Recommended Bike Stands

I can't find this at CRC, how much did you pay? My bad I found it, R1900 excluding the scale & tray.

 

Scale is really bad, not only will it cost you R500.00, that is just the start. After you have weighed all the components on your bike you will be spending a lot of cash on upgrades

I've got the ParkTool PCS9 workstand and not sure how I ever managed without it. Its very stable, adjustable, the rubber clamp won't damage your precious carbon fibre frame, and can be folded up easily in seconds if it needs to be stored away somewhere.

 

+1, Great stand and robust too compared to some of the aluminium ones.

I see your point Thank goodness I only need to do one more upgrade, and not too worried about that weight.

 

Looks like it will be one of the Park Tool stands Park Tool Home Mechanic PCS10 Repair Stand with the tool tray.

 

Does anyone know if they come in a carry case or can I find that as an extra somewhere on CRC?

I think the Topeak stand has a better, more stable base, it is also very light with being aluminium. It also comes with a carry bag and the optional bits are way cool.

 

Let me know if you want me to weigh mine.

I can see that the Topeak would be more stable as it has the tripod leg system. I imagine the Park Tool can't be that unstable. Just keep clumsy fools away

 

Does anyone know what the Park Tool stands are made from? It does'nt say on their website, or give a weight for the thing( not thats a major issue)
