Bike Repair Stand

In my younger days I was a professional bicycle mechanic at several different bike shops around SoCal. Im used to working with the Park professional $2500 repair stand. I figure for the $50 i spent, It would be no big loss if it turned out to be crap. I was happily surprised at how heavy and sturdy this is. You would have to shove this thing pretty hard to knock it over. I was able to remove some stubborn pedals from cranks while my bike was in the stand, and it moved a bit, but at no point did i feel it would fall over. Pro's: Heavy duty Lots of Adjustment, ie: height, rotation, width of legs, etc. Plastic joints seem fairly durable Assembly took less than a couple minutes Folds up easily Great Price for a fairly decent product Cons: My only gripe. :)... Tightening the blue clamp wheels even when cranked down as far they will go, don't hold the tubes very solid in place. I'm used to clamping on the seat tube, as you can do damage or mark the frame anywhere else, so the front of the bike slowly dips down until the front tire touches the ground or the legs. This only happens with heavier bikes such as my aluminum full suspension bike and my girlfriends hard tail aluminum mountain bike. My lighter urban flat bar bike stays in place, but not perfectly, the front of the bike still dips down easily if you give it any pressure. I may drill small holes in the clamps to put a pin through to keep it from rotating.

This was my first bike stand; I'm an exacting customer and was very impressed with the quality and value of this product. It's very well designed and built - e.g., it's sturdy/solid, and quick release clamps work well. I have heavy ebikes and one mistake I made was not tightening the clamp on the seat post enough. This bike slid down a bit while I was working on it the first time and the seat base dug into the red plastic protector on the clamp. This was a user error and when I tightened the clamp properly there was not problem. The instructions could be clearer on this point There was a defect in the base on the original product I got, but the Yaheetech customer service was very responsive and quickly sent a replacement. I'm very pleased with this this purchase and the Yaheetech customer service experience.

The stand looks nice with tubular construction and was easy to assemble. The price with the coupon makes it quite reasonable in price, but it is only okay for holding the bike in place. The stand does not hold the bike in position. I have a Northrock Mountain Bike and while some of the modifications I've done do make it a bit heavier, the stand should hold it balanced or parallel to the ground from front to back. No matter how hard I tightened down, the bike always turned with the rear wheel much higher than the front wheel. When I want to work on the front wheel, there is no way to turn the bike that places the front into a higher position, and when I went to adjust the derailers, I finally had to place a stool under the front wheel to keep the front and rear parallel. The clamp protectors also come loose when trying to hold the bike in place. on the stand, and when using the clamp to hold the bike by the seat post, a necessary way of holding a bike that has gear cables running under the center bar, again no matter how tight I made the clamp, the bike still slid from the grab point down to the seat. I will likely have to make some alterations to the stand to make it keep the bike parallel or adjust to place the tire I am working on higher. I will also probably also add adhesive to hold the clamp protectors in place. It will work for occasional bike work though, and it's problems are somewhat expected because the price is very good for a bike stand. Also, once I figure out how to alter its adjustment it will become a good stand. Finally, one more comment, please use a delivery service other than FedEx. Their communications are poor at best and despite having my home address, they still left the box at the Post Office, and I received no communications from FedEx that they were delivering there.

I have 2 new e-bikes that I want to keep in top condition. My first task is applying ceramic coat to the paint. It’s a lot of work bending over to prep and apply a ceramic coating so I thought a stand would be a little easier on my back. After some searching, I decided on this Yaheetech stand. The price was right and the reviews pretty good. I was just hoping the quality was at least OK and suitable for my light use. So far I am very impressed. The installation instructions are pretty simple. No words, just pictures but the pictures were all I needed. The base was the first part to take out. The legs fold open. You can decide just how open you want them for stability depending on the weight of the bike and how high you want it. My bikes are on the heavy end so I spread the feet all the way out. A simple cam clamp locks it in place. I did have to screw the clamp in a few turns to get the right tension when clamped. There was nothing in the directions about this but it is pretty obvious so no real issue there. The extension then slides into the base and tightens with the same cam system. At the top is the grabber extension that holds the bike. This piece is held in by tightening a star wheel instead of the cam clamps used on the other parts. This part can be rotated to match the position of the part of the bike you are clamping. The clamping end is a thick plastic to protect your bike from scratches. My bikes do not have cross bars, so I need to clamp to the seat post. In this case I just rotated the extension so the clamp is vertical. This is the one place that I realized I would have a small issue. If you clamp on a cross member of you bike, the clamp would be horizontal allowing you to rest the cross bar on the clamp while you clamped it tight. In my case you need to hold a heavy bike in the clamp and close the clamp at the same time. With a heavy bike, this is a 2-person job, one to hold the bike and one to clamp it. Finally, there is a small rod with rubber straps at either end that you can use in several different ways to help stabilize the bike. For example, if you don’t want the handlebars to move you can strap this rod to the handlebars and then to the stand. It is circled in blue in one of my pictures. As I unpacked and installed the parts I was impressed with how the parts looked and felt. They are all well painted, the plastic parts are thick and sturdy looking, the steel looks heavy duty, there was nothing cheap looking. When assembled It felt and looked solid. Tight fit on all of the joints, no play, and when I hung my 45-pound e-bike on it, the stand didn’t bend, bow, twist, or argue in any way with the weight I just put on it. The stand will handle 57 pounds and based on how it handles my 45-pound bike I have no doubt that it will in fact handle a 57-pound bike. In spite of the weight of the parts, the stand easily folds up and is light enough to move around and will store in a very tight space. So far, the only concern I see is minor and at this point not an issue for me. The grabber extension rotates 360 degrees but there are no hard stops and only a friction fit tightened with a star wheel. My bike, when using the seat post to clamp rests with the front tire closer to the ground than the rear. If I loosen the star wheel and rotate the bike so the wheels are level and tighten the star wheel, the grabber extension rotates back to a vertical position. Since I don’t need the tires to be level, it is not an issue for me but something you should be aware of. And for the price, this is a minor issue. This is by far the best stand in this price range. I think you could spend a lot more and not get a better stand. Stop looking. This is definitely the stand you want.

