does your rear wheel stay up in the air or does it still sit on the ground

On my bike, without trimming the legs of the kickstand, the front wheel was about three inches off the ground. The bike on which I had this kickstand installed was a Sun EZ-1 recumbent so most "normal" bikes would probably balance differently.

I wish that this item would have worked with my frame configuration, but it didn't. However, this thing is built so strong that it would hold up a Harley dresser. Haven't found one yet to work with my Japanese 10 speed bike with an 80cc motor attached. Just gotta chain it to a tree or sign post. Still looking though! Wish that I could help ya out more, but that's all that I know. Mark.

On my bike it is the front wheel that is up off the ground. But if the front weighs more (Like if I have something in a front basket) than the back then it is the back tire that is up. So it depends. Personally, I do not recommend this model. On mine the spring broke making it useless. There are better quallity stands out there that do the same thing but are much better made.

Depends on the bike and the load. Long chain stays and larger diameter wheels will have an effect, too. One of my bikes, a 1968 Raleigh 3 speed, will have the rear wheel up unless I have a load over the rear wheel. Then the front comes up.

Mine did. Wound up not using it as I still had the one from my previous wheel.

I had that issue but it took just a little elbow grease getting the rear wheel in. As soon as the paint on the rear drop-outs wore slightly, the axle became more and more easily inserted. Right now, the axle comes on and off without problems. Maybe a bit of emory cloth could thin out that thick layer of paint on your first assembly.

no just screw it on and adjust it to how low you like the front wheels to come off the ground if in the dirt and doing a lot of jumps take it off

only 2 to 4 inches off the ground. It's more a balance toy than one that puts you up in the air.

No. And a word of advice, the wheels fall off sometimes. But, for the money it's ok. I use it to work on my motorcycles.

I bought this rack mainly to use on our 5th wheel but so far have only used it on the pickup truck. As the bike wheels sit in the rack holders they don't really hang down but with the rack coming straight out from the receiver hitch (which is already below bumper height) the wheels then are below the bumper. I have found no problems with ground clearance. If that is your concern I guess you could get one of those step up adapters to raise the rack a few inches. Hope that helps. Cheers. PS my rack will not be bolted to the bumper as my 5th wheel has a receiver hitch as well.

The wheel in the front swivels but the rear wheels follow the handlebars. You'll never have to back up to turn - I highly recommend it.

it does need to rest on the ground. I have a GMC 2500 and it just hits the ground.

When the chair is in the upright sitting position, the bottom of the chair is slightly tilted.....the back portion sits about 8 1/2 inches from ground and the front portion sits about 11 1/2 inches from ground. This chair sits a little higher compared to others.

It does sit up well. I like to read when I'm riding and it works very well! I really like this bike.

It's personal preference, I would set it normal height at first and if you find that it's too low to pedal efficiently then raise it slightly to account for the sag.

No because I've hung the rack low enough so that the bottom wheel rests on the floor. I guess if I've hung the rack higher, then the front wheel might incur some damage.

It has been a little while since I put it together but it is pretty clear in the instructions. It is a slightly different configuration and it involves a long bolt which goes down through the wheel lugs and you put a wing nut underneath to hold it in place. I have mine mounted to a tire but I don't really take it off. It works fine and it isn't complicated.

Check to make sure the front wheel locks arnt broken.. it should be pretty stable tho

The rear wheels are fairly close together, but far enough apart to insure stability. I used this product for 12 weeks after I broke my foot and did not have any problem related to hitting the wheels with my pushing foot. Works very well.

I have not experienced any problem with the rear wheels. I only use the welder inside my shop on a concrete floor, so I'm not sure who they do on an uneven surface (gravel, dirt).
