Title: Won't last more than a couple of years
Product review: I've had this stand for a few years. Yes, it's wall-supported (I didn't need to drill; the base's big "U" has been pretty stable on my carpet), and yes it extends a couple feet out from the wall at the base (but don't your handlebars?). That's no problem for me.My problem is the crappy plastic receivers in the arms where the hooks are bolted. After enough times lifting bikes into and out of the hooks, the bolts just pull out of the stripped plastic. It happened first with the lower hooks (okay, I was hanging a tandem, it's a little heavy), but the upper rack's just been holding a relatively light-weight hybrid (I never kept my road bike on this stand; I keep it on the trainer when I'm not riding it).I'm buying a da Vinci which doesn't appear to have the swinging hooks (which require the bolt-and-receiver system), but simple arms.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
