As good as the Park stands? Are you for real?
its def a big call to say its as good as the park ones.... if im not mistaken.... the clamps on the park tool stands get tighter as more torque/ weight is applied to it... same definitely cant be said for the aldi stands where people have needed to drill holes in the clamp/pipe..... I do however agree $39 is a good price for what it does.
You clamping it at the seat post?
They are good for the money but not remotely in the same league as the Park tools stands.
...and you can get a metal Park stand for $130 delivered. Might be 3x the price but it will be at least 10 times stronger.
Glad you're happy with it. Clamping at the seatpost, my Aldi stand would not hold my bike (11kg) up. The plastic mounts rotate due to the weight and leverage of the bike. Also, the spring mechanism in the clamp head shat itself after about a month. Maybe these things have been addressed. Clamping at the top tube is not something I like to do.
should have bought it before you dropped the MakuluJust set up my ALDI stand...
I like that the clamp is a diamond shape, so it doesn't crush the cable that runs under the top tube to the seat post.
Means I can even the weight on the stand to negate the problem of potential weakness in the arm's clamp causing rotation under uneven weight.
Doesn't seem like I need to clamp very hard to make it hold onto the bike solidly, so not much else to be concerned about really!
Pretty good for $40, and will make building my Makulu and working on the bikes a bazillion times less frustrating.
Nice pussies!
I too bought the stand and am impressed for 40bucks.Looked at the sunnies but thought they looked like shite so put them down. Has anyone bought and used the degreaser and bike wash? I may just go back and buy some bottles today and try it out.
You can get it down to roughly, a metre by 300mm. I have two, one lives in the back of the car.
