Most repair
stands you will find have a clamp to hold your bike.
You will find cycling repair stands by the following companies:
- Park Tool
- Feedback
- Topeak
Park Tool
offers at least five different types of repair stands. These stands
range in MSRP from $150-$350.
Park Tool's stands come in two different grades or classification
groups.
- Home
- Professional
Their repair stands come in 2, 3 or 4 leg set-ups depending on the
style.
All of the styles are portable and range in weight from 13 pounds to 23
pounds.
You are probably wondering what
Feedback
stands have to offer.
Feedback stands are broken up into two classifications:
- Professional
- Recreational
Their
professional series of stands have a weight of 10.6-12.6 pounds and
they fold down for easier portability. They are also made of
light-weight aluminum.
The load capacity, how much they can hold off the ground, ranges from
65-85 pounds.
They also come with three legs for added support!
Feedback
Sports only makes one model of recreational stands. It holds up to 60
pounds and comes with two support legs. It weighs 13.6 pounds.
The recreational model is made of steel instead of aluminum.
Feedback repair stands are in the $250-$400 range. A bit more expensive
than Park Tools. They are however a very good stand.
Last yet not least is the
Topeak
bicycle repair stands!
Topeak classifies its stands like the other two companies do too.
Like the other two, Topeak has clamp style stands.
It
also has two stands you place the whole bike on and it holds the bike
via the bottom bracket. The other uses the front fork along with the
bottom bracket. The stands look a bit bizarre.
These particular stands are called the PrepStand Race and Max.
These
stands are made in particular for odd shaped carbon fiber tubes. Or for
those who do not want to take a chance of damaging their bikes.
The non-clamping repair stands weigh 10 and 5 pounds. Topeak's other
stands weigh in the 13 pound range.
All the stands can hold up to 55 pounds of work weight!
They range in price from $100-$240!
How Repair
Stands Can Help?
Bicycle repair
stands get your bike off the ground and in a position which is easier
on you.
Since
your bicycle is off the ground you can adjust it with out having to
flip your bike over, like you would with it on the ground.
It makes changing wheels easier as well as any other bike repair.
If
you are planning on having your bike for many years and do not want to
take it to the bike shop for repairs. Get yourself a bicycle repair
stand!
