I had this stand for a few years and a number of refurbished bikes. I have since replaced it, but this is what I remember:
  • You tend to trip over the feet of the stand quite often.
  • The covers for the clamp do fall off. Cutting a tube around it did help.
  • The bolts are cheap and will strip. This happened with 2 that came with the stand at the legs (2 because I swapped the upper one to the legs). I replaced those bolts and all was OK
  • When clamping the seat post, the front end tends to slowly sink down, like how the bike shows in the video.
Overall, it was a OK sand and got the job done. I ended up replacing it with a Park I found used. I do miss how compact this stand was stored, compared to my older Park, but the Park doesn't suffer from any of the above.
