Is this just for tuning bikes? Can I use it to store my bike, or will the front wheel be too free?

I use it for storing my bike because I don't want to use the "kick stand" everyday. The chain & back wheel will move freely. Great for lubing the chain. The front wheel will be on the ground & will not move. Hope this helps.

I use mine mostly for storing my bike but you can use it for both tuning and parking the bike.

Definitely YES you can use it for storage, and it will not free the front wheel..

the top of the base plate is exactly 1 inch off the floor (I just measured it with calipers). I think it would work fine to raise your wheel a bit, though if all you need is a riser, you might find a less expensive solution. If you also need a bike stand, then this could work just fine.

Not sure. I used it to help secure the bike, keep the front wheel from wiggling, etc.

I have a 2-bike floor stand. I cover my bike close to the rack, then lift the front wheel to put it in the rack so the integrity of the cover isn't affected. It's a sturdy cover.

You're probably good to go with a suspended rack IF you have a fender over your rear wheel. The bike frame plus the fender mounts will likely keep this bag away from your spokes.

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.

I put it in my old steel bike. I wasn't afraid to pry it apart a bit. In fact, I sneer at those who say folks like us can't just do that. I don't believe the frame weldments are particularly precise to begin with, so it's not a big deal in my mind. You just have to be sure to position the wheel so that the brakes and lower fork don't rub and you're good to go IMO.

Bike is Suspended by Nylon Rope to the ceiling. I believe if anyone really wanted Your Bike bad enough, this Hanging /Storage System would NOT prevent them from doing that? You could However remove a wheel and keep it inside or pad Lock Wheel before raising it up! Cheers! Curt &gt;~iii~&lt;( sure freed up a lot of room in My Garage!

I just tried it with a wheel. And it worked. Looks like should be fine with the whole bike too.

Hey J I park this at a rack with the rear tire in the rack. The bike rack is a poor design. I put the U lock through the frame and rear wheel and to the rack and use the cable to secure the front wheel. It works great. You should have no problems locking it to a rack or a pole or post.

None. I use it for that purpose 95% of the time. I store my sons BMX race bike on it.

I don't really know, but if it is big enough to fit the bars, it will stay as it's doing a "nose wheelie" or you can hang it by the frame at the front of the bike and by the seat "nose" on the other side.

There is a different device offered for $199 which is a large wheel. It attaches to one side of the rear wheel of your bike. It turns it into a tricycle of sorts. I think this would suit your needs better. Check for handicapped bike attachments. This wheel will be morecle,

you can take the training wheels off and it'll be a bike but I don't think you can take the pedals off and make it a balance bike for one it would be too high

It's actually a useful little gadget to stabalize the bike by holding the handlebar. Unfortunately, the main clamp has a plastic piece that is not strong enough to hold the bike firmly. Until they fix that, I would look elsewhere

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...

Hi James, I would recommend using it. You might be able to get away without it, but it sure makes life easier and keeps the weight of the bikes more evenly distributed.
