I've often thought that a company that fixes a mistake or damaged product quickly and without fuss has a better reputation with me than a company that never made a mistake or had a damaged product in the first place.

I scratched top of my top tube clamping to it too tightly I think. My old man has made me a protector strap to put on it so it can't scratch it now.

I agree, no quibbles, got a text from the delivery company before David had even emailed back to say one was bring sent out. Very very happy with the service.
I can't wait to get out and ride the bike so I've got a reason to have to use the workstand lol.
I did notice though the handlebars very annoyingly keep turning rather than stay straight. Have found a nice Park Tools handlebar stay thing though.
Has anyone heard of any damage done to a bike by clamping the seat post?

i use mine as a permanent home when not being rode, its always clamped by the seatpost, i cant see any damage being done to the seatpost its self especially not if you allow for abit of flex in the stand by letting the bike rest naturally downwards before tightening the top screw, i usually have mine straight though but you need to hold it straight then tighten the top screw very tight to get it to hold, looks like it puts pressure on the clamp but not the seatpost

My work stand arrived this morning, about 36 hours after I ordered it.
I've never had one before, but it appears to be very sturdy. OH put it together in minutes. He was very impressed with the magnetic tool tray.
I've had sons bike up in it this evening for a clean, lube and brake adjustment and it was perfect.
Very pleased.

All i can see in the link in the OP is a £30 model, it has the quick release levers on the jaws and frame, where is the 2014 model and what is the difference?

Not sure if this will work as it's a link from eBay mobile.. But try this;

Appears they've changed the way you rotate the bike in the stand.. Probably more sturdy than the 2012 model.
