| I am amazed to see the price of this has gone down further. This is a well made and well thought out bit of kit. Like the other reviewers I wish Id bought one sooner. |

| Nice solid stand, adustable where you need it to be, and cheap considering some of the alternatives.
Worth pointing out there are 2 "quick-lok" kind of positions for the bar with the clamp on the end- it can quickly be setup flat against the stand for folding, or horizontal when working on the bike. But the adjustment can be held out of the "locked" positions and clamped at any angle you need it to be.
If I have a gripe, it's that the clamp which locks the pitch angle of the bike isn't tight enough, however it's not the clamp itself that takes the load it's a set of teeth that engage, so the bike still remains in the attitude that you set it in- not likely to ever be a problem. |

| Got mine a couple of months back, my first workshop stand, and it's seen a fair bit of use so far. It's probably not as slick as some of the more expensive ones like the Ultimate ones but for the money it's hard to fault. Clamp works pretty well, quick to set-up and put away, stable enough, etc. It seems well worth the price just to not have to keep bending over whilst trying to stop the handlebars knocking the back of your head as the front wheel keeps slipping about. For the first time in my life, fitting and fettling a front derailleur was a doddle and no sore back either. Hoo-flippin-ray for this. |

| For the price this stand cannot be beaten, I have tried other stands before and this beats everything "stands" down...(excuse the humour). Lets face it the postage for this item alone must be at least a £10 so all in all this is a steal.just buy one |

| This stand is very well built, very light to carry if need be. Quick and easy to setup. Saves your back when working or saves your saddle/handlebars if you invert your bike to work on it like I used to do! Construction is very solid - dont think by the low price this is cheap made - its not.
Couldn't work on my bike now without it!

| The picture does not do justice to this stand. I was expecting something the size of a music stand! Surprise! Sucker weights about 5 kilos & it's actually very solid and sturdy. Easy to set up & pack away. Holds my Commencal Meta 5.5 easily. Not too sure about the quick releases, they feel a little flimsy, but time will tell. Not sorry i bought this stand, possibly the best thing in the entire order! Don't hesitate. Just buy it. You won't regret it. |

| Had this 4 months now. It's alot more robust than it looks in the picture. Light & easy to set up & well engineered. Happy to recomend this. I wanted the Park Tool (couple of quid cheaper & I was worried obout the sturdiness of a fold-up)but it was out of stock, but really happy I got this one instead. |

| Bought this after many years without a stand...
Great stuff. Folds down nice and small, although not as compact as some of the Park models - but have you seen the prices of those!?!?!
Stand is solid, with great QR-operated clamps on all the adjustable bits.
The 360deg swivel clamp is sturdy, makes flippin the bike over easy.
Buy it now! |

| Purchased from CRC last week, used today for the 1st time to clean and adjust my MTB. This is very strong, looks much better in the flesh than in the picture. This is a big chunky stand that holds my 20" XC bike with easy. Well designed clamp will adjust to the tube you want to grip and has cut away to allow gear cables to move if clamping to the top tube.
Made working on my bike a pleasure. Can't fault it for the money excellent value. Buy one!

| The picture does this stand no justice. It looks awesome in the flesh. Beefy tubes, and well made. I would pay double for this and still think it was good value. Before, working on my bikes was painful, now I actually enjoy it! Saves your back too. No more hunching over with my bike leaning up against the wall trying to adjust or remove things, now right at eye level where it should be. If you don't have a workstand, buy one. It will make your life easier :-) |

| Like most of the reviewers ,i was sick and tired of trying to clean/ repair my bike on the floor. Decided to purchase one of these, and wish i'd done it sooner.
It makes inspecting and working on the bike so much better ( and better for my back ! )You can raise and lower the stand to any workable height and rotate to any position. The stand is still sturdy at full height extension (The top of the frame come to my head height which is 5'11"). The construction is good ( ie welded joints ) and nice paint finish. For the price, you can't go wrong. Get one now! |

| If you want a workstand, I can only echo what David at CRC suggested to me - get this one. To say it's better than I expected is a huge understatement. It looked quite thin and flimsy to me in the photo but it is anything but that - very solid and well put together.
Don't even bother looking at the others unless you have money to burn. |

| très très bon matériel très stable pour un vtt meme de descente la pince s'adapte meme au gros cadre.
la pince tourne complètement donc possibilité de mettre le vélo à l'envers par contre suivant poids du vélo sans les roues mais bon c'est appréciable.
se replie facilement ne prend pas trop de place
je le recommande

| This stand transformed my ability to work on my bike - it is fantastic. Really stable, but fairly light too. Love the way you can adjust the clamp easily, so can grip any of the tubes of the bike depending on what you want to work on.
I got this for £60 (must have been on sale) which I regard as an absolute bargain. |

| I thought I was being extravagant buying this. Not any more. I have two very expensive bikes. They need love and attention. Washing them after each ride was a bit of a chore. Its a pleasure now. Easy. As to how the product compares to others, I have no idea but it is very easy to erect and fold away. Takes seconds. Looks like it will last my lifetime at least. Spayed all the metal bits with rust preventative. Don't leave home without one.
