also I dont know how much j hooks cost, but I am going to assume they arent cheap due to covid. Does the job and is well made. As I got to last shelf, the holes did not line up. I was ready to buy it on the spot. These run in China sizes, so i did a 42 (in US sizes, Im between a 9- 10). 2 came with at least a basic attached base for stability. I got her a size 10 in these crocs, the 9 was too small. All in all this isn?t a bad cloths rack and if used for light cloths would probably work pretty well. Purchased this so I could mute volume it doesnt have that option If your bike has disc brakes, the skewer thats included with this trainer is TOO SHORT.
