Pro Stand Plus Bike Rack - Heavy-Duty Telescoping Bicycle Stand with Tool Tray, Rotating Clamps, and Adjustable Handlebar Rod by RAD Cycle (Black)

Wow... so many good things about this very affordable bike service rack! My top 3: VERY LITTLE ASSEMBLY EASY TO USE SOLID VALUE FOR SO LITTLE $s Veey few nits to pick here but I am mechanically inclined. Plus look at the excellent packaging in my 1st photo of an extra secure shipping box with extra corregated sheets for protection. Then in 2nd image I include the inner product packaging which for me was ample instructions to asemble & use. Yet as in 3rd image the instructions are mostly very large dark fonts with easy to understand wording so.I did go thru anyway before I assembled it. 4th image is a zoom in on light grey small font that makes no sense to me why some (in my opinion) inexperienced or just ambivalent to customers marketielng person would permit such a thing. Yet with extra light, I could read. USING IS not just easy but for me no complaints as it is really solid & well thought out with available super wide footprint stability & more flexibility in height & angles than I need & I'm 6'3" It has extra features like the tool tray & handle bar holder that I've not seen reason to use yet but suspect will come in handy sometimes. BUY AGAIN? Only if someone steals it as this is so solid I doubt in how I use it that it will ever break it! OH NO... Hope I did not just jinx myself! Haha!

Strong!

I have had this stand for about a week now and have used it almost every day. It came together easily and I imagine if you are purchasing a work stand to make working on your bike easier, chances are you have more than enough mechanical skill to get this put together in 5 minutes or so. The construction is solid and it is sturdy with a bike on it. My bike is a bit weighty at 40-45 lbs. with the loaded panniers on it and it handles it just fine. I have four kids, one of which is a 2 yr old little boy that loves to do anything daddy is doing, especially if it involves tools… He has pulled and poked, hung and spun, tripped and bumped it while I have been working and when I have had to step out of the room for a moment…This stand is SOLID! I have loved it so far! I can work on my bike in the best position for me and for it which really has saved on my knees and back. It does wobble a little bit if your cranking the peddles quickly, but it is still solid and this is easily fixed with a second steadying hand. Is it the best stand you can get? NO…but for $55 it is awesome! It easily folds up and can be stored in the corner, in a closet, under a bed, etc… I definitely recommend it! The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars was the shelf that came with it had washers too big (just a hair too big) to fit in the mounting holes. Really no big deal, easily fixed and still works great.

Excellent stand for home use. I keep it deployed in the garage to easily store my bike when I'm not riding. Works very well, even with the oversized frame tubes on my fat tire bike. Easy to set up, fold and haul around. Can be bolted down if desired. Only negative is that it's a bit tight on the upright post if you use large (wide) pedals -- have to ensure clearance if you spin the gear train around. Had to cut down the sliding tube for the handlebar support a bit (too long for my particular setup), but no big deal. Perfect for the DIY bicycle mechanic.

I have had this stand for over a year now, rebuilt several bike with it, and have nothing to complain about. Yes, the knob on the head tube can be a bit difficult to tighten, but a handy set of plumber’s pliers can add an extra ¼ turn to prevent any sort of slipping. Not a bad compromise for an inexpensive bike stand. And I have had absolutely no broken parts. Also, the stands wide base is very stable, and it holds my 50 pound Specialized Turbo Tero E Bike with no issues. I also like that I can rotate my bike on the stand. Can’t do this on a $250 Park Tool PCS 10.3 because the vertical tube isn’t round. Also the tool tray is just the right size for holding parts and tools. This is a pretty darn good bike stand.

Reading some of the previous reviews, I was a little skeptical about purchasing this stand, but the price was so good it was hard to pass up. I figured that if I got a few uses out of it before it broke into a pile of plastic and cheap metal, I'd be happy. When I received the item I was taken aback by the size and weight of it. It's fairly large and heavy. The feet spread out a good distance(roughly 36 inches?) and provide a very stable base. Of course, all the brackets are made of plastic, so I was a little more careful when adjusting and tightening them. My first project on the stand was replacing a bottom bracket on a used track bike. The previous owner used the hell outta the bike and though he kept it fairly clean, my experience with replacing previous parts told me removing the BB was going to be a struggle. Sure enough, it was a battle. When it finally did come out there was a bit of rust and the grease and had broken down pretty badly. I say all this to give some context as to how this stand holds up. It took all my torquing and banging and kept the bike in optimal position. Granted, it was a light track bike, but still, I didn't have any problems with balancing or not being able to secure a position that I wanted. Since then I've thrown my vintage tourer on there and it's perfectly fine with the added weight. I think this stand is great for a home mechanic as long as you keep in mind that it is not a shop unit and treat it accordingly.

