I read the reviews, especially the ones about pressure on spokes and decided to buy anyway. I reasoned that if the bike is kept upright the pressure on the spokes would be minimal and thus safe to ignore.Once I assembled the stand and put my bike in, it became clear that this is not the case at all. First, the bike *always* leans on one side or the other, there's no way to balance it. Second, accidentally bumping into the bike causes it to bounce back and forth - this does real damage to the spokes. Bad buy.
