FWIW I use my magnetic trainer for that job. Or I put my bike rack on the back of the car and clamp the bike in it. Both work well enough for adjusting gears.

In summary its better than no stand (lifting the rear wheel when adjusting the gears is no fun), but because of the bending over issue its probably better to go the whole hog and buy a proper bike repair stand.

I keep my Aldi stand outside and I've found the plastic bits aren't UV resistant and are falling apart and the arm that holds your bike doesn't get gripped properly by the clamp on the upright bit of the stand and so the bike moves around. You can drill through the arm and clamp and put a screw or bolt through but you shouldn't need to if it was designed properly in the first place.

I have one too. Seems to be well made. The four feet makes for a sturdy stand, and the clamps holds the bike well. Recommended as a low cost option for the odd job you need to make on the bike.GuruChoc wrote:Just brought one of these, sturdy as. http://www.oo.com.au/Confidence-Home-Me ... 200466.cfm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I plan on getting something that hold the bike more securely in the future. More along these lines; http://www.this link is broken/au/e ... p-prod5209

Note the ability to raise the height easily and swivel the bike 360 degrees.
Edited to delete duplication of the definite article. RIP Sister Andrew.

I recommend a stand that swivels like the Park PRS 20 (heavy means stable) or a Feedback Sports Sprint.warthog1 wrote:I have one of those T7 union stands. It is ok for some jobs. For many it is a PITA. It doesn't hold the bike very securely, the steering flops around all over the place and basically the whole thing swings around.
