Feedback Sports Pro-Elite Repair Stand with Travel Bag (Red)

Product Information

Clamping a bike by the seatpost can mean having to move the post to secure enough 'real estate' for the clamp – risking misalignment of the saddle, returning it to the wrong height or ultimately stripping the clamp bolts through repeated tightening/loosening. With modern bike-fit principles setting seat height to within fractions of a millimetre, you don't want to be getting this wrong... can anyone recommend a small stand just to lift the rear wheel off the ground to make chain cleaning easier? If your stand has hard plastic jaws then line with a soft cloth, or wrap the jaws in old inner tubes to achieve the same effect. Can I clamp my dropper post?

The action is smooth, but you'll need to adjust the clamping tension before you're trying to balance a bike in one hand and spin the threaded adjuster rod with the other - a spring-loaded version of the clamp is also available. The jaws are lined with rubber, so there is no need to insulate your frame with a rag. Your selection entirely depends on how long, how hard and the location where you are going to ride. Spare some timeWeight: 9.5kg | Working height: 120-198cm | Clamp offset: N/A | Leg footprint: 100cm | Rating: 10/10 He was heavily involved in the mountain bike boom of the late 1980s as a racer, team manager and race promoter, and that led to writing for Mountain Biking UK magazine shortly after its inception. He got the gig by phoning up the editor and telling him the magazine was rubbish and he could do better. Rather than telling him to get lost, MBUK editor Tym Manley called John’s bluff and the rest is history. Before you start hunting for a new bike, make sure you spend some doing research to avoid problems in future. You need plan right and buy right so do not rush into hasty decisions.

Feedback Sport Mechanic Repair Stand - BikeMag Tested: Feedback Sport Mechanic Repair Stand - BikeMag

For most of us, our local bike shop will always come to the rescue for major repairs that require specialty tools or mechanic skills beyond our knowledge. But it doesn’t hurt to learn a few simple fixes or even to service your own bike to prevent small problems from becoming bigger (and more expensive) ones. And by working on your own bike, you not only save time and money, you also become more familiar with it and get to know how it works. A good repair stand is a must for the most efficient home-repair experience. It holds your bike safely and conveniently, leaving your hands free to adjust components and giving you easier access to all critical service points. Depending on your level of expertise, you can opt for a basic bike repair stand or one that’s a bit higher-end. Our recommendations include both. Combine this with the difficulty of clamping increasingly thinner-walled and strangely shaped hydroformed alloy tubing or complex 3D carbon layups, and what's an honest fettler to do? Enter the Hirobel Carbon Frame Clamp. Portable and compact construction creates a remarkably small folded footprint of 5" x 8" x 45" (13 x 20 x 115cm)

Decathlon is always a great source of bargains, and this B’Twin 500 Bike Workstand is no exception. Nothing else will let you get both wheels of your bike off the ground, and ready to work on, for less cash. The working height is really good, too, so it’s a comfortable stand to use. 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. We know a few weight weenies that weigh their bike just about every week, and for those that prioritise grams over everything else, the Topeak Prep Stand offers a clever alternative to the awkward hanging scale, with an integrated gram counter. With three 71cm legs, the stand has a wide footprint and is stable on uneven ground; plus it's one of the fastest to go from the carry bag to prepped and ready for a bike.

Might even be a good idea to remove that picture entirely so to not spread more crazy ideas on the internet. They're a cheap way to store several bikes without leaning them on each other or using wall supports, and they fold away to nothing.To create a comprehensive review that is representative of the best bike work stands, we researched all of the top models on the market and chose nine of the best to test and compare side-by-side. Each stand was tested for an extended period using a variety of bikes and performing everything from routine maintenance tasks like lubing a chain or washing to more involved jobs like swapping out a drivetrain or dropper seat post.
