As title really.

Did first of cleaning and luring tonight and found it a little awkward getting to all areas of the bike so thinking of investing in a work stand.

I like the idea of being able to clamp at a fork to stop the fork swinging around, but once rend that the BB just rests at the other end. What stands do people use/recommend?

A quick trawl of the web brought up these;

    I have this one:

    It's perfectly fine and does everything I need it to.

    I have a Park PRS-20. twas expensive but makes working on the bike an absolute joy. Setting up the gears is so much easier on this than trying to do it without a stand.

    The edinburgh bike one is good, looks much the same as that one from merlin tbh.

    The Lidl one @£29.99 is a good buy if you can find one, certainly served me well being used every day.

    I bought a Parktools 10 which was not cheap, weighs a ton, is a pig to pack away and I don't find provides nearly enough rigid stability. Perhaps my expectations were placed a bit high, but this is not the answer for me.
