    I’ve got this one – Park work stand– does the job well. Got it a couple of years ago when it was about 20 quid less though. If you’ve got a free garage wall then one of the wall bracket mounted ones would work.

    I managed to get the pro-elite (when they were Ultimate) on offer a while back (jaws open wide enough for the 2″ tubes on a recumbent bike), but the Sports Mechanic is 129 and might have been my next preference otherwise – both fold up well, v stable, etc. I’m sure the Park jobbie would do the job well, too.

    I got this one from Merlin:

    Mine is slightly different though. Not sure I’d need much else, particularly after I’ve got a bag of compost/water salt on the legs.

    I’ve had a Minoura Rs500 for a good few years now, highly rate it. Basically looks like the one EBC among others have copied, but a bit sturdier, and with a much nicer clamp!

    Ultimates are meant to be good too if you can justify the cash.
