Nice tool to have
I find this to be really useful.
Yes, you could bend a hanger or other wire object to serve the same purpose, or you could do what I used to do, and that is use a tie-down or velcro strap to hold the in place. But I like this in that it can be taken off/put on with one hand while the other hand holds the bike or tools. Also, it's coated so that it won't scratch the frame like a coat hanger can.
Pretty useful but...
I use this but in some ways it is a pain. It works exactly as you would expect IF you have a simple situation. But, for example, if you have aerobars on the bike, or otherwise a somewhat crowded bar (light, speedo, etc) this gets more difficult. Also, the velcro strap is not very useful since it only "grabs" over about a two inch section so you have to lash it on just so. Further, if you are re-cabling you can expect to have it get in your way. Like I said I use it but... maybe the coat hanger would be better! Or perhaps that old "flickstand" we used to have to hold the front wheel straight (remember it?).
Great idea....
...but you can do it yourself for free by bending a wire coat hanger! Save some money!
