The stand has been doing great for more than 6 months already! My Marin Muirwoods 29'' wheels turned out to be too wide for the hook,, and my frame geometry somehow doesn't allow the bike to weigh backwards. However, I turned the hook 180 degrees, so that my front wheel leans on it instead of pulling it back, and it works very well. Not exactly how it's supposed to be used, but this beautifully simple construction is so flexible that it does its job very well even like that :)