This bike rack is a very solid choice. It’s foldable, saves space, and is easily stored away. Putting it together is pretty straight forward, just follow the directions. It took me less than 10 minutes. I only gave it 4 stars because the height adjustment doesn’t stay very well, and my bikes definitely aren’t the max weight limit. I like the 360 rotation, it makes it easy to work on the bikes that I restore. It can be a little difficult to rack a bike by yourself, depending on weight and frame shape. I recently restored a Trek 3i Daisy and an Electra 3i Blanc set Noir and the curved frame made it a little difficult to balance the weight correctly, so it wouldn’t tip one way or the other, but if you mess with it enough, you can make it work. Make sure you tighten the knobs as much as you can so they stay in place. The part that grips the bike is and doesn’t scratch the bike, which I really appreciate. Changing tires can be a little tricky with the angles you need to put the bike back together, but again, if you mess with it enough, you can figure it out. Overall a solid standing bike rack that definitely makes it easier to do maintenance. I restored a few bikes without it and then a few with it and it’s definitely easier using the rack. It just has a couple little quirks that you’ll need to work around.

I bought this to work on my bike while spending a month away from home and did not want to disassemble my Park Stand to take with me. I am very impressed with this model. The four legs are adjustable to give you a narrow to wide base that gives you a lot of stability. There are quick releases that allow you to adjust to almost any height or angle. It has two features I have not experienced with my Park Stand, a tool tray and a stanchion to hold the handlebars steady. Both are nice features. If possible I would have given 4.5 stars for sturdiness, as it seems very sturdy, but not as sturdy as the steel Park Stand, so I wouldn't give it a 5, but it comes close. One thing I that is a little annoying, but easily fixable, is that water gets trapped and sits in both the tool tray and the bike clamp. I am going to drill some small holes in both that will allow the water to drain without compromising the integrity of either. It only took about 8-9 min. to assemble and I cleaned both my roadie and my tri bike in about 30 min. each and enjoyed using this stand for both. Next I will change out my chainrings on the tri for mountain riding. I expect it will work well for that, too. I definitely recommend this product for those who want a portable bike stand.

Excelente relación precio/calidad. Armé y lavé mi bici XL de acero rodada 29 (17.5 kg) colgada en el soporte y lo aguantó sin problema, siempre estable y seguro. El armado es rápido y sencillo. Me gusta que la base es ajustable en altura y tiene patas de refuerzo que aseguran total estabilidad en el suelo. Muy recomendable para quien busca un soporte confiable y práctico.

Well built, easy to use and versatile. Works really well and great value for the $$. If you only need it for casual use (cleaning, tuning or doing repairs once in a while this is all you really need. The built quality is very good, solid, very stable, easy to fold and put away. Not super light but quite portable, a bit of weight is a good thing. Clamps work well and feel secure without risk of damaging your bike. Again, if you plan to do a high volume of repairs (bike shop or working as a bike mechanic on the side), not the product I would recommend, but for home use it is a very nice product.

En cuestión de la calidad y el precio cumple con su función, no he tenido ningún problema y se me hace una excelente compra. Tal vez el que tengas que estar apretando la rosca para sostener el cuadro es lo más complicado, pero si no tienes problema con eso es una excelente opción de compra. La bandeja tiene su imán para las herramientas y tornillos y no requiere tanto espacio para poder trabajar en tu bici.

Not sure what others are talking about for difficult assembly. You insert two tubes into the appropriate, and completely obvious, holes and you are done! Yes, the box showed up pretty wrinkled and banged up, but there were no broken parts. The clamps are plastic, but appear to be of a good quality plastic. Now for my take on this stand. I love the telescoping legs as I can use them to stand the rack up in the garage while being stored (meaning I can store it anywhere). They unfold easily and with a great sturdiness so the bike is never a concern of tipping over while on the stand. The down side (the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars) is the plastic knobs which take longer to screw down than a clamp approach would take. That being said, it really does not take that long to screw them down. You get what you pay for and in this case I would say that you get a really great deal when it is on sale. I got it a half price and am completely thrilled with its performance. No regrets at all with this purchase, actually really glad I did not buy any of the other options.

At this price point, I was not expecting much, and assumed I'd be sending a piece of junk back to Amazon for a refund. But was I surprised! This is a solid, well built piece of gear at an amazing price. I came almost assembled-within ten minutes I'd bolted my trusty 1993 Cannonade into it. Stable and solid (unlike myself, sadly), this stand made working so much easier. I'm going to buy another. Money well invested, and you need one as well!
