Re: Cycle whore thread
I don't like my bike being on anything other than a kick stand, but I trusted my friends t rex stands for at least an hour. If you have spools it feels like you can kick it without an issue. I shook the bike for a good 5 minutes to be sure and didn't second guess them for a second.

On the stands thing:
Everyone's gonna have an opinion, some want to save some money on something as basic as a stand and do so. They just want something to hold the bike securely. Securely to you, may be different than what it is to me. Are those stands pieces of shit? Probably not. Then there are some people who will spend a little extra for that little bit better piece of mind, what they see as better quality and perhaps a better investment.
Me? I've seen and used a friends Pitbulls and he's had them for about four years. They look the same now as they did then. Very nice pieces. I've also seen and used a friends ebay jammies. Did they work? Yes. Was I impressed with them? Not at all. The bike was way "wobbly" and I was a little nervous. They also looked kind of cheap, to be honest. When the time comes, I will be going with Pitbulls.
If you're happy with your stands and they are not Pitbulls, more power to you. Just know that my stands are better than yours.

Re: Cycle whore thread
My tiff is you're calling it garbage because it's cheaper.. when I don't even feel its of any lesser quality; I just didn't get a Harbor Freight Sticker with mine..
Which would you put your bike on?
