This bike stand is great for the price. It's really a simple but proven design that has been copied and slightly modified from numerous other stands out there. The thing that attracted me to this particular stand other than the lower price was the fact it had 3 tripod legs with disc feet. When it comes to stability, I'm just not going to trust the V-shaped legs as much as a tripod. With a tripod, the load is spread out evenly all around (assuming the mass center is in the middle). Well, the stability is there, but since the bike mass is off the center, there does come a tipping point. Luckily even when rocking the bike, that point is not reached.A little gripe I had though (which by modifying the stand I fixed), is that the clamp to hold the bike is positioned right in line with one of the legs. This means that you have to work on the bike being mindful of a protruding leg beneath. Even though this as probably intended for max stability, I found it unappealing and wanted to see if I could rotate the clamp in the center of 2 legs. After some dremel modification, it worked but at the cost of some stability. Still not enough to tip the stand though. I can always go back to the old position, so I'll have to see which I prefer over time.The other things I really like about this stand over others is the ease with which it is setup and then folds up afterwards. For a stand that takes up such a large footprint when in use (and you want it to for stability), there is such a small compact footprint for storage. And the all-aluminum and plastic construction makes this stand super light and the plastic bits don't feel cheap.
