Workstand recommendations requested

[mktng]

you looking for something you can haul around?
or something that'll be sticking around your shop area.

i have a work stand like this.
it'll likely last a lifetime.

mine is on small caster wheels. making it easy to roll out of the way if needed. even fully loaded with tools and a bike on it.

the massive tool tray is also really useful.

only thing im trying to wrap my head around is how i'll service my TA bikes on it :P (ideas welcome)

I'm partial to this Tacx workstand.

That's why you don't clamp anywhere but the seatpost.

I constantly see pics of people clamping tubes and cringe.

If you go with the Feedback traditional clamp style spend the money on the Pro elite to get the quick release clamp head. As others have mentioned, thats a really great and useful feature.

I also have the feedback sprint stand. very nice, love that you can spin the bike around. if you decide on the beam style, look closely at the Park. I think the Park may be more flexible across multiple axles diameters and spacings.

each style has it's +/- but if I had to choose one, it would be the beam for my needs. so as suggested, evaluate the style based on your bikes and needs.

I have both because found each new on local CL for ridiculous prices

The Hirobel looks interesting https://silca.cc/products/hirobel-clamp. Might get one to work with my old Park workstand. Pricey though.

I get that silca is a premium product with precision tolerances in their pumps and tools. This however is a piece of metal with two rubber bands. make the price $95 and these fly off the shelf.

These don't swivel (unless you put them on casters), but they look nice and sturdy:




Oh, wait, just noticed you later posted that space is a premium. This one folds:

thanks all, i re-ordered a pro elite. wish i had the kind of dedicated space to get a full fledged pro shop stand that doesn't need to be put away, but alas, nope.
