I have the one in the second link, bought from a bike shop online, it's pretty good, does everything I need it for!

Highly recommend one with a lever not a knob to open/close the clamp, so much easier to use with one hand while the bike is in the other

The first link is the one that lidl sells occasionally. I have one from lidl. Search here for some reviews/feedback. I'm very happy with it for the money. Add a strip of tape to the right angle arm, which prevents the arm slipping slightly when holding the bike

edit: it is the one walla24 suggests, not the first link. Agree that the lever closure is better than a knob

Lidl are doing their cycling event again from the 17th so may have more of those stands. Very happy with mine.

I have the second one. It's OK, clamps nice and tight and the magnetic tray is pretty useful.

don't get one with a knob. Get a lever.

3 legs will be more stable than the 4 leg ones but they are really quite good and stiff for the money.

I think the last one looks the best, shame it has 4 legs.
