Just been into edinburgh bicycle today, They are selling bike workstands off at £50
If you log onto CRC its the same as [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=15815 ]this[/url] one only black and with a different brand on it
I got one anyway 😀
Been using one for years and like it.
Many thanks - been looking to buy one. Just ordered one with free delivery 🙂
Thanks [b]rich-6[/b] - I've also been looking to get a workstand for a while. Ordered one at 2:15pm today (Monday), had email to say it'll be delivered (free) on Wednesday. 🙂
Just bought one. fingers crossed......
I'm not allowed it til christmas 😯
ah wel at least santa can bring it to me 😆
I was looking at that at the weekend, not as nice as my minoura but still looks solid. Big park-style clamp. Don't think you can go far wrong really.
Do these fold down small?
I had this stand and paid £45 for it from ribble cycles a few year back.
It was somewhat unstable ,ie if you clamped the seat post and took the back wheel of a full sus bike it would tend to topple over.
As long as you know this its fine but I bought a steel Park stand which is solid and does not topple over.

Yes they do fold down small

Sounds like you didn't set it up properly - my bike is pretty heavy and never comes anywhere near making it topple over when taking wheels off etc
I'm very pleased with mine - might get the tool tray thing to go with it.
I want a wall mounted one for the garage.
mehhhhhhhhhhhhh.............
£30 in decathlon for an under the BB style one,
Much more stable, would take quite a push to get it over!
Only problem is it doesn't look like the ones in bike shops so therefore uncool.
Oh yeah [url= http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/ws-100-workstand-3960349/ ]decathlon one looks pretty good[/url], tilt-able I presume? and are those guards for stopping forks swinging about?
I got the CRC one from LBS last year £60ish, pretty good and packs down small. Can't say I've noticed it being unstable unless you don't do the QR up properly - and you only do that once. 😳

My mate had one of the decathlon ones but when he got a new bike (meta 5.5) it wouldn't work with it - something to do with the shape/size of the BB.
The one in the OP is very versatile too - easy to get the bike at pretty much any angle/height you might want.
Thanks for the nod rich-6, might have a look at one this weekend.
