Product Information

Having been around for a number of years now, the Hornit Clug is often cited as one of the simplest ways to secure a bike to a wall. It's essentially a small cube mounted to the wall, so when not in use it's very discreet. It takes advantage of the flex that tyres have, so all you have to do is wheel your bike vertically towards the wall and push the tyre into the Clug. The tyre will naturally distort to fit through the pinch point, and this holds your bike into place, while the rear wheel rests on the floor. Having an electric motor assisting your folding bike journey means you can commute without having to worry about getting sweaty in your work clothes. Folding bike wheel size: Models with smaller wheels will be lighter and more compact when folded, but won’t gather as much momentum on the road. A folding bike with larger wheels will be much faster rolling once the wheels are up to speed - but will likely weigh more and will be a little more cumbersome to load onto public transport or haul up a few flights of stairs. 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. Spending more will give you a better-quality stand that can handle more advanced repairs and will have more features. These go a long way to making the repair work more comfortable, but make sure you’re only paying for what you need.

With a delivery price well in excess of what most people are prepared to pay for an entire bicycle repair stand, the Hirobel Carbon Frame Clamp is going to remain pretty rare even among diehard home workshop fettlers. But if you have a fleet of bikes, strange carbon aero shapes, or very short exposed lengths of seatpost, this may well be the workstand accessory you've been looking for all these years. Where we've been able to link to a review, it means that we've put the bike through its paces. This means that we've ridden it over varying terrain and distances to assess it's performance across a range of factors. For folding bikes this means testing the folding mechanism for ease of use as well as the general suitability of the bike for commuting purposes - for example we consider how easy it is to carry and store. Disc brakes are also beginning to appear on folding bikes, offering greater stopping power and control – especially in wet weather. They'll add more to the weight than rim brakes, however. Load capacity: this isn’t going to matter so much if you’re only working on a 7kg road bike, but a strong stand is crucial for those who own downhill mountain bikes or even electric bikes. Often, as the load rating goes up, so does the stand’s weight, which makes them less ideal for portability. The load capacity is also a clue to the rigidity of the stand – if it can hold a 45kg bike well, it’s cerainly going to hold a 10kg bike very securely.The lightest folding e-bike we’ve seen actually available to buy is the A-bike at 12kg, but most models are over 15kg and over 20kg isn’t an unreasonable mass. The Mariner D8 is on of US brand Dahon's most popular folding bikes, and with its all round performance, it's clear to see why. There are many different brands offering folding bikes, and what might be the perfect option for one person may be the wrong one for another. Key differences can be found in folding mechanism, wheel size, weight and price. Because of what they do, folding bikes are popular among commuters who will opt for components that are easy to maintain and reliable. Lightweight folding bikes: If you intend to be hoisting the bike on and off trains, then it's understandable that you want it to be light. This can be achieved through using a lighter frame material. Brompton has introduced titanium to its range and there are brands, such as Hummingbird, making carbon folders. Higher quality components will also reduce the weight, as will opting for fewer gears - such as a singlespeed version - but this will only really suit someone who doesn't expect to come across many hills in their use of the bike.

We really rated the non-electric Tern Verge X11, so have complete confidence that the powered Tern Vektron will also be one of the best folding bikes on the market. John has been writing about bikes and cycling for over 30 years since discovering that people were mug enough to pay him for it rather than expecting him to do an honest day's work.

While most workstands will accommodate most bikes, owners of carbon fibre bikes should shop carefully for one that will lift a bike clamped by the seatpost to working height, or use a race-style repair stand.
