REALLY Need a Bike Stand

[Pablo]

I have seven bikes to service over the winter (not immediately, thank goodness!)

You would think I would have a bike stand. Nope.

What is a good stand? What works for you? Say $200-$250 limit, but open to good budget stand. I think I would like a stand alone stand (v. bench mount)

What is the weight of the bike?

I have the Park ToolPCS-12.2 bench mount repair stand. It's a bench mount which means you have to turn the bike around to get to the other side, but the stand won't move, tip over, slide, etc.

What is the weight of the bike?

Heaviest e-bike is around 55 pounds give or take. OTOH my all carbon stumpy is so light, like a feather.

what I run but don’t think I’d use it on a 50lbs bike.
Feedback Sports ultralight bike stand.

Have a cheap something or another, Spin Doctor I think, bike rests on the bottom bracket and is clamped down at the bottom of the down tube. Not sure I would recommend it here, but it is a cheap one that gets me by.

Have you ever hung 55lbs on it

I have one of the Feedback stands. Definitely not the lightweight one. Holds all of our XXL fatbikes perfectly.

What weight are the bikes

No, but it’s no problem. The stand is super strong

 

[NYEngineer]

I know my Surly ICT weighs 33 pounds. My son's Growler is closer to 38. Stand doesn't flinch.

I've had a Park stand for about a decade and it does ok but if I were to buy again I'd be looking at this one. It handles my fatty (Trek Farley 9) as well as my lighter road bikes. That is my heaviest bike.

I have a wall mounted hanger for a bike which hinges up when not in use. Sorry, I have pic. Too many shadows in garage. I got it from Home Depot.

I've got a cheap one like this that I bought off Amazon or eBay some years back. Works well for me for doing work on my kid's or my bicycle.

I've got an older nashbar stand that resembles the park prs-25, with the clamp being slightly different. I'd want something sturdier for a 55lb bike. My stand has been great, but my heaviest one runs maybe 30 lbs. I wish I'd got one 30 years ago.

Funny you ask. I've been working on bikes for nearly 40 years and still don't own a service stand. I keep saying I should get one. I'll lurk on this thread just in case it's finally time.

I have one from Feedback. It's sturdy enough that I often use it for woodworking too (as a holder clamp when cutting boards). Big wide base, and folds up small.

Haven't pulled the trigger. Too wrapped up in organizing the shop first.
