I don't know how good those are nowadays, but I remember hearing about a couple people complain (10+ years ago) about having one of the 2 stands giving way and their bikes falling off the stands. It was all over BC Sportbikes at the time, so I never saw any of it in person.

But regardless, i'd rather spend the money on a good read stand (which I did) rather than 2, not so great quality (thin tubing), stands. And that alleviates any doubt in my mind about the bike ever falling over.
