Down to £50 for this week and I have a £10 voucher to use as well so, t'would seem daft not too......?
"t'would seem daft not too"
yep.
It's a bit crude but it does the job and as you said, for the money you'd be daft not to.
Ive got one and find it fine for general tinkering and stuff that I do. Might not suit someone who is doing things on a day by day basis but good for general stuff
had it for a year , been good, worth it.
Got one too. Solid, easy to adjust. No complaints at all.
Snapped the clamp handle off of ours after a few months 😥
Still not got round to getting onto Wiggle about it. From the above replys it seems like I was just unlucky. Apart from the snapped off handle has been fine.........
Yeah - I've got one of these & it's pretty useful. Well worth the money - use mine loads.
Yep. Good for me too. No probs.
The problem with those clamps is that for differing size posts, you need to adjust them (with the bike in the other hand) - better to spend more on one with a better clamp - say Park PCS-9.
I have one, I wouldn't call it solid - certainly not the clamp. Kind of wish I'd bought a better one but it's fine for occaisional use, if you have heavy bikes though I would avoid...
My clamp handle has also snapped off. I have had it for two years and considering the price it has done well.
Cheers all - only for occasional fettling, and not on anything silly heavy so, I'll give it a go.....
Chris
br - or you could just take the seatpost out of the bike, adjust clamp to suit....... 😉
TBF mine broke in the post - Wiggle were really good with sending a replacement out.
The moral of this thread is - to go easy on the handle - moderately tighten with the lever followed by a quick twist of the lever.
Hopefully mine will continue to give good service.
get one - you really won't believe how much easier it makes your life, and if you treat it right, it'll last for years.
I am a workstand convert.
How would these cope with a fairly heavy bike with no horizontal tubes, like the Dutch bikes at http://www.velodarlo.org/the-bikes/ ?
Mike try one of these

Not the most secure/versatile clamp, but does the job OK.
Not something I'd leave set up all the time, as it's quite vulnerable to knocks, but it does fold down pretty small for tucking away in the corner.
get the Park, strong enough to spin a heavy MTB upside down (don't ask)
my clamp broke. its ok for adjusting gears but I end up propping the front wheel on something to stop it moving too much, hence no good for anything you need to move the front for. Either that or you end up with the wheel off.
