Hello everyone. Has anybody got any experience of this workstand from Wiggle ? I've searched for workstands and can only find references to the similar one from Ribble but they won't ship it to Ireland.

The reviews on Wiggle seem a bit mixed with most people loving it, but a small number saying it's really flimsy.

    I bought one last week and I'm happy with my purchase. Seems sturdy enough and is quite big so you should have no trouble whether you are working on a road or heavy mountain bike.
    Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.

    I have one very much like it. Perfect for home shop use. Not as sturdy as a shop model "Park" but very usable. I think you'll like it.

    I broke mine - but as peace of mind, Wiggle were incredibly good at offering to replace it and refunding me when I chose a refund.

    I'm on my second one, having broke the first. Wiggle replaced no hassle. The clamp broke on the second, so I have done a DIY fix. They are a reasonable price at 40% off, but basically sh#t in my view.

    Turn the corner, rub my eyes and hope the world will last...

    Had one of these for 4 years now, got one when they were £40.

    While others maybe more stable, I can honestly say I have been very impressed, holds my mtb and road bike. I couldn't be without it now.
