DESCRIPTION
When working on your bike, having it elevated and held in place is extremely useful. This repair stand is a fantastic investment for being able to fix your bike. The stand is easy to set-up, has an adjustable height, adjustable clamp, rotatable clamp and is quite strong. And on-top of that, it's legs fold down to give a minimum length of 1m, so you can hide it in the corner or take it on trips.
Having your own Bike Repair Stand is a great way to start doing maintenance on your own bikes. We would be lost without ours!
You have the option of including a magnetic tool tray with your Repair Stand. Details about this product can be found here.
You also have the option of including a handlebar holder with your repair stand. Details about this product can be found here.
The alternatives to this product are:
Both are cheaper and take up less space, but aren't portable.
Specifications:
- Maximum Weight Capacity: 25kg - it can likely hold more but that is at your own risk
- Adjustable height from 102 - 154cm
- Clamp opening adjusts from 30 - 80mm. Clamp has soft rubber on the inside which prevents damage being done to your bike when clamping.
Notes
- Don't worry about this product being partially made out of plastic. It is very robust
- If you want to put your bike on super funky angles you may need to tighten the rotation mechanism. This can easily be done by taking the handle off and tightening a bolt which brings the teeth slightly closer together.
- As with all other Repair Stands, there are a few ways using them can go wrong. Firstly, clamping your bike too hard can break things - just go easy on tightening it. Secondly, the bike needs to be reasonably central between the feet, otherwise the stand can fall over.
Height Adapters:
The height of the tool tray isn't quite right on these stands by default so we've made an adapter so you can adjust the height of your tool tray. This isn't essential, but it does make the stand a bit more ergonomic 😊
We'll get some good photos at some stage...
The height adapter allows you to do this...
Comparison to other stands on the NZ market
We've been sad to see other shops selling other cheap repair stands that are not fit for purpose. We've tried all of these stands and it was disappointin each time. We'd love to bring a more cost effective repair stand to our customers but we simply aren't willing to sell something that isn't fit for purpose.
Below are some things to watch out for with some competing products:
Product 1: Generic workstand, approximately $80-$130
The clamping mechanism of this stand isn't robust and is prone to breaking, especially if exposed to sunlight. The clamp also requires herculean strength to be able to mount your bike at an angle. It also has a very small base of support which means it's difficult to work on your bike without it tipping over.
All of the stands in this price bracket which look similar to this stand are all from the same manufacturer and share the same issues. These stands are fairly easily identified by the thin legs, clamping mechanism and the coloured plastic clamps (blue, red, black, yellow etc.)
Product 2: Generic workstand, looks very similar to this product. Approximately $130-$160
This stand looks like the stand we have listed but it is much much flimsier. When you mount a bike in it the whole stand starts to bend and it's rather un-nerving. We used this stand for a bit of servicing and we were saddened with its general build quality. We had high hopes for this one as it's much cheaper to import but we couldn't bring ourselves to do it!
This stand can be identified by its rectangular tool tray, its different shaped plastic leg mounts (which fall off!) and sometimes it includes the anti-roll bar (dangling in the second photo).

ROGER J. (Whangarei, New Zealand) Wow, why did I put up with my old stand for so long!!!
This bike repair stand from Outspoken is such good quality and copes admirably with our heavy Surly ECRs. I've just serviced both of our bikes and it was all done with ease.
Adjusting the height, angle of the bike was a breeze.
The stand folds down easily and is super easy to assemble and is incredibly light but still very sturdy.
Without a doubt THE best piece of bike equipment I've ever bought, highly recommend
