Feedback Sports  Handlebar Holder

This is an excellent product. One end goes anywhere on the handle bar and the other end can clamp on the the seat post or down tube, or seat stay, or any place that is stable. I finally can leave on my top tube bag and everything on the handlebars (bell, lights, phone/GPS holder, computer, etc.). With the blue competitor's tool, I had to take lots of that stuff off - what a pain.

Haven't used the device more than half a dozen times for standard workings on my bikes. One of the end clamps has dislodged from the tubing. From an engineering perspective, this appears to be a rather weak link in the design. The expanded pop-rivet design for attaching the pieces doesn't lend itself for an easy fix - do the Feedback engineers have suggestions for such a fix?

This thing works and it's easy to use. I can't speak to its durability but it should hold up if not abused. I consider it a "must have" now and I'll never go back to bungee cords and the like. This item is so quick and easy to use. Also, the angle of the front wheel can be adjusted. (It doesn't have to face straight forward.) It won't fit around large grips (Ergon), but there's always somewhere on the bar one can hook it.

I bought this in order to stabilize the front wheel of my mountain bikes when I placed them on the roof racks on the car. It greatly eases and simplifies the procedure of mounting and dismounting the bikes, especially since one mount is close to the centerline of the roof to make room for a tandem rack. The Holder also works very well when storing the (any) bikes in a leaning position against a wall. The locked handlebar helps prevent the bike from inadvertently rolling and falling.

I've owned an ultimate repair stand since 2000, and this handlebar holder came with it. I didn't fully appreciate how much I used this little gizmo until I broke the threaded collar that holds the sliding mechanism in place a few weeks ago. In hindsight I use this pretty much any time that I am working on the front wheel or handlebar controls: shimming disk brake calipers, replacing cables/housing, bleeding disk brakes come to mind immediately. This handlebar holder is effective for two reasons: the length is adjustable and the tool has a very simple way to mount to any seatpost and any handlebar. In my cons I said it was fragile. I guess I really wouldn't expect a handlebar holder to ever break, and clearly I had over tightened the threaded piece to cause this problem in the first place. Still, it has lasted for 7-8 years, and that is more than I can say for many other things that I have spent far more money on. Let's just say that I am definitely going to buy another one.

I work on approximately 20 bike builds and 10 service bikes per week. I decided to purchase this tool to replace Park’s awkward and headache handlebar tool.

Keeps your handlebar and front wheel from flopping around while you're working on your bike on the stand. Adjustable length, attaches easily to any bike unless the seatpost is too short to allow room for it.

Maybe a little on the fragile side but this thing works great. If I wear it out I will go directly to REI and get another. It makes working on the bike on the stand so much easier.

I use it mainly to stabilize my road bike front wheel for transport. You can adjust it to any length and will work on any kind of handlebar and seatpost. My bike is a size 58 with Both aero handlebar and seat post. This product alleviate the use of a strap or bungy cord that could damage a carbon frame and carbon wheel.

I've had a repair stand for 20 years and only used a rope to secure the handlebars. Got one these on sale recently and wow what a difference it makes in working on a bike. Holds the handlebar/fork absolutely steady. Easy on, easy adjust, easy off.
