Does anyone else experience flexion on the studs its bolted on? If so any solutions?

Yes, It pulled the stud out of the wall (not completely). So I installed a 2x8x10 face plate across a number of studs, which worked for awhile, but not that is pulling out on one end. The whole wall ripples when one of my trainers, who kicks/hits extremely hard, hits the bag. I think it speaks more to how poorly the building is constructed, than to the design of the XMark. What we are going to do next is put in a large beam across the ceiling, spanning the room and attach the heavy bag to that. The bag we are using is a 150 lb Muy Thai bag.

Spread the load out over three studs by using thee 2x6 boards. One for too bolt one for bottom bolt and one for the two supporting bolts

Mine cracked on installation. They're kind of known for that. Just contact them and they should be able to get you a refund or replacement like they did for me.

the first production run had the piece that rubs against the wall a little bit too thin. This could be a problem if the unit is dropped. Go to studpop.com and they'll send you a new one that won't break.

I'm not sure if it's the rack or all the stuff in the rack. The only problem I've had was the cheap bolts they give you to attach the mount to the roll bar. It broke and I haven't been able to fish the one end out of the roll cage.

There should be some bolts with locking nuts on them at the swivel joints. I have had to loosen those just a very small amount. Also I have just moved it by hand to limber it up.

So Far, not at all. I would check the bolts now and then to make sure they are tight, though. Always a good idea.

I know exactly what your talking about. Mine kinda did the same thing. Try rotating the knuckle the full 180 degress a few times and it should loosen a little bit. I think it will always feel a little stiff.

If the studs are too far apart, you could always lay down a base board that matches up to the studs, then mount the bar on top of that. I did this with my bar and it works like a charm. As for your question, The bar is not adjustable width-wise so your studs may not match up.

I had a similar issue and found that it was a result of tightening the posts too much. The cams they used are also of lower quality so many that actually locked into place didn't give you the "click" feeling that would let you know you had it right. I put mine together with full anticipation that it need to be fix within a few weeks, so far (4 months later) it's holding strong to daily use with no indication of loosening.

I am another boat trailer guy. No problems at all, I do strongly suggest anti-seize on the studs before assembly.

Gee i have 3 of them and hasn't happened. My first suspicion is maybe the bolt hole is a little too snug. I'd check if you have the same issue with the door open. Then loosen the plates a little to see if you still have the issue. Several things could cause it, but maybe when they originally drilled the holes they were a little off?

I have yet to experience that problem but I would suggest a sporting goods or hardware store and maybe look for a similar part. You might want to consider calling the manufacturer to possibly score extra parts.

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

Mine are very tight. The wood they are mounted to tends to move. It's all in how you mount them.

I was very careful to measure the one stud I used and to center the lag bolts in the stud for maximum grip. I also made sure to predrill the proper size hole - small enough to make sure the lag bolt had enough wood to grab tightly but not too small and chance breaking the bolt.

I haven't used the lumbermaker that much but I noticed that I had to tighten the bracket that attaches to the bar very evenly between the two screws. Too much force from one screw would loosen the other and then when I tighten the loose screw the other one would loosen because the bracket was spreading. If this is what you are reffering to I can see where the bracket would eventually become "sprung way out". Other than trying to control how much I tighten the screws I dont know what to do about it. Have you talked to Haddon? Good luck. Tom L.

I will gladly send photos of my installation (I tried to insert a photo and couldn't, if you know how let me know) I ran into a situation where the new mounting sights where the shower rod attaches to the wall was not at a point where a wall stud was located. I used a screw-in drywall anchor (like the The Hillman Group 41408 Self-Drilling Hollow Wall Anchor found on Amazon)
