control from a Hardtail and this thing made it a lot more comfortable. Also have a Short tail model on another bike, recommend that too. These are well built and have not had any problems in two year. That them apart and clean them at the end of the season. Recommend the boot too. David

I have herniated discs in my lower back and this has helped me tremendously.

Yes it make a big difference. I am in my 60s love to ride and makes it much better.

I regularly use this for 3 mountain bikes. It took a couple tries to get each hook at the right height to get the bikes to "interlock" and keep handlebars and pedals from interfering. I think it's great that the bikes hang from their wheels.

My 26" MTB has disc brakes, and this stand did NOT work with it. On the front wheel, the rotor leaned heavily on the stand support. On the rear wheel, the stand support hit my derailleur. I decided to go with another one-bike stand that I had already had success with and just place them side-by-side. The other benefit of that is you can offset them slightly if needed.

Yes I used it with several different types of bikes, road bikes, and heavy downhill bikes with out an issue. The only problem I had was that some of the mountain bike frames were to narrow for the head to get through and get grip on.

Its a great edition to my giant MTB, beings your running on a small frame it will raise the front ride height so be prepared. All in all it is a very compatible shock. Get your measurements right tho! So you won't be unhappy. also it only works with disc brakes.

I used it on a road bike build & it has worked out just fine for me. Not sure about a mountain bike.

Yes, the exterior "cage" that protects the clipping mechanism from dirt and other debris also functions very well as a platform to rest your feet on. Granted it won't feel as comfy as a completely flat pedal it will certainly do the job. I've ridden my mountain bike with these pedals around Hoboken, NJ many times with no issue.

Depending on how much weight you would be placing on it, it would probably work with just one track. But it's designed for 2 so that's what I went with.

Yes, it's a little tricky in snow when it's stock and honestly sucks stock.. That's why after my first trip up north I took the coaster brake off, put a mtb rear disc hub, an adapter for disc brakes, hydraulic brakes and a mtb crankset with bashguard on. After that it's awesome, its still SUPER HEAVY but fun, my friends love it also.. Hope this helps and doesn't discourage you!

Yes, there should not be a problem, when you buy the cable that is what you really have to look out for, make sure you buy Road bike break cable, the head is different for MTB and road. Make sure the bike is step up to brake not to lock up the wheels. Modulation not skidding is what you want in your breaks... Best of Luck, they have a neat feature on the front side, a small pin slides in and out to bring the lever a bit closer to the handlebar. Have fun and keep riding

I have taken it out on some very steep and rocky singletrack and it performs very well. I have not jumped yet.

This is a interrupter lever, it works in conjunction with your existing brake levers (Sitting between the current brake lever and the brake) it gives you two brake levers for a single brake.The lever would be compatible with both MTB and Road, but I cant imagine using it on any bike with flat bars.

I'm using it in a Nordictrack but I'd hold off if I was you. They have been having a nightmare since November when they upgraded their servers causing huge numbers of users (mine included) not to work reliably. Check out the ifit support pages not the headline posts but the users responses and make sure they've fixed it before you spend your cash.

Definitely, it just needs to have eyelets (also called braze-ons). This model is for bikes with rim brakes, not disc brakes, so be sure that your mountain bike has the right brakes!

I was a little timid on the only big downhill we did. You definitely must pay attention to braking earlier than on a single bike. Still glad I bought it so I don't worry about my wife keeping up.

I hadn't thought of the honing the position idea, but for this price, it might be a useful tool for finding your perfect position -- because it is adjustable, and it does allow experimentation.However, because it is fairly strong and secure, it can be used for a long time.I would caution against using this particular model on very rough fast downhill runs, though -- I use mine for urban commuting on flat terrain in northern NH on a mountain bike going over snowy and icy roads, because I wanted to be more upright in case of a slip-out. Works fine for that, and confirmed what I thought would be a better position.

Yes, it seems to. It works with both mine and my wife's mountain bikes. If you will be using it with more than one bike, make sure to buy an extra bike to trailer attachment(~$13). That way swapping the trailer from bike to bike takes no tools and virtually no time at all.
