Product Information

We scrutinized the design and functionality of each stand and rated them on the following criteria: Ease of Setup, Stability, Clamp, Angle Adjustment, Height Adjustment, Portability, and Everyday Maintenance.

Unior is well known for its tools, and the Gator+ bike repair stand is fantastic if you're consistently repairing bikes with the same seat tube diameter. The clamp on the Gator+ is based on the design of a proper workshop stand with a big lever operating the jaws, however it's limited to tubes up to 32mm which will put off many mountain bikers and aero roadies. More common and usually cheaper, these are often a riders first point of entry into a life of constant bicycle maintenance.

A bike work stand is an investment and it's something you should be able to use and abuse for years to come. Most stands, even on the more budget-friendly end of the price spectrum, will have replaceable jaw protectors and should be readily available through an authorised dealer. 6. Clamp, not race stands Clamp-style stands hold the bike by the seatpost or frame tubes (although clamping the tubing can damage your frame, so we’d recommend the seatpost). They don’t work well on all aero seatposts and non-round tubes, since the clamping mechanism is usually circular.

Oversized anodized 6061 T6 aluminum construction is ultralight, corrosion resistant and incredibly durable If you have a dedicated space or think of yourself as more than a home mechanic, a permanent, pro-style stand, like the Park Tool Deluxe Double Arm Professional Work Stand, might better suit your needs. These are generally heavier, cost more and have a sturdier clamping system - should you ever need to crank down on a bolt or pedal that just wont budge - these repair stands help by either sitting on a heavy duty base or are permanently installed on your workshop floor. And if you plan to work on e-bikes, make sure the stand can support the weight and has a wide enough base to be stable when loaded. Many repair stands have a weight limit that’s high enough to support most e-bikes, but some of the lighter and/or portable stands that are meant for travel may not be appropriate. The Lifeline Pro workstand claims to blend pro-level build quality with ease of use, at a price that’s appealing to the home mechanic. It also boasts a maximum bike weight limit of 40kg, making it suitable for e-bikes, and has a wider range of height adjustment than most competing workstands too. Lifeline uses a mix of heavy duty aluminium and steel tubing to aid long-term durability and deal with heavier e-bikes, and at 9.5kg its weight is noticeable. It is 4kg heavier than more portable lightweight options, and it measures 1.5m when folded, so it’s not an ideal choice for the car boot. However, this is not an issue for home use, where the excellent clamp is a highlight, and the fact that the stand can be raised high enough to create a comfortable working height even if you’re over 6ft. In our experience, outside of commercial settings, folding stands work best for the majority of consumers and are usually plenty stable enough to work on a variety of surfaces.
