[Closed] Workstands

PCS 10, is excellent I use one at work and the races

look on merlin there are a couple of nice feed back sport ones ....

cheaper park ones are pish - esp the 2 legged ones - anything other than flat surface it wants to fall over !

there is a nice three legged one for 125 on merlin - or 180 for the next one up

The one that Edinburgh Bicycle have on offer at the moment is great - bought one last year. About £60 if I recall. I can't compare it to the Park though, but for the money it's exceptional value.

I've got one of these ^^^ , never had any issues with it in the last 6 years.

I've got an Edinburgh Bicycle one and it's great but could do with a wider base for a bit more stability.

We bought a mate one from Decathlon for around £60 and it's better IMO - the clamp's more fiddly than mine, but the legs go 4 ways and are longer for more stability. It doesn't fold up like mine though.

+1 on the Edinburgh Bicycle's revolution one. I got it earlier this year. Worth every penny.

PCS9 been fine for me - well stable and the clamp is an all metal one.

It's the folding mechanism that's the problem, plus it just hasn't got the feel of the PCS10.

I got the minora one recommended in the mag a couple of months ago. Excellent value and very sturdy

I've got the [url= http://www.parktool.com/product/deluxe-home-mechanic-repair-stand ]PCS-4[/url] which is excellent. ChainReaction do them for about £200 which makes it a bit pricey but the clamp is excellent and the thing will last longer than me. It is more of a permanent stand though, the legs just pivot closed rather than fold up, so if portability is needed, look at the [url= http://www.parktool.com/product/PCS-10 ]PCS-10[/url]

I happen to have a PCS-10 in the house at the moment as I'm keeping it for a friend to give to her husband for Christmas. Obviously I haven't used it, but have put it together and I have to say it does look a quality piece of kit

I have a topeak [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=2928 ]Prep stand elite[/url] excellent piece of kit for the money compared to equivalent park tool, accesories are cheap for it to, folds away into a neat little bag that comes with it, and it copes with 38lbs DH rig no problem. £169.99 @ CRC I have seen it cheaper elsewhere £149.99 but cant remember where.

I've got one of these from Merlin - [url= http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/Bike+Shop/Workshop++Tools/Workshop/Workstands/Bike+Tools+Workstand_BIKE-TOOLS-WORKSTAND-MASTER.htm ]Bike Tools Workstand[/url]. For the money it's excellent (was also recommended in the STW mag). With the 10% discount offer today it's will be under £60

with discount codes I got the bike tools one for £50 here [url= http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/pp/road-track-bike/Workstands/WORK ]Ribble cycles - workstands[/url]. Like dougie says recommended in STW mag and 10/10 in cycling plus. The one below look interesting aswell.

I had the Park Tools Pro stand for 6 years and still going strong - its expensive but built like a brick sh1t house and weight a ton but I think that's why it has lasted 🙂

+1 for the revolution stand. There are loads that use this and rebrand it. Head can be a little flexy and yes it could be more stable but for the money its great.

I've the Park 9 and tbh I think its a quality piece of kit and like its clamp far better than the 10's as I've a number of bikes all with different sized seat posts.

I've never taken it down, so can't comment on its 'portability'.

But having had a cheaper stand before, I wouldn't buy another cheap one.

I've got a PCS9 and it's fine
it's a bit wobbly and the height adjust clamp is a bit rubbish, but it does the job

I got a PRS 15 from Merlin delivered £185 a couple of months back.........it ace 😉

Some places wanted twice that. 😯

dougieb THANKS for that info, just ordered one at £60 less a few pence , as Ive been looking for a while to get a stand but hated the high costs! It will certainly be a good upgrade from my currentworkprop` which keeps bike upright via a stand and hook to LHS chain / seat stays. Cheers 🙂
