Yep, seems OK. Haven't had anything break on it!

Paid £37.50 for mine & it has a magnetic tool tray

Thats what I should get, any idea what weight it will take and how tall it goes?
Forgot to mention it will be for my 28Kg E-bike

It's basically one of these http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/com...eup-workstand/revolution-tuneup-workstand.htm

If you want me to measure mine I'll try tomorrow evening if I remember!

Where did you get it for £37.50??

that's bloomin cheap! I got mine from Ribble for about £53.
Whats this magic tray thing too? Would like something to put bits n bobs in when working on the bike?

Thinking about it, I reckon it would have to be some stand to support 28Kgs. what dya reckon?

The magnetic tray is a semi-circle tray with different diameter holes around the edge to store screwdrivers & the like, there's a donut shaped magnet on the underside to hold bits.

28KG is really heavy. I don't think I would like to lift a bike of that weight on to any workstand!

The height from floor to the centre of the clamp is 128cm

Thanks Rusky, the height seems fine but I`m a bit worried about the weight.

I screwed two pulleys to a beam in my shed, attached some nylon rope, connected one length to the saddle and one to the stem. Started heaving and the rope was duly being pulled up but the bike stayed planted on the floor!! and then something touched my head and I realised I had pulled the shed roof down
