Does this stand have "rotating clamp locking levers" some other stands say they do. Also, will it work well with a 40lb MTB?

I believe so to the clamps. Inset with a 33 lb mtn bike. It can get tippy esp if the height adjust is full out.

Yes, as I recall it does have a locking clamp that can be rotated. As far as holding a 40 lb bike I'd look elsewhere - the clamp tube and clamp mechanisms are made of plastic and did not hold up well... a tripod-type stand might be better.

I would not recommend this stand for a mountain bike especially a full suspension if you have one. First off the stand isn't as stable as it should be and must be placed on flat ground or it will tip over. Second, I had trouble rotating the pedals when my road bike was on it since the pedals would always hit the vertical tube.

It comes with a mount that will rotate at 90 degree increments so you can mount to the bars or your stem. Its a great cycle comp, ive had a few and this is by far my favorite.

Can anyone who owns this stand please tell me if you can turn the pedals 360 degrees while the bike is mounted on the stand? I'd like to use it to adjust my derailleurs. Thanks in advance for your time and help.

No, only the actual bike clamp has a lock. You will have to cable lock the rack to the cross bar.

I did not keep the clamp on bike rack. Was not worried about it holding our hybrid mid size tire bikes. The one I received was defective. You can raise or lower the arms that hold the bikes but the holes were missing that you put the pins in to lock it open. I do think I would have bought another but decided on another option for our trailer.

This stand is difficult to keep a constant balance. You have to adjust where you clamp it to what part of the bike your working on. It's a good stand for the price tho

As the other fellow riders/ home mechanics you have to make sure the quick releases are tight enough other wise will not be secure. and also course if is tilted to far away with a heavy frame of a mountain bike will not be to stable I have 5 bikes 2 are mountain bikes but I have to make some adjustments, this is not a park-tool stand but will do the job.

Yes you can spin the wheels. I kid you not. This stand is solid. Very professional. I thought about the price also and the quality. You will be happy with this stand. If you don't like it you always have the option of returning the item, but I seriously doubt you will when you assemble the stand, and see how sturdy the bike stand is.

They are not clamps at all, but actually spring loaded levers that you pull away from the basket to install on rack. I've had this mounte on 2 various racks and it appears to have at least 2/12 " width distance fully extended on each side. Just make sure the rubber clamps line up on rack; or it will move around a little with heavy load. It's very sturdy and springs have a lot of tension, so once it's on your bike it's there to stay until you release it to carry in the store. Nice quick release rack basket.

They haven't been an issue for me, but I adjusted the horizontal cross arm with the clamp on it out pretty far. I mainly did that so I can run the pedals and shift gears with the bike on the stand without the pedal on the stand side running into the vertical bar. I guess the added benefit of adjusting the bike farther away from the rack is that it keeps the stand legs out of the way also. The stand they show in the picture does not have the legs fully extended. When they are, it's a really wide base and I haven't had any issues with it wanting to tip over. I'm usually putting a MTB with 29" wheels on it so it's pretty heavy. I've also used the stand in my back yard on uneven surfaces and it's still pretty solid.

The clamp opens up pretty big, I have a ciomfort bike with a large top tube it easily accomodates, so probably yes, if not the clamp rotates and you can hold it by the seat tube, good luck

If you are wondering if the clamping head turns easily with the bike in place, it doesn't it's very secure.when the bike is in the clamp you can also rotate the bike just make sure have a good hold on the bike so it doesn't fall over. When there is no bike in the clamp it is very easy to rotate and locks down securely,

I use this stand with my CBR1100xx which is 500+ lbs and it seems perfectly stable to me. I was surprised at the quality for the price. I would not hesitate to purchase again.

I use it on my front tire and it is very stable. I have not had any issues with this stand and I use it with my road bike with thin wheels.

David , I feel this is a good stand and should work well, Just remember if you lift the rear, the front wheel needs to be locked and blocked so it will not slip to the right or left and will of course not roll forward off the stand. I would also try to stabilize the bike right to left considering the width, bags, guards, lights.I dropped a 19" wheel and the height of the stand allowed me to remove the wheel at a slant. good luck and be safe.

This is the primary mechanism for holding your bike to this rack. The bike rests on its crank housing. The bolt drops down behind the crank housing between the rear fork, and the T "handle" braces the bike onto the stand when you tighten the bolt into place with the plastic handled nut & washer. Incidentally, I do not recommend this stand for mountain bikes. The thicker frame is too large for the upper support to tighten around. For any kind of bike, if you're going to use a working stand often, invest in something better than this.
