BIKE HAND Bicycle Repair Stand Maximum Load 50 kg / 60 Pound, Bicycle Repair Stand with Magnetic and 360° Rotating Head

Product Information

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. NOTE. The controller (and its remote control) is not absolutely necessary and it can be substituted with a polarity reversal switch or even omitted and the lift operated in each direction by switching the polarity of the supply leads. The linear actuator stops itself at the top and bottom so there is no chance of over-run or damage. Furthermore jaw aperture adjustment should be a priority given the variety of tube diameters on the market today. The Lifeline Pro workstand claims to blend pro-level build quality with ease of use, at a price that’s appealing to the home mechanic. It also boasts a maximum bike weight limit of 40kg, making it suitable for e-bikes, and has a wider range of height adjustment than most competing workstands too. Lifeline uses a mix of heavy duty aluminium and steel tubing to aid long-term durability and deal with heavier e-bikes, and at 9.5kg its weight is noticeable. It is 4kg heavier than more portable lightweight options, and it measures 1.5m when folded, so it’s not an ideal choice for the car boot. However, this is not an issue for home use, where the excellent clamp is a highlight, and the fact that the stand can be raised high enough to create a comfortable working height even if you’re over 6ft.

You can compare the max loads, max and min height, and weights of a load of bike stands in the tables below. Some workstands have adjustable "arms" more than a single clamp. These can be moved around to provide two points of support where suitable- perhaps the downtube and under the chainstays. Are you in the market for the best new bike work stand?

The best mountain bike repair work stands make working on your mountain bike a much more comfortable and convenient experience. Whether it’s regular maintenance, installing an upgrade, or fixing a broken part, a decent work stand elevates your bike off the ground to improve access and let you spin the wheels and operate the drivetrain while working on the gears and brakes. And because most home work stands are lightweight and foldable, they don’t take up too much room when not in use. And there can be quite a bit of variability in the maximum and minimum heights so that’s another thing to look for. Finance is subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history.

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. 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.
