cheap workstand

[Mo1959]

Its a heavy bit of kit but very straight forward. Just dont get your fingers caught when folding the legs up

Are you speaking from experience? Ouch. I am hoping it will encourage me to clean the bikes more often and more thoroughly. Fed up of them trying to fall down when they are just propped up.

Yes be warned finger pinching is easily done lol. Quality bit of kit though for the price had my bike on it for 2 hours Sunday after a ride cleaned from top to bottom and deffinatly easier than crawling around on my knees .

Well, delivery driver was doing overtime so it just arrived. Very impressed with the quality and sturdiness.

I've just had an email to say mine will be delivered between 1pm and 2pm, I'm already impressed!

Mine was delivered between 11.50 and 12.50 this morning so will see what it's like when I get home tonight.

Decent service considering it was over Christmas holidays.

I've got this one. It does fold down, but is heavy. It's as sturdy as they come and cheap as chips.

is this sort of thing ok to clamp a carbon seatpost into? Id like a proper work stand instead of suspending the bike from the ceiling of the garage and this looks a bargain!

I got a slightly different model from the same company, which was a £5 more. It has a rotating clamp and quick release levers... I went for a fixed leg version as I intend to bolt it to the workshop floor.

Mine arrived today and it's easy to put together and use - Harder to reduce the leg splay than expand it imo
Don't know what took me so long ..........to buy one that is!!
