[Closed] What's the best workstand?

I use Park ps10. Very stable and simple to use. Fairly heavy though as it's solidly built.

I've got a Ultimate Pro Elite which is nice

Kestrel are very good indeed but pricey

I used to have a kestrel stand, and what a bit of kit! excellent indeed! really well built, the same stuff you'd find in bike shops all over!

£200-ish new, i bought mine for £80 off of ebay but had to sell it when i moved a few years ago.

quality bit of kit though!

Ive got a merlin workstand [url= http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/?fn=product&productId=77&categoryId=15 ][b][u]here[/u][/b][/url] £67
Best thing i've bought

mmm,merlin looks good, anyone got it with the tool kit as well - how to the tools rate?

I use an Ultimate repair stand too, think it's the 'lite' version - excellent stand. Holds my bike, what else can I say.

smudge how does this fare holding yer bike? i think i borrowed my mates who has the same one and it kep slipping down when fully loaded. my bike weighs in at around 16kg so fairly heavy but no monster...

merlin one really isn't that good. spend the money and buy either the basic park one or the basic ultimate one. a world apart.

I bought the lifeline (merlin) one and am dissapointed with the quality and yes it slips, and most annoying ly there is a LOT of play in the toothed joint at the top.

PCS10 - Park, fantastic. Holds 40-50lb bikes happily. best buy I made

when i have the garage space i want one of these:

although i suppose it means you're always restricted to one location...

I bought the Lifeline Spin Doctor a few weeks back

no complaints so far. Pretty sturdy construction that should last a while.

Ultimate Pro Elite here. Bought in a merlin cycles sale. Very good - good build quality, easy to use, cleans up well etc etc.

Ultimate Pro Classic here - highly recommended, managed to snap one of the clamps a while back but got it replaced quickly FoC
