What is often criticized is, the wheel would not be balance and would, depending on the weight distribution or the place where one clamping it, forward tilt because the waggrechte tube on which the clamp is twisted. This is basically true!
But the big BUT: For what purpose repair because the wheel must be balanced on the repair stand exactly that both are parallel to the ground wheels (!)?
I make it short:
there is no reason, because it is important only that you get the bike off the ground into the air, thus can screw your back and drankommt well everywhere. And it's important that you can press the pedal or drive the front wheel by hand for maintenance on brakes and circuit - nothing else! When the wheel is thus dependent forwards or backwards, makes the Schrauberei not diminish.
Most standard wheels for adults in a reasonable price range - I mean everything about the range of 500-700 euros - so weigh this year is less than 20 kilos. This weight of the stand has no problems. He has no problems with aluminum frame with a triangular cross section, these frames can be easily clamps. With men's and diamond frame of the stand has no problems that can be when it is absolutely necessary because, clamped so that the user has everything in balance. Typical Female Frame that even with bikes for children often find themselves, are a bit of difficult. But here too one wheel tends never quite to the ground, for which there is the seat tube? Except small children's bikes around the 20 "wheel size: press there the seat tube and / or the seat post is often very short or are Bowden cables in the way that you have to cheat a little bit, especially for deep placing of the clamp on the seat tube pedals terminal at the Pedals are very close and therefore can trigger the horizontal pipe. But that's it for now everything and determined by the respective wheel type of construction, as you can the producer of the mounting stand not blame!
The professional cyclists or one who every 2 km on his mountain bike during downhill riding on the Schn ... lies down and therefore need more screws, as it can go, let him be a stand get, which costs more than what some for a can spend brand new bike. The opportunity screwdriver, even if he has to wait a dozen bikes with the family, can be satisfied with this repair stand perfectly.
As the durability of the plastic parts will be, remains to be seen over time. I'm currently quite confident as they appear to be of sufficient size and are also well made. Since I already know what to worse things seen with sharp edges or predetermined breaking points thanks to errors by injection, which is definitely not the case here.
