About this deal

However, if you’re a mechanic, who’ll be using their repair stand on a daily basis, on lots of different bikes (or your a weekend mechanic who’s not particularly cost conscious), then it makes sense to spend more.

The Topeak PrepStand Pro is certainly not the cheapest bicycle repair stand. But it’s probably the most stable. And it’s the only one with built in electronic scales!New, ratcheting and rotating crank for jaw closure is faster and one-hand operable: closes 60% faster than Pro Oversized anodized 6061 T6 aluminum construction is ultralight, corrosion resistant and incredibly durable I’m going to divide those looking for a bike repair stand into two distinct groups: weekend and daily mechanics. Available travel bag is water-resistant, durable and padded to protect the stand and your other equipment. Bike work stands come in a couple of different styles. The seatpost/top tube clamp style stand is far more popular and the more common of the two. These types of stands have large curved jaws that clamp around the seatpost, seat tube, or top tube of your frame. They hold the bike suspended in the air so you can work on any part of it and also turn the pedals. Clamp-style models typically feature adjustments for height and clamp angle to suit your preferences or the repair at hand. Clamp-style stands are generally relatively simple and user-friendly and can accommodate virtually every type of bike and various sizes and shapes of tubing. Home mechanic work stands are typically portable and collapse down to a convenient small size for storage and travel.

It will save you a load of floor space. And even better, they’re usually more stable and much cheaper than their floor standing cousins! I've been using the Topeak Dual-touch with three bike mounts for years. In a laundry room with extra vertical space I can just barely fit my wife's bike, my city bike, and my sons mountain bike. As he keeps growing, and his bike keeps getting bigger, I keep adjusting the mount for his bike. He's now up to a 24" wheel though and I've still managed to fit all three. Make no mistake: this is a heavy duty, professional bike mount, that will last for years and years. Yes, it’s expensive, but if you’re a daily mechanic, working on lots of different bikes, then it’s undoubtedly worth paying the extra money for the Park Tools mount. The clamp is easy to use, with a wide opening that can fit even the fattest frames and it can be rotated through 360° (like all bike stands) to ensure you can manoeuvre the bike in any position you like.Portable and compact construction creates a remarkably small folded footprint of 5″ x 8″ x 45″ (13 x 20 x 115cm) Unless there’s a very specific reason to not go with a clamping repair stand (some people worry about the clamps damaging their carbon fibre frames), they should be the default choice for both casual and more serious mechanics. Sliding Clamps vs Claw Clamps If you are asking about storing expensive bikes you are clearly worried about damaging your pride and joy. We understand nice bikes with nice wheels, and just how annoying a scratch can be. Likewise, stands like the IceToolz or even the Topeak Flash Stand are half way houses that are going to be frustrating to use and will ultimately be replaced by a proper stand!

There is another way to look at efficiency though. Efficiency of space is one interpretation but efficiency of resources is another. Stated more simply, "what's the most affordable way to store a bike?" If that's your angle on efficiency there's really no better solution than a screw-in hook like the one we featured from Park Tool. It works, it's inexpensive, and it also makes pretty good use of space. How do you store expensive bikes? Secondly, it has a much higher bike weight limit of 100 lb (45 kg), which means that it will have no problems with even the heaviest of e-bikes and cruisers. Just make sure your workbench can handle that much weight! 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. Ease of Setup

Birzman Feexstand

They’re compatible with every type of bike. You have multiple places you can attach your bike. And you don’t have to keep taking your wheel on and off every time you want to test your work! Most, (but not all) repair stands can be made taller or shorter. This is important if you are very tall (but less so if you’re particularly small!).
