Customer Review: Handy to have

Okay so there may be cheaper ways to keep a handle bar from moving, but this doesn't really cost THAT much, and it's easy to fit onto the bike. Does it's job. Nothing to complain about.Customer Review: Great Product!

I tried the coat hanger first and it works but not as well. So I sprung for this gadget and I am glad I did. I just got done servicing the kids bikes for the winter and this bit of wire helped keep the front wheel from swinging around and whacking me. I used Velcro strap just to hold the bracket in place, it has a bit of elastic on it, so no problem with cables etc, or various frame sizes. I can see though that it's bent to fit standard mt bikes and road bikes and probably not super aero triathlon handlebars.
Pro:
Does what it is designed to do very well.
Con:
It is just a bit of heavy duty vinyl coated wire with a piece of elastic and Velcro. You could make one, if you are good at these sort of things.
Customer Review: Another necessary, yet overpriced tool from Park

These types of handlebar holders are essential when working on anything related to the front of the bike. But just like the tool stand, the price is a little high for what you get. Now some may ask me, "Why would you complain about something that costs less that $20?" Well my only complaint is that it ought to be either included with the stand, or cost more like $10. Rubber coated mild steel is CHEAP.
In the end, though, I would buy it again. Just might complain a little bit too!!
