A new version of the popular VeloCompact, now supplied with 13 pin lights (we include a free lighting adapter if you have 7 pin lights). It may not suit taller mechanics because its maximum height is 108cm, nor will it be the most effective option for an externally cabled bike, but it takes up little room when fully folded and is a lightweight option.
It's critical to understand that a repair clamp can either be a screw-down style or a cam-over style, and the cam-over type exposes the clamped member to much more force, since the principle they work on is the peak load is a lot higher than the at-rest load.This means that not only can you move them around your floor space, you can also fold them up and take them somewhere else entirely! The back wheel is off the ground so you can spin the cranks etc, like the image but hanging from the arm of a stand like the one Rob posted. Our dedicated bike testers have tested hundreds of bikes and bike products over the years to help guide you to the best products on the market.
Oscar has a BA degree in English Literature and Film Studies and has close to a decade of cycling industry experience, initially working in a variety of roles at Evans Cycles before joining Carbon Bike Repair. Pay attention to how easy and how smooth the actuation of the tilting feature is because this can often be a downfall on some stands. This makes it perfect for those that want to make adjustments or repairs when they’re at race meets or up mountains, as it will take up very little luggage space.The most stable work stands have the largest footprint, and the long-legged Topeak Prepstand Pro proved to be the steadiest of the bunch. Simply lever your eBike onto its back wheel by locking the back brake, then slowly walk the bike backwards.

It's good for most things besides mounting a rear motor, which I do with the bike leaning against something most times anyway. He has been an avid cyclist since his teenage years, initially catching the road cycling bug and riding for a local club.
Our two axle/bottom bracket mounting stands, the Prepstand X and Sprint, each folded up small enough to stow away in standard luggage for plane flights. All the models we tested can be set up in just a handful of seconds, but a few stood out from the pack. is still a true Black Forest original, 100% developed, designed and manufactured here by passionate bikers.
I have found a few possible options on the Internet (please see below) but these are in Italy, not in the UK. Likewise, stands like the IceToolz or even the Topeak Flash Stand are half way houses that are going to be frustrating to use and will ultimately be replaced by a proper stand! That said, this type of stand holds your bike for repairs and maintenance without making contact with your frame and is preferred by many riders for high-end frames with unique tube shapes and thin tube walls that could be more easily damaged or difficult to hold in a clamp.
