Has anyone had an issue with disc brake equipped mtbs?

I think I might have read about interference issues with older Shimano calipers. I've had 3 different bikes with Avid discs loaded with zero issues. The only issue you could possibly have would be interference of the tray and the caliper. Worst case, you could very slightly notch the tray where there was any interference (strong wire snips would probably be sufficient to clip the tray where necessary). The tray (especially at the fork mount point) really isn't structural, so this modification wouldn't affect the use of the bike mount. The copperhead is a great, inexpensive fork mount. I say go for it. I think I might have read about interference issues with older Shimano calipers. I've had 3 different bikes with Avid discs loaded with zero issues.

I ride a Trek- Rock Shox, disc brakes front and rear. ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS! This rack rules.

Disc brake mountain bikes work fine. I use my Gary Fisher with disc brakes on this rack every week. If you have hydrolic disc brakes, make sure to never pump the brakes when the wheel is off.

I did that with mine last year didn't seem to have any issues at with the brake wire on my trek domane road bike. This year I have it tighter to one of my water bottle cage spits works well! Just need to find another spot for another water bottle is all. Good luck

My bike had the exact issue. The part proform suggested was $500 and did not come with a guarantee that the issue would be fixed. The part cost more than the bike. Proform was horrible to deal with. They were insulting and unhelpful. I ended up spending a little over $500 for a new Nordic track. Love the new bike. Sorry to hear you are having the same issue. We took the bike apart and tightened the belt ... Checked everything online for answers ... Nothing worked.

Sorry, we had no trouble at all with this bike, either upon shipment, during assembly or during usage. I suggest you take it to a good bike repair shop in your area and ask the question. Good luck!

I have not personally tried, but when I was reading reviews before I bought my trainer some other people said that they had set up a standard mountain bike but that 29ers were problematic due to different wheel size. Try the CycleOps webpage and use their Tech support questions line.

They aren't machine etched for breaks. I ride fixed gear but had to slam on the brakes once to avoid getting smashed by another cyclist and they stopped fine (I only have a front break as a back up). Some rubbing alcohol took the black marks off.

I have had no problems with my Schwinn. I would recommend going back to the manufacturer.

It will depend on the size of your wheel and the radius of the disc. I have a mountain bike with 26" wheels and the rotor on the disc break is *just* low enough for the side of the stand to squeeze between the rotor and the wheel. To prevent damage to the rotor I just shoved a piece of wood under the wheel to prop it up an inch. This solved the problem, and the bike still fits snugly in the rack. I realize you probably already made your decision whether or not to by the rack, but I hope this is helpful for anyone else with disc brakes considering this stand.

No. The wheels and fork are not compatible with disk break. Wheels and fork cimbined are expensive. They might cost $400-500 for a decent one. I suggest buying a new bike with disk brakes at that price range

Nope, never had a problem with it. I ride with Sidi's and no problems. I rode with the sensors on two bikes. One with sram cranks, the other with campy cranks. No problems.

Yes, there should not be a problem, when you buy the cable that is what you really have to look out for, make sure you buy Road bike break cable, the head is different for MTB and road. Make sure the bike is step up to brake not to lock up the wheels. Modulation not skidding is what you want in your breaks... Best of Luck, they have a neat feature on the front side, a small pin slides in and out to bring the lever a bit closer to the handlebar. Have fun and keep riding

All the times mine got triggered while not running it released easily. The one time the brake on mine wouldn't release was when it got accidentally triggered while running cutting a log. It just would not release no matter how hard I pulled back. I loosened the tension on the chain completely and then it released. Good luck and let us know what worked for you.

Yes. I had the same problem. I worked on the front brake for about 2 hours. Until I got it to work right.

I'm having the same issue now after about 11 months of having the bike. Any help would be great!

I have and it's bugging me. Took the thing apart to check the cables, etc. Everything seems fine. I've been trying to find out about the magnet that belongs on the flywheel. I can't find any? Wondering if it dislodged when it was moved and now the sensor does not register that the wheel is in motion so the bike computer idles out?

I have heard of this problem before from other buyers. I have not had this problem. I would call Schwinn and ask them.

I have not run into that problem, but have not used it very much on hills. It has been a while since I used mine, but if I remember correctly, there is a pin on the brake handle that you either push in or pull out to keep the brake in place. I will look into this over the weekend and get back to you if you are still having an issue.
