GearUp Grand Single Bike Floor Stand

Product Information

However, if you don’t need portability and you’ve got an appropriate space, don’t dismiss a workbench or wall mounted bike clamp. They’re more stable and cheaper than floor mounted bike stands. 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! Actually, that's not totally true. You can configure the Bike Rac in whatever way you want. Each of the arms is able to rotate and face either up or down plus the whole unit will slide closer or farther from the wall or rotate. If you need to account for sloped tope tubes, no problem. If you want a little bit of stability though, it's possible to have one arm up and one arm down. I wouldn't try to put a lot of pressure on the bike but it's quite a bit more stable than just hanging there. I tend to be lazy about pulling out a work stand and this should be a great option for things like adjusting shifting and or even getting a saddle just right. First of all, it’s height adjustable, with a range between 16.25" (92 cm) and 6.5" (41 cm) above the surface of the workbench. This gives you a lot more flexibility than the Venzos fixed 7" (18 cm).

Invest in clear plastic bins. These are great for storing small items like nuts and bolts and bulkier items like sporting gear. 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. 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. 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. 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!).The Delta Cycle Michelangelo Two Bike Gravity Stand is an upright bike stand with a unique design that supports itself with the force of gravity. It holds up to two bikes horizontally, one above the other, with adjustable support arms that work with a huge variety of bike styles and frame shapes. The support arms are easily adjustable, and the cradles are coated with non-marking rubber to protect your bike frames. It also comes with two small accessory hooks to hold a helmet or other gear. The Michelangelo can fit against any vertical wall with 84 inches of height clearance and does not require drilling holes into your wall (it comes with a support strap that can be attached to the wall if you choose). The rubber feet grip well on a variety of surfaces, including concrete, wood, tile, and even carpet, and it has a claimed weight limit of 80 lbs. We like its clean, modern design, which works as well in a home, apartment, or office as it does in a garage. Which type of repair stand you choose and how much you spend, will very much depend on how you're going to use it. So let’s look at that first. 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?

So if you have a suitable post or wall (only into the stud on a dry wall!), then this could be a cost effective alternative to the workbench model. Do bear in mind that it won’t be height adjustable though, so it won’t be quite as versatile. The Worst Bike Stands The hoist is made of durable, weather-resistant materials, and the rope is made from a durable nylon rope with a 125-pound capacity to handle almost any bike. It also has a pulley system for easier lifting, and the rope is adjustable to fit any height. The hoist is easy to use and is a great way to store bikes and provide easy access when needed. For sure: steel components will be stronger and will last longer with intense use over time. But if you’re a weekend mechanic, you can be confident that the Bike Hand stand is built to last a long time! 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! It uses the same clamp head as the Bike Hand YC-100BH floor stand (see above). But in this case it’s attached to a metal T bar with a square plate at the bottom, which you will need to bolt onto your work bench (bolts not included!).There’s a huge variety of bike stands to choose from, ranging from the unbelievably cheap to the eye watering expensive. 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. The RAD Sportz Bicycle Hoist is a great design for anyone looking to free up some space in their garage or shed. The hoist kit has all the necessary components to lift your bicycle to the ceiling in seconds securely. The hoist is made from a durable nylon rope with a 125-pound capacity to handle almost any bike. The included mounting hardware lets you attach the hoist to the ceiling or wall studs for a secure fit.
