Where to buy a display stand like this?

[mvrider]

I've seen this in various venues, colors and labels, so they must come from the same stamping plant. Does anyone know where to get them inexpensively in the U.S.?

Total Cycling had this example, but I don't really want to order it from the U.K.:

A couple of my LBS's carry those at about $30 each.

Here's one at Amazon:

KD....velotech can get them for you

These are great stands.

But if you have a 29er, don't bother.

Yeah, I asked Tom at Velotech about his stands, but I didn't like the graphics on them, and they were ~$60.

That Amazon one is the right one. Price still seems high considering the more complicated and functional Feedback stand is only ~$5 more.

Any dealer who has a QBP account (item# MA2280) can get one of those branded as Ridley, probably similarly priced at an LBS...$30-35.

According to my LBS, theRidley branded ones are out of stock at QBP until early next week. They list in the low $40's.

Apparently Shimano has one in their "Pro Line" as well but also currently out of stock.

I have actually been having problems with the feedbakk rakk lately, it seems to hold my bike at an angle, and when my tubbies deflate overnight the bike gets perilously close to falling over.

Does this slide between the QR and the dropout (ie loosen the QR to fit stand) or does it go behind the dropout and rest on the axle?

[Bruce K]

It is my understanding that the skewer nut on the non-drive side slides down the slot. No changes are needed to the bike.

The tire sits on the bottom in the big hole to provide stability.

Thanks for the additional links!

At my LBS, I've seen the vertical fork slide between the rear drop-out and the hub flange on the non-drive side.

We sell those at the shop I work at. The ones we have are branded Giant, but as others have pointed out, they are available from several sources. IMHO, they aren't really that stable, don't hold the bike any better than leaning it against a post. They are reasonably sized and portable though.
We've had much better luck with theseWilworx Super Stand (http://www.willworx.com/products.html) You can put the rear or front wheel in the stand, will fit 29er with a little squeezing and the top removes via two spring loaded buttons for storage and transport.

I got me a Willworx recently, and it definitely is stable.

But it sure is BIG.

I prefer this type of stand (see below). Again comes from various "manufacturers," and has the benefit of letting you do basic mechanics, such as lubing the chain, adjusting the rear derailleur, and more.

I have multiple feedbakk rakks ... mine are branded "ultimate" but it is the case you need to stay on it with tire inflation else they will lean...a lot!.

I find it dangerously unstable.
I have a few tires that the process of putting the pump on them causes them to deflate quite a bit before the locking valve on the pump cuts off air flow.

Most recently, when this happened, my bike half fell over and I ended up half catching it and half ripping the valve out of my valve extender.

That has made me search since for a more stable alternative...

I like being able to use this type for simple maintenance work.

The only issues I have with them are 1) Sometimes the hooks / rests can snag your spokes (depends on the wheel), and 2) Depending on where you have the wheel magnet sensor, sometimes you run out of room on the left chainstay for the lower support. Other than that, they're great.
