too wobbly for a heavier bike or E-Bike and clamp awkwardly
I was looking for a replacement for my old Takx mounting stand that broke down after many years of loyal service. This one seemed the closest and it looks good too. It would be compatible with heavy e-bikes up to 39 kg and my YT Decoy is nowhere near that, so it should be fine you would think. And it won't go wrong, but how wobbly that thing is! It bends with my bike attached and it does not give a stable impression at all. The clamping mechanism does not work smoothly, making it difficult to attach the bike. As with my old Takx stand, I tried attaching the bike to the top tube, but it only just fits in the widest position, taking another chippie out of my carbon frame. A shame, but fortunately it's not the first battle-scar (which is the worst as every mountain biker knows...). You also have to be careful to tighten the horizontal beam where the clamp is attached before you hang your bike in it, otherwise you damage the mechanism and it will never remain stable (didn't happen to me, but if you look at how the system works you'll see what I mean; this is also referred to in youtubereviews). For a lightweight road bike or XC mountain bike, this stand will do, but if you have a slightly heavier enduro, downhill or E-mountain bike, I would leave it off despite the maximum allowed weight of 39 kg. Unfortunately, I don't think I can return it as I've owned it for a bit too long now, and all the boxes are also long gone with the scrap paper, but in retrospect I would have preferred the slightly heavier Parktool, which is probably more stable and the clamp is said to work super as well.
