This is the finest stand we"ve ever seen! This pro-quality, versatile work stand has a rock-solid base with a removable work stand. From simple routine maintenance to complete overhauls, anyone can benefit from a stable work platform. When deciding on which product to carry we analyzed many factors, cost, stability, quality, etc. After talking to multiple riders, repairmen, and bike distributors, we elected to go with the slightly more expensive, but more robust, Ultimate Bike Stand. The rigid "ironing board" design allows a secure base for the toughest wrenching. In our opinion these are much more robust and versatile than the inferior "bipod" or "tripod" design you regularly see on the market.