Great stand and very good price, its very sturdy and seems that it will last A +

This inexpensive yet high quality, fully adjustable bike stand is the "third hand and arm" you need to make repairs and adjustments on your bike. Height and distance adjustment, quick clamps and a heavy duty, sturdy frame make working on your bike fast and easy. Kids bikes, mountain bikes, road bikes even electric bikes (up to 60 pounds) can be repaired or adjusted on this stand saving you both time and money. This is a super purchase which I highly recommend.

Pretty nice bike rack for working on your sled. I've had zero issues with the stability and usage of it. Exactly what I needed and wanted. Not too pricey for the quality you get. Even the 'tool tray' is usable and functional.

It is a good solid stand made mostly from heavy metal, but it does have a couple of problems. (I will use part names from the instructions to explain.) First, the clamp between the "telescopic bar" and the "upright" is plastic. It arrived broken in the box. Whoever boxed it should understand that if you put it in the box broken, the customer will remove it from the box broken. I did not return it as broken because I was able to Gorilla Glue it back together and it works fine; it clamps tight enough to hold the telescopic bar in place. Second, the "bike support stand" (the horizontal bar at the top that holds the bike), when attached to the seat support does not grip tight enough to hold the bike in the position I set because there is too much weight from the front of the bike. The torque causes the bike to rotate until the front wheel is on the ground. That is not enough for me to return the stand because I seldom work on the front wheel and if I do I can attach the stand to the top horizontal of the bike frame. I think they could fix the problem by not making the "bike support stand" so smooth, give that part a sandpaper like finish or put rubber fingers inside the clamp so the part does not slip under the torque from the weight of the front of the bike. I might rough up the stand part with sandpaper, or put small grooves in it to give the clamp something to grip on to see if that solves the problem. Third, the clamp holding the bike frame even at full tight will not keep the bike from rotating around the frame. It is not enough for me to send the stand back, just a minor annoyance. The problem is there is smooth plastic trying to clamp a smooth metal frame. I think they could fix this by putting thin rubber pads in the clamp. I will probably run out and get some pads to try that out. I think it is a good stand for the price. The stand itself is made from much heavier metal than I expected. It is very stable with the four legs. I easily overcame all the issues so I kept it.

Great stand easy to use comes with a tray to mount on the stand and swing bar for front tire . Will hold up a mountain bike for months and never change its position. Very strong 💪

Works well and is I expensive. Only used it so far with a lighter bike but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with most

J'ai lu les évaluations et je me suis dit que c'était l'achat à faire. Facile à monter, à utiliser, très solide et avec de bons matériaux. Je recommande amplement

Hey everybody come and see how good I look....I could cannonball right off a diving board with this rack and the bike would be still attached. I mean it's no large wooden ship and while I do love lamp I would say 60 per cent of the time this thing works 100 percent of the time. I was headed out to the pants store to get some new suits and came upon this rack when Wes man tooth was chasing me on his bike and didn't buy it right away so I said to myself I immediately regret this decision and went and got a place with Ron and purchased this rack....it sits right beside my rich mahogany amongst my many leather bound books. I called Ed from my glass box of emotion to let him know that milk was a bad choice. He told me get this bike rack or Im putting V on to do the news. So I got this rack and things escalated quite quickly and I must say even though my burrito is very filling this rack is great. I did have a bit of an issue when I told San Diego off but now that I was able to change into my suit in the local bar washroom ...I look good I look real good....and this bike rack makes me look even better.....get it.

Yes, I would have liked to get a better-quality one of these on which to work on my bikes, but I just don't have the $cratch to spare right now (and I got this pretty cheap - it was on sale, PLUS I had a coupon). For its price, this thing is good enough for occasionally working on bikes; however if you'll be using it all day, every day, I'd look elsewhere. The parts quality is quite alright, for the most part. Not the best, but quite alright. All the parts were intact, even though it came in a beaten-up box. The assembly was a cinch - super-easy, and took almost no time at all. I like that the stand collapses easily, too, as I don't have much room at my place, really. As long as you're smart in the way you use it (eg: don't over-tighten things, including the clamp that holds the bike), this stand should be all you need. However, I could see things getting broken over time if there is constant over-tightening of, say, the quick-release clamps, for example. But again, as long as you're reasonable with the use of this stand, it's good enough for occasional to moderate use. I do notice that when I clamp my bike up by the seat post, the clamp's arm torques quite a bit. That's the main thing I have to keep an eye on with this stand. On a heavy-ish bike that I have (probably around 35+ pounds), there's some twisting of that clamp arm. That could also be b/c of the way I have the arm set up, now that I think about it while I write this. If I clamp the arm into the main post at the same angle at which it rests upon twisting, I might be able to avoid the torque altogether. In any case, I'm fairly confident that this stand will last me as long as I need it, provided I use it within reason. I'd recommend getting this if you need something on the cheap for relatively occasional use, and if you don't have a super-heavy bike (I don't think I'd put a 60+ pound electric bike on this, for example). I'd say 40lbs max. (comfortably) 4/5 stars. Not the best, but good enough for the money for occasional to moderate use.
