    To do both DIY and bike maintenance (not necessarily in that order) you could do worse than one of these

    http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-Tacx ... d-7798.htm

    and one of these.

    The Tacx Bike Mate used to be much cheaper when it was readily available but since Tacx stopped making them the price has gone up significantly. I don't know of anyone other than SJS who sell them.
    The WM 825 is a good solid base for it and you can shop around for the best price.
    I have used this combination for a number of years, its not perfect as you have to remove the front wheel but it does give a solid mounting for working on the rest of the bike.

    Hope this helps

    Bless you! I was looking at the black and decker one and wasn't too sure, but now with your advice I might get one of those. To be honest I'm cluless in these matters and wanted a man's opinion!!
    Thank-you
