Title: Repair stand?
Post by: mermlundry on July 15, 2024, 09:51:11 AM

Any good repair stands on Ali/elsewhere? Hard to tell what is well-made and sturdy.

I've been looking at this for a bit. It seems some of the Ali offerings can be had on ebay or amazon for cheaper.

Currently eyeing some of West Biking options. Liking this one a lot. Had some good reviews on a reddit post.

Pretty hard to justify 80+ on ali when the lidl one is 30e.. I wish there was just the clamp without a pole available from ali

Related to work stands, any experience with wheel stands? For some reason they all seem to have unreasonable shipping costs on Ali.

The Lidl repair stand is also sold in the US, but only during "bike month" specials. Got mine a couple years ago but saw that they sold it special for $35 during April the year after. Also a good time to buy Crivit bibs. I use them near daily for my indoor trainer, good fit once "broken in".
