Yeah but in the case of a guitar its weight is on the bottom resting on
the floor while just the neck is supported by the top part of the stand.
With the 29'er, the way you have it in the photo, all the weight would
be supported by the small piece at the top of the stand. It doesn't
look strong enough to handle that weight.

Amy at unicycle.com recommended that for my 24" Nimbus, and 28" Sun, I
get some hooks and hang my uni from the ceiling. It works great and the
hooks are less than a dollar.

HUH? the guitars bottom wouldnt be resting on the floor? it sits in
that cradle like thing that missing from my pic. look at the first pic
in this thread by Hungfromhooks, see that thing there? that where the
uni wheel would rest.

I found this stand in my neighbor's trash last month. It doesn't have
the lower support bracket. But, it works fine for all my uni's, as long
as it's up against the wall. If it's not up against the wall, the
weight of the uni tends to push the stand away from uni. Eventually,
I'll make a lower simple wooden base or a lower bracket for it, so it
will work anywhere.

I've had this fold-up guitar stand for 25 years or so. I tried it today
with my 29'er ... works well.

Relax Jagur, you had your uni upside down without the wheelset. I
thought that was the way you intended to use the stand and just wondered
if it would deal with the weight and wondered about the top heaviness of
that set up. My bad. I haven't examined a guitar stand up close and
didn't know that you intended to turn your uni the other way around.

Yeah SurlyDave's set up made sense to me, as did your explanation, but
in both cases, with the lower piece of the stand missing the uni still
needed support. In SH's example, all the bits are there and the uni is
held, without the need to lean up against anything, by the stand.
That's the kind of set up I was looking for for my work situation where
I do not have the option of inserting hooks in either the ceiling or
walls.
