BikeHand Bike Repair Stand – Home Portable Bicycle Mechanics Workstand – for Mountain MTB Road Bikes Maintenance

Great stand for general bike maintenance.
I received the Bikehand Pro stand and immediately put it to use. I will be honest up front, I have not found anything that I dislike about this stand so far. OK, I would have liked it to include a bag, but at this price point that may be asking a bit much. I have also not owned it very long and cannot speak to its long-term reliability.Disclaimers:- I paid for my stand and am NOT a person that works for the “company”. I am just a middle-aged man looking for a maintenance stand so he could work on his bikes without sitting on the floor (my knees are definitely not what they used to be).- BE AWARE that this stand is NOT for cranking around on your bottom bracket or anything that requires a cheater pipe on your wrench. This stand has plastic and nylon parts and is for general maintenance. If you are going to do advanced work on your bike(s), do yourself a favor and step up to a full metal, tripod leg version of a stand. If you do try cranking out your bottom bracket and break this stand, do all of US a favor and don’t subject us to your complaints.Here are the things I like about this stand:- Folds down fairly compact and is light. You’re not going to put in in the glove compartment, but it will pack nicely with your other gear.- Comes with the parts tray which is the only assembly needed when setting it up.- Extremely easy to setup. Getting the feet and post extended are extremely easy. Once you get the feet extended and the post at the height you want it, you don’t need to crank on the tightening levers to get it to stay. Don’t get me wrong, they can’t just be flopping around, but you don’t need to tighten the nut very much before you rotate the lever closed. I tested the post position stability after tightening the lever nut such that I could easily rotate the lever closed. I wanted to mention this because I have always lived by the rule that “it can’t be tight enough”. So, I started on the loose side and tested from there. Like any tightening lever, you will break these if you continue to close them with too much pressure on them.- Getting the head to the correct position and getting the clamp set correctly to close on your bike are both extremely easy and intuitive. I have only had my bike horizontal to the ground, but I used the stand head vertically on the seat post and horizontally on the top tube. Both provide very good stability. The clamp has channels in both the top and bottom jaws for brake and shifter cables allowing you to easily work on your derailleurs and brakes.- The stand is very stable with any of my bikes in it. Even when testing the shifting and spinning the crank and wheel at high speeds, I didn’t feel at any time that the stand would not hold up or become unstable.- The stand posts and all mechanisms are very simply designed which made it extremely easy to clean up before putting it away.Now, here is what I HAVE done with the stand so far:- Cleaned and lubed 3 mountain bikes (chain, back cluster, front chain rings, frame),- Adjusted front and back derailleurs and brakes on all 3 bikes.- Replaced a back brake cable on 1 bike.- Replaced one back drop out.- Swapped out a seat (found it easier with the seat post clamped in upside down).Here is what I HAVE NOT done:- Any adjusting on the handle bars or headset, replaced pedals or anything to do with the bottom bracket. (When I do any of these I will loosen the bolts before I hang the bike due to the amount of force typically needed to “crack” them loose.)Overall, I highly recommend this stand for the general care and feeding of your bikes. It is compact, easy to setup, sturdy, versatile and easy to clean. Now, stop reading this and order one. Then get on the pedals, get the bike(s) dirty and in need of maintenance, setup your new stand, clean and maintain your bike(s), rinse and repeat..

GREAT!
11-10-18 update. So I recently converted my bike to an electric mid drive setup and this stand no long feels sturdy enough to support my bike. It does hold, but flexes over and I am no longer able to rotate my bike around for maintenance. Stand is not strong enough and I feel like the plastic parts will break. My bike weights around 50lbs now. I currently still use the stand to keep my bike off the ground and clean the chain, but that’s about it…. still give it 5 stars as it’s still a great stand for regular bikes. For ebike guys you may want to get a heavy duty stand that the shop uses a those are all metal and will not break…. Wow this is an awesome stand for the money! I wasn’t expecting the quality of the stand to be so good and when I received it I was really surprised. It’s very sturdy and the aluminum construction is nice. Not sure how well the plastic parts will hold up, but they do seem to be durable. Probably wouldn’t want to leave or store the stand outdoors in the sun as I am sure the UV will make the plastic weak. Also may want to keep cleaning chemicals away from the plastic parts.Overall it’s a great stand for most bikes. It holds my Giant Glory full blown downhill bike with no issues and the best part is it takes up very little space. I also have a Spin Doctor Pro G3 stand that is slightly more heavy duty, but it takes up a lot of space due to the legs. The Venzo on the other hand is more compact. I use it to hold and store my bike of of the ground.The stand is fully adjustable so you can have your bike mounted many different ways. Great when your working on the bike. I’ve changed out frame bearings, inspected steer bearings, took of the wheels and the Venzo made it so much easier than working on the ground.

Easy to set up, the 360° clamp easily holds my e-bikes, even my tricky-to-hoist folding e-bike that can only be hung by the seat post. My old stand was cheaper but I could only hoist bikes by the top tube and it was falling apart, I’m kinda torn over whether I think it’s too expensive or not as I’m not anywhere near bike tech or even enthusiast level, but I’d rather use this stand than risk back pain so I’d say it was worth the price.

WOW ok this is way better than I expected. Considering how crazy all the other stands are priced I figured this one was gonna be really bad. Turns out it’s rock solid, great clasps, easy to use. Light. Folds easy and works just as well as many of the far more pricy competitor brands. I borrowed an $800 bike stand and it was no better than this one…weighed much more and was far harder to pack up. This stand is an absolute keeper. If you want a really good stand to work on your bikes I can’t recommend this one enough.
