Hi all, after a bike stand for my dads Xmas present - there is a popular one on eBay for approx £30, are these any good??

    I have something similar, not great but does the job.

    One thing you might want to avoid is the quick release clamp. It might work if you only ever clamp one bike in the same place, but I decided an adjusting knob made more sense.

    I have one of these & they do the trick at a great price.

    I have the non folding version - mine came with a bunch of bolts missing and its not the most robust and wobbles a fair bit while you are working but it does the job. I plan to ditch mine for a Park sometime.
