A clamp designed for bike repair stands to hold your bike securely. The modern carbon fiber and aerodynamic shapes are designed to go fast and not be fixed in a work stand. Safe for paintwork.
• Non-marking, paint-safe cones
• Extruded aluminum construction
• Restraint straps for added security
• Eliminates costly repairs related to tightening a
frame and carbon cracking
The pressure clamps used on contemporary work stands were developed for round steel tubing over 40 years ago, before carbon fiber, aluminum, aerodynamic and oversized tube shapes, integrated seat masts, dropper posts, and suspension systems.
These legacy designs assume that your bike's tubes are both round and straight, and when they aren't, the clamp can transmit very high point loads to the edges of the clamp, causing finish damage, internal damage to the carbon layup, or outright crushing of the tubes on the lightest designs.
With Hirobel, specially shaped, paint-friendly cones and fasteners cradle the frame at the tube intersections, where wall thicknesses are higher and forces can be distributed over much larger areas. Adjustable and adaptable to any possible frame design, the Hirobel also allows the repair stand clamp to be located closer to the bike's center of gravity, improving stability and eliminating bike bounce during heavier work while also placing the drivetrain higher for improved mechanic visibility while reducing back strain.
