I have a road bike does anyone know if there might be balancing issues if I try to get these on my bike?

No, I have a road bike as well, and this saddle works very well. I load one or both sides and notice no difference

I don't know your height, weight or what you intend to carry. but.... If you are average size and weight; don't overload one side; and keep the weight realistic, you shouldn't even know that they are attached to the bike.

Most humans are very good at balancing, once you are moving you probably won't notice any weight distribution issues, unless maybe you are carrying raw iron ore in only one side.

not sure, we have it on a urban-commuter hybrid type and it does well on that one, but it's a more substantial bike then a road bike.

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.

Hey Hank I didn't check the balance but they seem to tow fine. I took them out of the box and put them on and put over a hundred miles on them. My buddy paid a little over twice as much at a store here in town and has had no problems. Hope this helps.

I have a wierd bike and I had to make adjustments for my bike. Try a bike store, they may be able to help.

I have not had any problems. The wheels are very sturdy and placed properly for balance.

Yes they will fit. My road bike with 700x23c wheels and tires just likes yours fits with room to spare

My road bike clamps fine on the seatpost. I haven't tried this with my MT bike which is considerably heavier.

I had to use different screw, but of course the bikes should not be so heavy (old bikes). Regards.

No they would not. Not without fabricating a full set of bracketry to hold them there. Do not buy these. Do not buy from this company. Absolute crap. You would be wasting your money. Call Kevin at Dragonfly Cycle Concepts, he has bags and bracket kits (and fairings) to get you all hooked up. Tell him Rod sent ya.

Depends. I was able to mount my wife's upside down. My daughter's bike barely fit the regular way. So I was able to get them on without issue, but a converter bar might have been easier for my wife's.

I had that issue as well but I bought some Profile Design Boxer Bar Ends which can be easily installed and give you an upright position when riding the bike. They're available through Amazon as well.

May sound lame, but they just do. The weighting of the bikes keeps them hanging the way you put them on the bar. Unless there is some outside force (wind?) Pushing on them, they don't move once attached.

Yes, mine are installed on a road bike but they could be installed on either.

Hi, These are made for road bikes but may fit your application. You will just need to measure.

They might be ok to hang light weight bicycles. As I have not hung any bike, so its hard to determine.

Yes (that's what I have), but they are junk. I returned them. There is a lot of flex in them, so putting a bike on them will cause a lot of side to side sway as they will torque the bars. They are also curved upwards, so the bikes will lean outwards. They would work fine however for something like a roof box.

Should work ok with thin-tire road bike. Knobby tread on some mountain bike tires might give a rough ride, and some of the new "fat tire" bikes probably won't fit.
