Good Workstands??

[roadkillross]

I'm looking for a good workstand to repair my bikes with. Gonna be putting it in my garage but want something that can be packed up. 1x1Clyde had something at the swap meet that looked pretty easy to fold up, i think it was a Parktool. Anyone have any suggestions or links to good deals?

thanks
Ross

THis one is really nice:

I have the PCS-1 but it does not have the adjustable height or the nicer clamping system, which is nice if you have more than one bike.

you want the ultimate stand, great stand, very portable... you see them the most at races. I've been very happy with mine.

I picked up a low end Ultimate stand as an extra at Jenson a few weeks ago. I actually like it better than my Park PCS-4.
ULTIMATE BRS-50R RECREATION REPAIR STAND at JensonUSA.com

The hight is a little low for me, but for $89, you can't beat it.

i picked up the spin dr pro a few years back. not sure if they still make it but works for my needs and folds down pretty good inlcuding telescopes

[roadkillross]

taht ultimate looks good. ill have to chekc into that. i checked out my LBS today and the cheapest one they have out of 2 stands is $159.99. so that may be my choice

Gave you a thanks on your first post - probably your best post spelling-wise ever!

[roadkillross]

how can i thank you there arent any way to thank the non-posters

Check out the Spin Doctor Pro G3. A higher end stand for $140.00

i like the ultimate compact stand that i have

[spookydave]

I have the ultimate pro. Have had it for a pretty long time. It can get tippy with a big DH bike on it. But for the most part I like it.

[roadkillross]

yeah i was worried about the stand tipping.. im leaning towards PROTOOL. anyone really love there stand? i may get one soon

You can't beat this price...$69.98 for a workstand.

Check it out.

Personally I have an Ultimate workstand. But if you want affordability, then the Sette is a great buy. But for portability nothing beats an Ultimate.

I have the cheapie version of the Ultimate (Supergo version) - same as Innes.
It works well and can be transported. It can be a little tippy.

If anyone is interested:
My ex-neighbor dropped this off when he was moving a while ago.
As I already have a stand, it has just been sitting on the side of the house.
It is a homemade stand and is very stout. Very heavy.
It may not be the prettiest thing ever, but it could certainly hold a DH bike with no issues. Has a built in tool tray.
I went over every moving bit with WD-40 - All things work.
If you want it, it's yours.

[roadkillross]

yeah ill take it!

[Pain Freak]

Man, that has dh written all over it.

[roadkillross]

duuh thats why i like it lol how can i get it from ya? ill be gone until the 5th ill hit ya up when i get back

That looks like a ghetto version of a pro level Park stand they have in bike shops.... If I had a garage, id take that off your hands!! I already have a Park PRS-15 and love it... folds and goes anywhere.

I live near Seal Beach. Not too far from you.
I would prefer to get rid of this sooner than later.
