Or these as alternatives? Bit worried the Topeak would scratch the frame and the “normal workstand” but with hooks might not push the bike out far enough or hold it still in anyway. So I would say, if you want something that’s a significant upgrade on the Bike Hand stand, in all respects, you probably need to spend twice as much. Like all the repair stands at this price point, there are a lot of plastic parts (where more expensive stands use metal). And this raises questions about it’s durability over time. IMPORTANT: If you sign that the item as 'has been received in good condition' you will have no claim later if the product is found to be damaged.

Pay attention to the weight capacity of different repair stands too. E-bikes, cruisers and some city bikes can be really heavy. If you’re budget conscious and you’re looking for a stand that will make it much easier to carry out those basic repair and maintenance jobs that are currently difficult (or impossible), with the bike upside down or leant against a wall, then I can’t think of a better option.The extra robustness obviously increases the weight of the repair stand: it’s 14 lb (6.3 kg) rather than 11 lb (4.9 kg). But it’s the same compact size when collapsed so it remains one of the most portable bike stands around! On the positive side, it’s a lot less expensive than the all metal, Park Tool bench mounts (see below). The 360° rotating head is very easy to adjust. And the 1 - 2.55" (25 - 65mm) clamp jaws will accommodate a wide range a frame sizes.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Pro Bike Display Stand is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation. Can’t use it with thru axles. Can’t use it without a wheel in the frame. The legs are in the way for a lot of fettling with gears or brakes. Just remember: you won’t be able to take it out on the road with you. And once it’s mounted to your wall or worktop, you won’t be able to move it around your work space. So make sure you have enough room to work around it. And it will support a maximum bike weight of 85lbs (38.5kg), so it should be suitable for the vast majority of heavy e-bikes and cruisers. We recommend you use recorded delivery or registered post to return items so as to cover yourself against loss.So if you have a suitable post or wall (only into the stud on a dry wall!), then this could be a cost effective alternative to the workbench model. Do bear in mind that it won’t be height adjustable though, so it won’t be quite as versatile.
