About this deal

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. And there's a lot of variation in the weight limits of different stands. So make sure the stand you choose can accommodate the weight of your bike. You can compare the max loads, max and min height, and weights of a load of bike stands in the tables below. Actually, that's not totally true. You can configure the Bike Rac in whatever way you want. Each of the arms is able to rotate and face either up or down plus the whole unit will slide closer or farther from the wall or rotate. If you need to account for sloped tope tubes, no problem. If you want a little bit of stability though, it's possible to have one arm up and one arm down. I wouldn't try to put a lot of pressure on the bike but it's quite a bit more stable than just hanging there. I tend to be lazy about pulling out a work stand and this should be a great option for things like adjusting shifting and or even getting a saddle just right. But it's also a great all rounder, that does everything reasonably well, with a couple of nice extra features that you don't get with other stands

Secondly, it has a much higher bike weight limit of 100 lb (45 kg), which means that it will have no problems with even the heaviest of e-bikes and cruisers. Just make sure your workbench can handle that much weight! I’m going to divide those looking for a bike repair stand into two distinct groups: weekend and daily mechanics. Make no mistake: this is a heavy duty, professional bike mount, that will last for years and years. Yes, it’s expensive, but if you’re a daily mechanic, working on lots of different bikes, then it’s undoubtedly worth paying the extra money for the Park Tools mount.I've been using the Topeak Dual-touch with three bike mounts for years. In a laundry room with extra vertical space I can just barely fit my wife's bike, my city bike, and my sons mountain bike. As he keeps growing, and his bike keeps getting bigger, I keep adjusting the mount for his bike. He's now up to a 24" wheel though and I've still managed to fit all three. And there can be quite a bit of variability in the maximum and minimum heights so that’s another thing to look for. And it should also provide a more elegant user experience, which is important if you’re lifting bikes in and out of the stand every day. The main attraction of the Bike Hand stand has got to be the price: it’s about half the price of the competition! 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.

There is still plenty of metal on bikes so if they're frequently exposed to rain, they're likely to corrode. At the very least, consider buying a rain cover for your bike, and if your budget, and space allow, opt for a heavy-duty secure shelter.

This will get you something that’s more stable, more durable and more pleasurable to use. Which is important if you’re using it every day!However, if you don’t need portability and you’ve got an appropriate space, don’t dismiss a workbench or wall mounted bike clamp. They’re more stable and cheaper than floor mounted bike stands.

On the negative side, the fact that some parts are made from plastic, raises doubts over its long term durability. This is especially the case with the teeth that hold the rotating head in position. This is a high stress part of the clamp. And it would be nice if these were metal (as they are on the YC-100ST). 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.But despite the extra stability, there’s a good reason that the clamping repair stands are more popular with professional, as well as casual bike mechanics: they're much more practical.
