Vent: Wasted $80 on a 'universal' bike repair stand that couldn't hold my mountain bike
I got this stand off Amazon thinking I was saving cash over a Park Tool one. First time I clamped my Norco, the clamp slipped and the whole thing tipped over, scraping my frame. Lost $80 and had to buy a proper one anyway. Did anyone else fall for those cheap universal stands that just can't handle a heavier bike?

The real issue is those stands are designed for road bikes in a clean garage, not mud-caked mountain bikes bouncing around.

Grabbed an old heavy duty one from a garage sale, @reese_garcia, and it handles the mud just fine.
