Bike Repair Stands

Let’s face it, its tough out there. You have had to cut back on your lattes, maybe even cutting out going to the movies. Maybe you are riding your bike more and you are in need of doing some repairs to your bike. There are How-to-Books on “Do it your self bike repair”, but one thing a book won’t have is a work stand for use as you repair your bike. Let’s look at the different types of bicycle stands and what to look for before you purchase one.

When considering which bike work or repair stand to purchase there are a few elements that should not be overlooked. First your budget may be the predominant factor in deciding which type of cycle work stand you ultimately purchase. Bike stands range in price from $50 on up toward $300. Once your budget has been determined, it’s time to dive in and see what features are most important and cannot be compromised.
The first feature we want to look at is how stable is the bike repair stand? The last thing you want to worry about while you are working on your bike is if the stand will fall over or not. Let’s face it, who wants their $3,000 bike to fall over on them while they are doing a repair job; any takers?
The next feature we will look at is portability. For many people the ability to bring their stand with them as they go on a road trip is important. Most of the portable style cycle stands are actually more expensive and sometimes less sturdy as well.
Clamp quality is a big concern as well. The professional grade bicycle work stand options have the best quality clamps. You need to consider how big your down tube is and can the clamp be easily adjusted to fit any size bike that you may need to work on.
