How does this fair with mountain bikes?

I use the Topeak for my road bike and went with a sturdier design for my MTB... the EZ Bike Stand. The MTB fits in the Topeak but the base on the EZ Stand grips the 29'r tires better giving it less chance of falling.

One of our topeak stands is used for a mountain bike. Works great as long as the bike is "loaded in" straight. If it is at a bit of an angle, it is prone to falling over it someone knocks it. Overall, very pleased with the stands. Super easy to relocate stands as needed and to store away stands in the winter.

Poorly. That's what I bought them for. Mountain bikes are too heavy especially a downhill bike. They fall over easily. Good for a light road bike or kid's bike.

It works great. I use mine with both my mtn bikes. Tire size 26 x 2.10 and 26 x 2.35. Most of the time I use it to stand up a bike in the garage but occasionally use it out at the trails to hold my bike steady while I remove or put my front tire on.

Works as long as you load the rear tire of the MTB into the device. I started out loading the front tire (as my girlfriend at the time did) but recently switched to the rear due to the bike being prone to falling. It is early in the switch, but has worked so far without any falls.

I use for Scott road bike and also a Trek Mountain Bike. Works Great. Highly recommen and you can always return if you don't like!

It's actually not very sturdy, if storing inside probably ok. wouldn't leave my bike on it outdoors any wind would knock it over. Light weight & compact just not designed that well! Hope that helps

I found the cycle pro to be sturdy and well made. Additionally, I think the placement of the feet in the right way (level, solid ground ect) I think it would be right for a mountain bike.

It's pretty versatile. I have a road bike on top and a mountain bike in the bottom. Holds alright. The wight of the kid's bikes are perfect. The arms are adjustable.

I put up 3 mountain bikes at one time, one adult (male) and two teens' (female). It was not an easy task because the girls' bikes had a lower frame. I traveled about 20 miles (freeway speed) each way and the rack held up pretty good. The rack is for the 2006 Honda CRV.

Yes, definitely... we put two mountain bikes and a kids bike on ours with no problems... depending on the size of the frame, you might have to be a little creative, but you can definitely make it work.

GlennI tried it on mine and found that I had to constantly tighten it. The jarring on the single track around where I ride was too much for it. I would not recommend it for true mountain biking on single track.

I have not used this mount while mountain biking - hopefully other folks will be able to help.

in between mountain bike and regular tires. The bike is a pos though. I already returned it and went to a real bike store. Save yourself some aggravation, go to a real bike shop.

Yes, it can be; keep in mind that you do have three wheels, so you don't want to take this everywhere you can take a mountain bike. The only other thing I would recommend would be possibly upgrading the tires, if you plan on going through rougher terrain.

While I have not used this stand with a mountain bike I have used it with my 20+ year old steel framed commuter bike. It handles this this load with ease. Based on my own experience with the stand and what some of the reviews state, I believe it will support a mountain bike.

Yes, this bike works very well. I have not had any issues. Very stable and dependable.

Most of the bikes has a 9mm axle. It's an standard. I have 8 bikes (road and mountain) and I haven't had any problem at all.

Appears that way. I have two mtn bikes, two road bikes, male/female of each. It's a little haphazard, but they all fit.

Yes, they can be installed on mountain bikes. I think it'll be easier for them to be installed on mountain bikes compared to road bikes.

I have had this bike for a couple years. It works good. I had to do some adjusting on the gears when I first got the bike - but it has worked good for me. Good brakes too.

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.

I doubt it. Mountain bikes with big tires yes, but the really large tires for sand riding would ride on top versus sliding in for stability.
