Bike Stand

instinct

Hi all,

Hope someone knows of a good deal going. I have looked on most main sites for bike stands and while I dont have a set budget in mind I am looking for the best deal but also a decent stand that raises the bike off the ground and is compact enough not to take up too much space in my shed when not in use.

What can you recommend ?

Cheers

Mark

Bikehut do a excellent one from a compact/folding POV. However I personally find if your using a heavier bike such as a full susser, you have to lower the stand as its to stable enough. They also use a plastic bushing on the clamp area which isnt too durable if your constantly disassembling it. Its quite light , made from aluminium, and the tubing is strong enough, ive taken some tubes off to use as levers , They didnt deform.

Other than this id reccomend it, I got it for e70 which is excellent value for what it is, thats minoura stand level, and minoura stands are ****e.
When folded , depending on the space you need its about 3ft high and half foot wide, or you can leave it assembled and it will fit in a corner no hassle.

Hey thanks for the feedback. It would be for a hardtail so I want something stable enough.

Here is a deal I stumbled across this morning. I think its pretty good and may order later. It doesnt appear that legs fold when not in use but sure it can live in the corner of the shed and not cause much of a hassle.
