Bike Repair Stand

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.

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.

Used it on 2 bike s so far, for repairs. It works good and seems stable so far but still is new so time will tell. Went together very easy didn't need the instructions. Giving 4 stars because so far only complaint is that the clamp wont hold the bike if you tilt it to were you want it. The bike is 40 pounds but does same thing with my personal bike which is almost 32 pounds. I do like all the adjust-ability it has and looks great.

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 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

Didn't get to use it yet but I could tell it was great quality.

Easily supported my road bike. Also held my hard tail mountain bike which is much heavier. Little shelf is nice for tools/ parts. Also folds up very easy and stores away nice and small.

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.
