Does anyone have any idea why this wobbles quite often? The rack is completely level, all bolts are in the correct spot-- all bolts tightened perfectly... yet, the rack wobbles, even if i poked the rack with my finger; it wobbles ... Anyone have a...

Never had a problem, perhaps you tightened some of the bolts too early and caused it to be out of shape a bit.

When i first started using this rack I had to re-tighten the Allen screws that hold it to the bike a few times...I noticed if I got too much speed downhill or in the wind the rack could move causing an imbalance...once I got it adequately tighened down I havent had this problem.

I've done various bread mixes and shredded veges, with no wobble at all. I am using the heavy glass bowl that came with it. Not sure if that helps. I LOVE my mixer!

My bike rack does not wobble however we had trouble getting the bolt all the way in too so it is in as far as we could get it

No it is not normal. The seat sits firmly on the rack provided. Either the suspension is broken or the seat material is too soft.

Actually, there must be something extraordinary taking place. I am using the clamp as you mentioned and it is a relatively tight fit without a lot of wobble. There is supposed to be a brass/bronze bushing in the hole in the clamp, if it is no there then it would be very wobbly.Hope this helps.

In my experience, the rack wobbles very little. A well-designed knob tightens the shaft of the rack against the inside of the receiver. Then, a safety pin inserts into a hole through the receiver and into one side of the rack shaft. The locking mechanism is pretty clever. After the rack is installed and the knob tightened to your satisfaction, a key is used to disengage the tightening knob such that it rotates freely. That way, while the system is quite easy to install and to remove, it is not easy to steal because the knob simply rotates freely until the key is used to re-engage it with the tightening mechanism. Very simple design, very effective. My only concern with the design had been that the shaft doesn't sit very deep into the receiver at all. I was really worried that it almost seemed as it if couldn't possibly hold. Nonetheless, in use, it has worked very well and it never loosens or slips, even after long trips. I'm thoroughly satisfied. It's are superior to the previous system that I had been using.

Not sure. My rack is wobbly. I wound up getting bungy cords and wrapping around unit to make it more stable. Not the most comforting feeling when you have 3 keyboards sitting on an unstable frame.

You raise a good question and in my response you should take into account that I have had my wine rack for just about four months. So far I have not had any sagging of the shelves or other distortions of the frame. Prior to answering your question I took a close look at my rack and with the strength of my right arm deliberately stressed a fully loaded shelf and did not notice any sag or other movement. My suspicion is that the wooden "bottle spacers" which run from front to back along the length of each shelf give it added rigidity.

I believe it is. I have had no problems at all and I do use it constantly. I have not found anything that is sub-standard about this rack, I really love it! Good Luck!

The rack can move as you hang and remove pots/pans etc. Since it's balanced in the center with just 2 lags in the ceiling it'll move as the weight shifts around. The rack itself is fairly heavy so the shifting isn't much, but yes it moves. You can pus it and it'll swing and such also. Given the weight, fully loaded it's very stable. You really have to hang it from studs or it'll be on the ground quickly! This beast is heavy, especially loaded up.

Have not noticed that. Maybe if pushed up on center from bottom?? But there was no wobble at all setting up or in use. I didn't get any movement from center at all. Was used on Berber carpet.

The instructions specifically state: Quote "The rack is not covered under warranty if mounted on the back of a trailer or fifth wheel." end quote.... Not much ambiguity in that statement ! and while I have a 2" mfg installed hitch, it wobbles side to side terribly (even WITH StowAway Cargo Carriers Hitch Tightener ). So it's the bike rack itself... while the mount is firm, the fold up connections and main crossbar has too much play in it... will try to replace the push pins with bolts to see if that helps, but not optimistic !

It might move a little with a full load of bikes but I have never noticed. Never concerned about the stability of the rack. Great product.

After about three years, I had multiple rust spots on mine. They were all small, but I didn't mistreat the rack and never had it in storage; I'm not sure why my experience was different from that of everyone else here. On the plus side, the rack was incredibly sturdy and useful, so I wasn't too troubled by the patches of rust.

Yes, I just got my bike and the seat wobbles a lot. I crammed some cardbd in where it appeared to be wobbling, but it only improved a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Mine did not wobble, but it did go dark after a few rounds.I think it's a glitz in the battery compartment. need to get it worked out.
