When mounted to the wall, does it provide enough clearance to work on the bike freely, turn the cranks, move handle bars, etc? Any limitations?

I have mine on the corner/vertical 4x4 post of a set of shelves in the garage. I turn it around to get to opposite side. I'd rather this than a stand in the room.

I have it mounted on a 4x4 post and it works well for me. I don't see why it wont work mounted on the wall, may not be able to move the handle bars.

Hello! I bought this unit because I didn't want to use any floor space in my garage as with the tripod units. When fastening my hybrid commuter bike to the clamp, I had limited space behind the bike for adjusting and working. Also, my handlebars almost touched the wall. If I had to buy one again, I would get a freestanding unit.

If you clamp to the seat post or top bar the cranks spin fine. Depending how its mounted you may not be able to move the handle bars but there should be enough space unless the bars extra wide. I have this and have used the park tool wall mount and there isn't much difference.

I've used this clamp for a while now and it has a lot of adjustment room, no problems so far

I guess it would depend on the bike, you don't want the peddles to scratch the wall. I have mine set at 8 1/2 inches from the wall.

The front of the bike has wheels that will roll so you would have to lift and guide the bike from the back. As far as what it's designed for, it's probably meant to stay in one place because it is kind of heavy to be moving around often....unless you want to incorporate that into your workout...

It depends on the width of the handlebars. I actually mounted a piece of wood on the wall to span the distance of a few studs, as to not have the positioning of the studs dictate the spacing of the brackets. The you can mount the brackets whichever distance you want from each other, and not sacrifice support.

Yes, I have to so that I can turn my handle bars. It works just fine either way though (if you have the clearance).

I just mounted this to a Trek 6000. The only adjustment was to angle it towards the rear wheel so my leg on the pedal would not hit it while riding.

Yes, you can rotate the clamp to accommodate any style of bike so that it hangs the way you want it to. Nice bike rack, I love it. Simple to use.

the four supporting arms can individually be moved up and down the vertical column, allowing them to support bikes of different shapes/sizes. Just so you know, this thing is NOT free standing!!! It is sturdy but needs to be attached to a wall or it WILL fall over.

No, but if you hook it up the way it is suppose to the handle bars will move when you pedal. However there is a way to not connect the handle bars to the pedals.

I regularly use this for 3 mountain bikes. It took a couple tries to get each hook at the right height to get the bikes to "interlock" and keep handlebars and pedals from interfering. I think it's great that the bikes hang from their wheels.

The mounting screw increases the diameter of the mounting plug until the unit is snug in whatever handlebar you have. I'd be shocked if it didn't work for your application.

Can't answer your question because I had to modify the kickstand to accommodate the mounting bracket on my bike. I had to cut some off of the kickstand as well as grind a bevel edge. Awesome kickstand!!! Can't say enough good about it but in my situation I had had to make it work.

Yes...it can be mounted to the seat post. Depending on how you have your bike on the stand, the handle bar sometimes tends to turn to one side. You can put the steering holder on to keep the handle bar straight. I actually don't use it.

Sure, but the arms do angle down ever so slightly. Could hold several bikes -would use 2of them and would secire w/ bugee cords.

Hello, you may clamp it anywhere it will hold. But mainly to the Bike Frame.Thank you

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.

Yes you can. It stands vertically, and the feet curve out a bit to ensure that it won't fall away from the wall with either one or two bikes hung from it.
