Room Service Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 The stand from Mica is a Torq Craft I think. Will go look in garage. Bought one, its great, R699, comes with a device that holds handlebar straight as well. Will post pics.

Vetseun Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Mine. Homemade, cost nearly nothing and works like a charm.
Baaisikilist Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) That Torq Craft one doesn't look too bad for the money.It looks almost exactly like the Ryder one in fact. Edited June 20, 2013 by MTBaaisikilist
CAAD4 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Â Wouldn't you sleep better by clamping the seat post instead of the carbon frame? Heel Drop 1
Vetseun Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Wouldn't you sleep better by clamping the seat post instead of the carbon frame?Nah, it is perfect for that diameter tube. But its a china frame in any case , walls are about an inch thick. My RB has to be clamped by the seat tube.
Meezo Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 That Torq Craft one doesn't look too bad for the money.It looks almost exactly like the Ryder one in fact. Sorry to mention china again. But check out these stands on aliexpress. They look the same to the Ryder ones as well. There a guy on the hub selling them to. Only problem now is the dollar exchange rate
FondyMig Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 If you're after a Ryder work stand, look for TOM EZEKIEL on thehub - he can get you one for R950. Â I got one this week, very decent and solid quality. The frame clamp could be a little stronger, but still worth the money IMO.
Wannabe Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Is this the one you saw at Midas?MICA. I bought one at a show at the Dome recently for R699.00... agents are Hardware Centre in Randburg 011 791 0844. It's not bad, definitely worth the price That's the one. Edited June 21, 2013 by Wannabe
ichops Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Any one made their own stand - parktool is flippen expensiveI made a wall mounted Caddy attachment and then just plugged the caddy into it when I needed it - worked OK
RichieT Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I tried the Caddy way, but the problem is that your rear deraiilier cable gets pinched so you can't adjust your gears on the stand. These "pro" stands have a groove to keep that cable free so you can.Northcliff Cycles have the Tork one in stock but Mica price is better
Heel Drop Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Like this one - decent stand should cost around 500-600 to build, maybe less if you have or can get some of the stuff for free
Heel Drop Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 http://journals.neebu.net/khuon/archives/000517.html have a look if you are interested
