The workstand is excellent I got one at the last event

Cheers. I'll be picking one of those stands up.

For that money you can't really go wrong makes tinkering with the bike so much easier

I got one from Aldi, It's identical & as others have said it makes working on your bike so much easier, it's good quality too.

Speaking from experience tripping over the splayed legs and how much room they take up of your garage when up and bike installed in stand I would save your money and a get a two legged one.

Note they have the bloke in the advert working outside.

Can’t say I’ve ever tripped over it, for the money you can’t go wrong, Park Tool one is £150, Wiggles cheap lifeline one is £90, I think for £20 I could avoid the legs

D'oh! I just bought what looks very much like the same thing from Planet X for 45 quid

Never tripped over the legs.

I've had that stand (or maybe one very similar from Aldi) for about 4 years. Lives outside permanently, bolts look a bit rusty now, but still works well.

Just don't set the legs apart at maximum spread, half spread the stand is still very stable and then it takes up far less space

 

[I like Skol]

I have that stand and agree with the legs out it does have a large footprint, too large to use easily in my narrow bike store room, so I move next door into the spacious kitchen

Can't say I have ever found myself tripping over or inconvienienced by the legs when working on the bike, just angle the bike so you are stood between the legs when working. Maybe putting on your best riding lycra while fixing the bike will help?

Picked up one of the workstands today.

I can vouch for the stand. It's stable enough even with my 29er mtb and legs only partially open. Used in a standard single garage for years without a problem. Worth the money

And was it heavy?

Do you think you'll buy one?
