WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?
Folds down nice and small and well made. The QRs dont need to be done up tight to hold everything in place
OK it's vain, but I like the colour! ;O)
Jaw is rubber lined, and locks down easily with positive action and fine adjustment so as not to crush delicate alloy tubes
Clamp can be fiddly to install after unfolding.
Not too good on my FSR's square top-tube; the bike wants to turn in the jaws and move away from you as you work, but works well on seatpost instead, so that's just a comment rather than a weakness.
I can't believe how nice it is to use, and be able to work without breaking my back! After years of working on bikes that are rolling around and falling over all the time, this is pure luxury, and should last forever.
Sorry I can only give a 3 for reliability, but I've only had it 2 weeks, so time will tell I guess!
Oh, and I only paid £70 at Cycle Surgery for mine....Sorry!
;O)
