Voice of dissent on the Cinelli stand. I have one, blue, that has two arms for securing bikes. What I do not like about it is that you have to screw down the clamping handle when you secure or release the bike. Perhaps, and I have thought of this, mine is missing a part, but then it would be missing one for each. I would think that the securing mechanism would be spring operated or engaged rather than screwing it down each time.

What I do like it about it: two arms, terrific for switching wheels, and when cranking up on bottom bracket fixed cup, it remains secure.

For whatever it's worth,

Cheers.
