    ULTIMATE BRS-50R RECREATION REPAIR STAND at JensonUSA.com Looks like they're $76 right now once you put it in the cart. Not sure what model mine is but I have an ultimate as well. Ultimate or Parks are usually the ones most recommended.

    Do you need something heavy duty? How often will you use it?

    i think it would have to be heavy duty enough to support a heavyweight downhill bike
    so something decent... wont be used too much but something that i should have just to adjust stuff and i was curious what everyone was using and what you guys reccomend
    thanks

    I have that Ultimate BRS-50R. It is works very well and I use it several times a week including to store my bike when not in use. It's solid and can fold up out of the way if needed. I use it for all repairs, adjustments, and cleaning of my bike after rides. No problems so far.:clap:

    I highly recommend that stand for home use. :bang:

    I have found that bench-mount stands make it difficult to reach the other side of the bike. I picked up a Park stand back in '94 and it is still going strong.
