Workstand headsup ;)

Just been into edinburgh bicycle today, They are selling bike workstands off at £50

If you log onto CRC its the same as this 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 rich-6 – 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 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. 😳

Only problem is it doesn't look like the ones in bike shops so therefore uncool.

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.
