I've also used a similar set for years. Have never had one slip.

I think I actually bought mine from nashbar.com or Performance Bike but for
some reason their servers aren't responding right now. The only thing you need
to pay attention to is how well the hooks are "hooked"
under the rear of the saddle, which is entirely determined by the design of
your saddle. You can always use an additional piece of velcro to make sure the
hook can't slip. I've never seen the rope/hoist mechanism slip, and people I
know, as well as myself, have been using these things for years. I bolted mine
to 2x4s which are longer than the rafter spacing in my garage and I then just
place them across the rafters like a bridge. That allows me to easily move
them or temporarily take them down if they're in the way for any reason.
