A store employee warned me that the beam racks sway from side to side on turns. Any idea if this is true?

I have no problem with the rack/ MTX Trunk Bag EX combination if you keep the clamp tight ...good quality

Yes, to alleviate this, make sure seat post is free of grease & dust. It also depends on how much weight you have in the back. I've mastered giving it a nudge to put it back in alignment while riding...A minor inconvenience on a less than 50 mile ride. If you're going to be planning and extended trip I'd suggest a fixed rack. I bought the Topeak 29'er rack which also accommodates the MTX trunk bag.

I found this to be true. The fix is to use a hex wrench to over tightening the quick release which makes it useless but the rack won't sway.

I returned it. There was way to much sway. I will probably buy a new proper fitting rack

There is a center support beam. I am using a split boxspring, just measure and make sure it fits on the frame. There is not problem with my box springs, no wiggles, etc.

I don't understand what you mean by "the table top slants downward" - do you mean front to back or side-to-side? Mine is level in all directions so it's possible that the bolts under yours are loose and/or have shims (washers) incorrectly installed. The framework under the top should be level; if not there many be a manufacturing error.

The equipment is not square so it wobbles when being used, especially when using the front of the tower. I.e. the dips and VKRs. I am smaller in weight so it's fine for me but my husband is 160lbs and its more unstable for him.

You'll see in a couple of reviews that they claim it wobbles. They just didn't put it together correctly. If it wobbles you must loosen the bolts, get it level, stand on the legs, and tighten the bolts again. If your floor is level and you tighten the bolts properly then this unit is rock solid. Now if you're asking if it gives when doing dips then the answer is no it does not. There is no movement when using this dip station.

They rotate. To be honest this thing is awesome. Its like a tie rack for spices. Haha.

mine wobbles a bit too. I believe the grinding mechanism is soft mounted to reduce stress on the parts, and that means a bit of movement when working. I don't believe either of us has anything to worry about.

I had one of these flip over in a little wind storm. Broke the glass and I couldn't find a replacement anywhere. Upon further inspection I noticed that the frame had also bent along with the top. I ended up just replacing the whole thing. No I leave them tipped over on their side when not in use in the windy months. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I purchased this pull up station for about 3 months now and at first you really do need some adjustment to the power you decide to use. I fell over a few times because I overpowered what the stand could hold. If you do them slowly then there is no problem, but you have to refrain yourself from swing left and right because that will shake the whole station. Hope this helps!

Yes there is a stopper mechanism that sends the light rail the opposite way of the direction it is going. I use 2 small($1 @ any hardware store) C clamps on the rail to trigger the stopper within my needed light range. I remember it coming with stoppers but I think the ones out of the factory box can only be put on certain spots.

i'm not sure what to tell you....or how u attached your rear rack, because mine is almost vertical when i attached it to my bike just exactly like the picture....maybe u should ask for an exchange. 20-30 degrees of tilting (either up or down wards) i believe is not right. good luck.

I'm considering a Bowflex, and have the same issue. Do you think it's possible to tilt the machine back, insert the vertical beam, then return it to a vertical position and screw the parts together? Thanks.

The mount will swivel side-to-side, in addition to swinging-up. (I have one of these units installed)

The rack stil wobbles. I use the screw in hitch pin as well as the lottery pin and it moves. There is play between the hitch and the receiver so it slides in. No way around it. The screw doesn't alleviate the rocking. That being said I've had no issues with the rocking. Yet. Some day I suspect the metal could break from wear and fatigue.

There are locks on two wheels. So when you assemble make sure one of these wheels go on each side. There is no way that it will sway.

Yes, it swivels about 270 degree arch for me. Am sure if there is space behind our bar it will do a full spin.
