Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have now had this stand for one year.
It has done a great job keeping my bike upright and secure in my 1 br NYC apartment living room - ready to ride at a moment's notice. It is easy to set up and use.
The flaw came to light a few weeks ago. There is a small yellow plastic cup in each side of the "screw vise" clamping apparatus which is the part in which the rear spindle/axle of the bike is held. The yellow cup is kept in place by a very tiny screw. Very tiny, and easy to lose, and completely non-standard - not easy to replace if lost.
One day the yellow cup came loose and the stand no longer clamped my bike in place. Just like that. A tiny, cheap part. Luckily I found the teeny-tiny retaining screw on the floor under the stand (somehow spared from my occasional vacuuming). I re-installed the yellow plastic cup with the screw using the tip of a kitchen knife blade as a screw driver (the head of the screw is THAT tiny).
The stand now works fine again.
I cannot believe that a manufacturer would design/build a product where something seemingly this tiny can essentially cause product failure.

Strong enough to be riden on to test adjustments, this heavy duty stand that holds the rear wheel aloft to perform routine maintenance such as derailleur adjustment, chain lubing or simply to hold the bike for storage and display.
