Tacx Repairstand

Hi!

Does anyone know if the Tacx T3075 is worth buying and good enough for serious repair work?

TIA! Derk

I've used one for a couple of years now and am quite pleased with it. I like it because you don't
have to clamp the tubes. I own two bikes and do all my own work.

I'll second that I have a modification which makes it even better - a shaped piece of rubber which
fits the BB, around the cable guide, perfectly. Next time I see a set of QR's that clear layer lips
without unscrewing they'll help too.

I like it and for long trips it folds down neatly too.

I understand what you mean now: I put it together yesterday and changed cranks, shifters and you
name it today on my bike (from Ultegra to Dura Ace). It is indeed a very handy device, but it would
help to put a piece of rubber in stead of th eplastic bracket holder, so your bike won't slide off.
Do you happen to have a picture of that piece of rubber? How did you fasten it?

What kind of QR's do you have then? That horrible type they use in the US too?

I have to convince my wife we need to bring it. I already take w my bike, my cycling clothes, pump
etc on vacation.......

It took me a week to wear out the Tacx T3000 model, a small hard pin cuts into the softer
surrounding metal creating a ramp. I have not had a good look at the T3075 model but durability
could be an issue.
