GearUp Grand Single Bike Floor Stand

Product Information

This will get you something that’s more stable, more durable and more pleasurable to use. Which is important if you’re using it every day! Create zones for different activities. For example, designate one area for bike-related items, another place for tools and supplies, and a third area for sports gear.

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.Take advantage of overhead storage. Overhead storage systems are great for storing large items that don’t need to be accessed often. There are no silly questions here, and this is a very valid one. If your bike is being stored long term, it's important to keep some air in the tyres. Even without using your bike, the air very slowly escapes over time, so your tyres will eventually start to deflate, albeit extremely slowly. It’s better to spend a little bit more to get something that’s going to last many years. If you’re a weekend mechanic, you don’t need a professional repair stand. It’s OK to buy a stand that uses some plastic components, as long as it’s high quality plastic! There’s a huge variety of bike stands to choose from, ranging from the unbelievably cheap to the eye watering expensive.

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!). So I would say, if you want something that’s a significant upgrade on the Bike Hand stand, in all respects, you probably need to spend twice as much. Invest in clear plastic bins. These are great for storing small items like nuts and bolts and bulkier items like sporting gear. 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! Workbench and wall mounted stands can also be divided into the more economical options that are good enough for weekend mechanics and the more durable (but expensive) stands that are best if you’re a daily user.But it's also a great all rounder, that does everything reasonably well, with a couple of nice extra features that you don't get with other stands 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! While many of the options we've included here are for internal storage, some of us just don't have the space to keep our bikes indoors and need to look for an external solution. The PRO Bike Tool Wall Hanger is a sturdy and effective horizontal wall-mount bike hanger. This quality option supports one bike with two adjustable support arms that will accommodate a wide range of bike frame shapes and sizes. Each arm has three positions of adjustment to help achieve the proper angle and weight distribution for your bike, with U-shaped rubber frame cradles that work well with various frame tube shapes and sizes. The main support mast also has four positions of horizontal adjustment for up to 15 inches of wall clearance for the handlebar. It comes with an elastic cord to keep your front wheel straight, and PRO Bike Tool claims it can handle bikes up to 48.5 lbs. While testing, we discovered that the Wall Hanger could also pull double duty as a work stand for light-duty maintenance and repairs.

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 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. On the positive side, it’s a lot less expensive than the all metal, Park Tool bench mounts (see below). The 360° rotating head is very easy to adjust. And the 1 - 2.55" (25 - 65mm) clamp jaws will accommodate a wide range a frame sizes. And there's a lot of variation in the weight limits of different stands. So make sure the stand you choose can accommodate the weight of your bike.Horizontal wall-mount models typically mount to the wall and hold the bike horizontally, parallel to it. These bike hangers usually have support arms with cradles that hold the bike by its frame. The bikes take up more horizontal space than a vertical orientation, although they typically only protrude as far into your space as the width of the bike's handlebar. Horizontal models are highly versatile and work with a wide range of bike styles and sizes, although complex mountain bike frames and oddly weighted bikes may present some fit issues. The PRO Bike Tool Bike Hanger is a quality horizontal wall-mount. The Delta Cycle Michelangelo has a creative design that holds two bikes horizontally and supports itself with the force of gravity and doesn't require drilling into your walls. Ceiling Pay attention to the weight capacity of different repair stands too. E-bikes, cruisers and some city bikes can be really heavy.

Some bike stands are specifically designed for heavier bikes and we’ll look at them later. Height Adjustments And there can be quite a bit of variability in the maximum and minimum heights so that’s another thing to look for. So how good is it? Well, The Bike Hand bench mount has pretty much the same advantages and disadvantages as the YC-100BH floor stand, to be honest.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. If you’re looking for a way to save space and easily store your bike, the RAD Sportz Bicycle Hoist is the perfect solution. Its adjustable rope and pulley system make it simple to lift and lower even the heaviest of bike models, from mountain bikes to road bikes, with minimal effort. Conclusion
