I’m looking for a bike repair stand, but working to a limited budget. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Check out the Rose bikes website mentioned on the bike forum, sure I saw a decent stand on there for 30 something pounds .

Mr Kip bought a stand from Amazon called the Velomann for £67 or thereabouts. He thinks it’s great especially as it folds up easily. It’s very sturdy, tripod stand, QR clamp, has a tool tray.

However, it took ages to put together and he’s pretty handy at that sort of thing. He had to read the instructions, it was that difficult.

To give you an example of his general handiness, he’s just replaced the shock and wheel bearings on his motorbike with little fuss or hassle.

Otherwise much recommended especially as once it’s together that’s it.

Decathlon have a good cheap non-folding one. Mine was £35 and has seen over 3 years of abuse from me and my son and his cack-handed mates.

hmm rose bikes have this one which is cheap but im sceptical about holding up a big bike

kimbers how do I like them on facebook ?- I have an account but never really use FB

go to the rose website click on teh facebook icon at the top right hand and follow the instructions

although my fracking voucher code doesnt seem to work anyway!

fracking – is that a star wars swear word 😉
Cheers

my fracking code does not work either have mailed them

Thanks for the recommendations. Have order the Decathlon stand, £40 plus £3.99 for delivery, which seemed pretty reasonable.

that rose one looks good but the feet don’t fold which is a shame.

fracking is from battlestar galactica

fracking, yeah for the BG reference!!!
