Bike Repair Stand (Max 88lbs) - Bench/ Wall Mount Bike Workstand - E Bike Repair Stand Shop Home Mechanics for Mountain Bike and Road Bike

Nice and beefy. Steel tubes with a clamp molded from what appears to be glass-reinforced nylon. The clamp works pretty smoothly and I'm pretty sure this would live up to its 88-pound weight rating. Luckily, my e-bike isn't that heavy. The rotation of the arm using a splined interface and the large handle works smoothly and is much more secure than the friction clamping mechanism some other workstands use. Tolerances seem to be good and tight. Assembling the column and the arm took a little bit of wrestling, but on the bright side there's absolutely no play in any of the joints. This will make it much easier to adjust or clean my bike's drivetrain and bleed the hydraulic brakes. Excellent for the price. Would I prefer a Park workstand? Of course, but not for several times the price of this. I don't do enough bike maintenance to justify that.Ignore the negative reviews. Don't worry about the review that said the column extended below the base plate. That one was obviously a manufacturing defect and the buyer should have returned it for a replacement. Mine is perfectly flush with the bottom. A second review claims there were missing parts. They also should have used Amazon's free return policy to get a replacement, but some people are more interested in complaining loudly than getting things fixed. Other bad reviews are because of user error and incompetence. They claim the arm won't stay up because it's held by friction. No, it's not. You're supposed to use the ball detent pin. If you don't have much mechanical aptitude, you really shouldn't buy this and you absolutely shouldn't work on your own bike, where an ignorant mistake can cause a crash and possibly injury if not death. Another claims the clamp won't close enough and it takes too many turns of the lever. Probably doesn't realize the lever has a cam action for final tightening. This kind of person is why "lawyer lips" were added to bicycle forks, because many people just have no idea how to use quick release skewers. If you don't know what you're doing, take your bike to the bike shop!I mounted mine to one end of a 3-ft long 1x6 board with some wood screws then use C-clamps to quickly attach it to my work table when I need it. I might drill a third hole on the side of the base opposite the arm for another screw to ensure that it doesn't pull out when holding a heavy bike, since the board is relatively thin. I owned a freestanding bike workstand many years ago and it was a pain in the neck to store because it was so bulky even when folded. This one is much easier to stash when not in use. Being clamped to my table also means I have a nice, big work surface within easy reach to put tools and parts.

This product would have gotten 5 stars from me if I hadn't had to widen one of the assembly holes. It was just a fraction too small for the pivot bolt that was provided, so I used a drill bit to shave away a little material. It fit perfect after that and was very easy to assemble and use.I doubt my experience is typical, so I would recommend anybody interested in this product purchase it. It's lightweight and sturdy. Overall, a great product!

I bought this a while ago but finally cleared enough space on my workbench to install it. I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner.This unit is a fraction of the cost of free-standing bike stands and even less expensive than most bench-mounted versions. I think where the cost saving comes from is that many of the parts seem to be injection molded plastic rather than steel or aluminum. I'm okay with that since the plastic parts on this thing are beefy and strong and will undoubtedly last a long time and take serious abuse. Think Glock polymer, not LEGO styrene. I also like that the plastic and adequate rubber moldings will not mar or scratch the finishes on my bikes. It holds most of my bikes except my fat tire e-bike which is over 100 lbs but that's because my bench isn't heavy enough to counterbalance it. I think the bike vise would actually accommodate the weight.Another benefit is its ease of adjustment. It is easy to put the bike in various positions without a struggle and it tucks out of the way and folds up into a reasonably small footprint considering its stout size. So you won't be crying about lost tabletop space on your bench if you install it. Another option is installing it with carriage bolts instead of the wood screws it came with so you can remove it from the bench when not in use.

Pros:1. Price2. Ease of assembly3. Will get the job doneCons:I just got it. If I find any I'll let you knowReview:I just received this bike work stand today. After installing it in a spot agreed to by my wife (you might notice it's not in the garage) I put my bike on it for the 1st time, attempting to use the seat post as the mounting point.When this work stand is wall mounted the weight forward of the seat post overcomes the gripping strength of the support weldment lower tube mount, and it swivels toward the front. I'm sure this isn't a problem if it is bench mounted.Changing the bike mounting point to the cross bar distributes the weight much more evenly and it is easy to adjust the bike to my specific needs.At this time I'm quite pleased with the product and glad I made this purchase. For an old man/mountain/gravel bike, it fits the bill.

Efficiently engineered with good quality materials. Love it.

I didn’t want a floor stand so took a chance with this version. It is versatile in that it can be mounted to a bench or a wall. I mounted it to a wooden post in my shop. The clamping systems seam to work well so far. Over all, I am pleased with my purchase.

My main gripe is the shape of the clamp Jaws and material used. If clamping on the seat post the rubber is too hard and the Jaws being close to a right angle does not provide enough contact area for grip. It will slide. With a dropper seat post, clamping tighter to try to hold it would be a bad idea. Luckily I have the means to 3D print TPU clamp Jaws with a cylindrical opening for maximum clamping surface area on the seat post. Otherwise this would not work at all for me with roughly 35lbs mountain bike.There is resistance for the turn handle every half thread due to the tolerance of the bolt. I find this annoying when I'm holding the bike with one hand and try to get it clamped with the other, the easier it is the better. This resistance makes it harder.Overall design is simple enough however just visually and physically comparing this with my portable bike stand. The full bike stand is of much nicer quality. Roughly double the price, to get the base as well and nicer design features.This may work for you however the jaws are a real issue for me that I was only able to solve with 3D printing.

Strong and nice

I've mounted it on a 2X8 and drilled some holes in the 2X8 so I can just bolt it to my work bench when I need to use it. I have a 65lbs ebike and it supports it well enough for the money.
