Is the bike able to pivot in the corners or will the mount simply bend and break when the bike leans?

We've had our bikes tip over while unlocking them or while loading groceries/gear into the trailer & have not had any damage done to the bikes or trailer.

I have not been able to use it that way yet but with two independent wheels I expect it would turn just fine without stress on the mount as the wheels will just spin at a different speed on turns.

My son uses it for his paper route and has no problems. There is a bracket that swivels with the back of the bike. The bracket doesn't allow for really sharp turns as the tire will hit the bar, but it does allow for up and down movement along with the swivel.

I have clamped both mountain and road bikes to this stand with no problem. However, I have read that clamping should only be done on the seat post and in the future, that is what I probably do.

I used mine to hang bikes in the garage. I had to bend mine a little and they did not break.

Yes, The mount allows you to pivot and turn the unit. Its by no means a easy/fluid movement, but it can be done. It will work best if you set it to how you want it and leave it that way, but if you plan on frequent movement I suggest going with a ram mount.

Yes and no. You can if the bike is firmly secure and doesn't "pivot." But if the bike "pivots" or leans to the inside then the pedal will hit. All in all, I would answer that Yes you can pedal it fine. I will be honest. I bought this rack for general repairs and I absolutely love it. I would highly recommend it for general maintenance and cleaning. The only addition I made was buying the Park handlebar stabilizer. That comes in super handy to hold the handlebars in place.

Yes, this mount is very sturdy. Although I'm not sure how smooth the video will be since a dirt bike has knobby tires with a somewhat rough ride. Should be okay though.

It's a fixed bracket. It's not bendable. Check out the specs at the yoshimura website. Hope this helps.

Yes, as I recall it does have a locking clamp that can be rotated. As far as holding a 40 lb bike I'd look elsewhere - the clamp tube and clamp mechanisms are made of plastic and did not hold up well... a tripod-type stand might be better.

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.

It does rotate, there is a star head screw that you will loosen a significant amount so that you can separate it enough to release it so that you can spin it into another set of grooves to lock it in place and then tighten the screw. I was able to mount it to a down bar on my recumbent "under seat steering" bike.

It will be whatever angle you want to it be - it all depends on how you bolt it on your bike. I believe it's the exact same one that comes with the trailer. We have bought 3 of these and they have all worked fine.

yes, I'm able to angle it about 20 degrees and my girls bike rides well. we did take out the middle clamp to give our 2 bikes more room.

I bought an adaptor bar for my wife's bike and that seemed to solve that problem. I think you could use the mount with a womens frame but it would put the bike at a really odd angle..

couple years since I bought mine. It angles up from the post as I have a short frame bike. I love it!! very handy and the easy to remove feature is great if storing the bike or in sketchy neighborhoods.

The mount is fixed by silicone bands, you can adjust the angle of it on the handlebar as you need....

It is strong but it has a flawed design but i have put it through some beating and it never has bent on me, the bike is totally worth it , you should think about switching the crank out tho after some time

Yes, the center pivot is a bolt that goes through the yolk of the front fork and holds the brake on the bike.
