Product Description
No more leaning your bike on the wall! This compact stand is perfect for storage or to do some quick maintenance. Slide the rear triangle in and adjust the gears, brakes, or just lube up before the big race (easily transportable too!).

 Does the job July 18, 2008
If you want a stand to adjust the rear gears and some basic maintenance then this is all you need. I received mine last week and I am not disappointed.
Awesome basic stand June 16, 2008
Just what I needed to work on my bike by myself. Lets me get the rear heel off the ground, so I can work on the gearing. This was one of the most affordable stand and does what I need. It is also amazingly stable due to its design. Highly recommended for anyone not willing to shell out big bucks for professional stands.
 Surprisingly functional, great value June 8, 2007

I really didn't expect much out of this stand with its super low price compared to even the next cheapest small race stands, and it doesn't look like much in the photo, but I've been quite surprised and impressed. It's far more stable than it looks like it will be in the photo. It's good for basic maintenance if you don't do enough to warrant an expensive real repair stand, and it's good for just standing the bike up for storage without a kickstand as well. So far, I've used it while cleaning and lubricating my chain, adjusting gears, adjusting brakes and changing pads, changing out pedals, and even truing the rear wheel, and it's been much better than hanging my bike by the seat post from a tree branch like I used to do. It does lose stability somewhat if you aren't paying attention and move the bike forward or back and the stand begins to turn. Of course, if you go too far, it will eventually overturn. It helps to use a bungee cord to hold your front wheel stationary. This slight stability problem (although far smaller a problem than expected) is part of the lacking star. The other part of that is that there's no feet on the little metal arms on the bottom to protect the floor surface, and there's even semi-sharp corners where they attach to the upright portion of the stand. This isn't really a problem outside or in the garage/shop, but it requires some protection put down if you're working in your house. Overall, a great value, and an indispensable tool.
