Quick question, do the stand wobble? Just got mine in the mail and the stand wobble a bit even on flat surface. Thanks!

I found that this product is very unstable. It seems to be only good as a display stand. I tried to use it to adjust my rear derailleur, but it did not work for this at all.

What matters is how it performs if the bike resting on it. And be sure to use the rubber bands, which for me made a big difference in stability. And I wonder how long those bands will last. Rubber bands can deteriorate in a few years doing nothing. I guess this stand is only as good as their longevity.

Sorry for the delay... I bought this for a gift.. I haven't heard of any complaints of it wobbling, but was told that they really liked it as it made things much easier... not much and hope it helps.

This stand is very sturdy, stability isn't an issue, in fact the heavier the keyboard the more stable it should be. I haven't noticed any shaking and I do usually pound away (I'm more concerned with the keyboard being able to take it) but since you asked, I can get the stand to wobble left and right a bit if I push and deliberately try to get it to sway laterally but it has absolutely no movement up and down or front to back no matter how much force I use. It takes deliberate effort to make it move sideways, not something you would normally do, you could beat this stand with a sledgehammer and it wouldn't shake, I don't think you should have any concerns.

When the stand is opened fully and stable it angles backwards so the pedals hit the upright tube. If you open it so the upright is more vertical the pedals swing free. But then it has a tendency to fall forward (the designer's an idiot). Put some weight on the two legs that jut out behind the stand 9I use some rocks) and you're fine. Not elegant but then it's fine. Still for a third the price of good stands what do you expect?

On a level surface, the stand is very stable. It has been used on a sandy semi-level surface to adjust the derailleurs and I experienced very little wobbling.

It's very stable - this is a very heavy, solid stand. I can see how you'd be concerned from the picture but I've never had a problem with it.

Mine is also very wobbly... I just left it how it was because I didn't know what else to do. We don't have much action around it so it has been fine the couple of years I've had it now.

I have no wobbling issues. I actually love this thing. More than I expected. Especially with any weight in the bags under it.

I have 15" Sony speakers attached to these stands and the speakers will wobble if bumped. The stands will not tip over easily if pushed forward or backward but pushing them back and to a side with a tall heavy speaker will make them fall if struck hard enough. The Neato robotic vacuum hitting the bases doesn't even budge them as the bases are pretty heavy.

Mines were uneven also, the cause of this is because the holes that are drilled out on the legs are symmetrical on both sides, causing the stand to be somewhat crooked, i just assembled mine and am pissed off, i cant believe they charge the amount for this stand, this stand is worth more like $40 if you ask me.

It's my experience that the stand is unstable in the portrait position. The case itself is very functional in the portrait position.

No wobble at all on mine, you may have a slight bend in the frame or blade, or the blade may not be tight.

as others have noted, you do have to pay attention when rotating the bike to other positions. Sometimes just re-clamping the bike at a different spot in the frame can make a big difference. I suspect there are sturdier ones out there if you want to pay more. I didn't and the stand has worked just fine for me. (I'm about to overhaul my 3rd bike on it.)

Mine is nice and firm. No adjusting needed. Just move the stand to any angle you want

I have not used it in that position, but it stays put in the normal position. The stand is great!

I have been using my stand for quite awhile and no issues. I really was satisfied with this purchase. Easy to put together too.

I had the legs flipped the wrong way. You have to make sure they're set so the "long" and the "short" sections (from the screw that secures them in the leg) are on opposite sides to increase stability. Not sure if that's what's causing your wobble. But it was my initial issue when setting it up.
