Does this front tree stand wobble or seem unsteady? I only plan to use it for personal use, but would rather not bump it and have the bike tip over.

They work fine but remember to never use a front stand unless the bike is on a rear stand they don't work right and your asking for trouble if you try it.

So far the front tree stand seems good. I give the bike a good shake and there is very little wobble and sturdy enough to work on. Haven't had a problem with it yet. I grabbed the Venom fork and rear stands with this as well. The rear stand is good, very solid. But the fork stand bent slightly and the rubber pads lost traction after only a couple of weeks so the bike just kind of rolls off of it. Overall, the tree stand is good for the money and the rear stand works good as well, but maybe look elsewhere for a fork stand.

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.

Seems perfectly solid. Had the forks off of my bike for about two months. Even sat on te bike with no issues. Great product.

Very stable I believe. I have a 2008 yamaha r6 and it is planted. It won't fall down unless you plan on tackling your bike.... A good buy in my eyes.

This stand is great and the bike is perfectly stable. See you tube for how to use it before you try it on your bike. I used it with a rear stand and left the bike on my back porch for days with the front and rear wheel at the tire shop for days and did not worry at all because it is that good. Buy it and you will be happy and it comes with a bunch of different sized pins to fit in your fork stem.

Not at all I've used it for winter storage and repairs. My bike is about 410lbs and it's perfect and sturdy

It is very stable, you just have to select the correct size neck pin (which it comes with several) then your set. I have used mine so much I purchased a second one so I can have two projects going at the same time. I highly recommend there stands.

As far as the stability, I haven't noticed a wobble. It' a good bench and have been very pleased with it. My fiancee' and I use it often and it affords a variety of uses. We have an Olympic set that is very compatible.

No problem at all. Very stable. I'm very pleased with the Bikehand. Good value and stores nicely.

The stand is stable. It works great for my kids bikes (ttr-125 & ttr-125 big wheel), but in my opinion, it is too small for my bike. I have a DRZ-400 and it is hard to get the tires off the ground without some adjustment and even then, they barely come off the ground. Great for smaller bikes, not so great for bigger bikes. Good quality and price, but if I had to do over, I would buy something to get my bike a little higher. Hope this helps!!!!

I have not had it wobble. It is fairly stable. I rarely extent it all the way up. It would depend on the weight and lens size.

Not likelyThe fork is held stable, but everyhing else flexes as if on the road.I'm not an engineer, but I don't see sny issues.

I used this at a church dinner and it did not wobble at all. I used only 3 tiers at that time, but did not have any problem at all. I assembled it, but someone else put the cupcakes on it and they had no problem either. Hope this helps.

It will not tip over, but the upper towers are prone to snap off at the base. They are mounted with thin plastic inside of a cardboard tube. The plastic will give way and the upper parts snap off. Had this happen 3 times to 2 trees. Customer service only gives a 30 day warranty and say anything breaking after that is normal wear and tear. Garbage!

It was difficult for me to get on and off due to seat height and my limited range of motion, so it felt wobbly when getting on and off. Eventually used a step stool. However, once on the bike, it was very stable.

The wobble is a known issue with these saws. I fixed it by adding a piece of glide strip to the track. To be honest, I don't think the wobble hurts anything. I only fixed it because I obsess over dumb stuff like that. :-)

Yes the stand is sturdy, but if you give the bike a good push it may pop out of the stand and down goes the bike. Would not trust this stand with young children

Wind will be a problem, it is not sturdy. We love it but it is more decorative than anything. I find the bolts loosen with frequency and need to be tightened regularly. Nice piece though. Hope that helps.

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???

as others have noted, you do have to pay attention when rotating the bike to other positions. Sometimes just re-clamping the bike at a different spot in the frame can make a big difference. I suspect there are sturdier ones out there if you want to pay more. I didn't and the stand has worked just fine for me. (I'm about to overhaul my 3rd bike on it.)

I do have a little wobble of my yakima rack, maybe 1/2 to 3/4 inch (?) at the most. I do not find it an issue for me. I have had 2 bikes on the rack for a trip of 8 hours straight one way and did not have any issue with the rack feeling like it was bouncing back and forth. The pin has stayed in place and I have not felt as though I have needed to re-tighten the bolt. The moveable wheel base on the rack, I do retighten from time to time. I got a yakima hitchlock to use on the bolt (although you do have to play with it a little to get it to lock). I feel better about leaving the rack on the car unattended and not getting stolen, but I also feel like it is one added safety feature to keep the bolt from coming off. And an FYI, I have had problem with getting the arm to 'lock' good when it is on my bike and have had it release as soon as I am taking off in the driveway. I have been able to avoid that issue with using a bike lock around my mid bike to the rack that holds the arms that slide up and down. With using that, I have had no other issue and have never had a bike come loose while on the road. If you have more play than what I described, I can only suggest going to a local bike shop to see if they can help you troubleshoot the issue. I hope this helps.

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.

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.
