Inexpensive Bike Repair Stand...Good or Gimmick? My Review of the Sportneer Stand

[@OptimusSatanas]

Youre supposed to also use that silver spring button on the back face of the column tube to lock the base and legs in position along with tightening that quick release lever. That silver spring button will prevent the stand from collapsing if the lever isnt tightened enough, and is a failsafe I wouldnt recommend ignoring if your bike is heavy. You just push the spring button in so that its flush and then the collar that connects the legs to the column tube can slip down past it. Once that occurs, the collar cant slip back over the button unless you depress it. You can see the silver tab Im talking about pretty well at 1:10.

[@enzodnaesposito]

On newer models the spring has been replaced with a riveted stop. Personally I like the spring design, and I might drill a hole thru the collar and the aluminum and use a retaining clip pin to act as a fail safe if the quick release isn’t tight enough.

[@regieendsley9750]

I've had this stand for about 6 months. It does what I need a stand to do. I do use the handlebar thing to hold the front wheel steady. It is a little awkward to use, but it again it does the job. I'm not a huge bike mechanic guy. I only have 3 bikes. I don't switch wheel around or change other things a lot. I'd say for most average riders, it's all the stand you will need. If you really work on bikes a lot you might want a heavier duty stand.

[@BillOweninOttawa]

"Only" three bikes. LOL Good for you! :)

[@cliffcarlo180]

I picked up the same stand here in the UK for £30=$42.25. Year old now and still works perfectly. I use it on average about once a week. Great little stand and cheap as chips.

[@JuanWay2Rock]

Just bought this stand (it now sells for a little under $100) - I've been doing minor upgrade hacks on my bike and like a lot of other regular Joes, I use to take the bike into a shop to be worked on. But lately, I've been wanting to do more of the work on my own (like chain lubes, and adjusting my rear derailleur cause the shifting is a little off) and to be honest, I really didn't want to buy a PARK TOOL stand cause those things cost well over $200...After seeing this review, I am convinced that I really need to buy this Bike Repair Stand...thanks Clint.

[@ebplentl]

I've had one for a couple of years. For as often as I need to use it, it's all I need. My only caveat is the plastic nuts on the quick releases. One stripped out almost immediately. I replaced them all with proper nuts and it's been totally reliable.

[@Hogrider177]

My wife bought me this stand for Christmas last year and it has served me well so far. Its had a bike hanging on it pretty much everyday since I set it up. For the price I don't think you can go wrong. Great review also, thanks.

[@rodneyjohnson4794]

kisses to your missus!

[@1975lap]

I have another cheap stand. Works generally just fine. Biggest grip is that some of the bolts that you need to tighten tight are held captive in the plastic parts by a hex indent in the plastic that the bolt head fits into. If you tighten too much that plastic deforms and the bolt will not be captive anymore and just spin. What I am talking about you can see in the end of your video in the stand head just over your right shoulder during the summary portion of your video.

[@AlexTampa-zn9xo]

I’ve had this exact same one for a bit over a year. Wash and work on my bikes maybe once a month on average and it is holding up pretty good. Zero issues, knock on wood. The telescopic extra hand/holder is certainly one of its highlights for me, has come in handy to take some shortcuts or just hold stuff I would say.

[@usamade5943]

I bought a very similar stand earlier this year with a different name (Slivery and Chavalier) for $82. It has the exact same top as this one, but the base is now 3 legged. It appears to be a new version of this stand. I like it, same as you do. In the manual, it shows the bike being hung by the top tube on the stand. The telescoping arm is called a "front wheel stabilizer" and It connects to the stand and then to the top tube via the rubber straps on each end. It braces the bike for additional stability.

[@jinavl]

I purchased a bike stand from aldi 2 yrs ago and it has been perfect..well built, telescoping legs and was only 30 dollars..excellent value

This stand is almost identical to the Bike Hand version that sells for 90 usd on Amazon. I have had the Bike Hand version for around a year and love it! You can see it in most of my bike maintenance videos. I'll try to make a review. The only difference is that the head/clamp part is slightly different.

[@gabrielsandoval4994]

At $90 Dollars I would have bought the Bike Hand, but they're asking $140 for it now. That's a big jump. This one is $100 now, so I guess its the one ill get considering they are so similar.

[@CatServant]

I picked up a NOPAARD branded version of this stand. I haven't used it yet, but your video did address one of my concerns about how much the vertical pole leans. I'll be using it to replace tires on a ~70 pound e-bike, so I guess I'll find out how well it works.

Buy once cry once ... also, the fold up stands like the cheaper Parks and this Sportneer have 3 points of contact with the ground. The Park 4 series has 4 points of contact. More points of contact = more stability. No regrets. I love the Park 100-5D clamp, it's awesome!

[@rezaulmunir8422]

I use this one and thank you so much for this video because sometime I failed to explain the advantages of this repairing stand to others and now I just simply share your video to them.

[@newttella1043]

This is almost exactly like the Velomann Bike Trim stand that I've had for about 15 years now. I paid just under $200 I think for mine. The only part that has worn out are the threads on the bolt of the quick release that clamps the bike. Nearly all my bikes have the same seatpost diameter so the same threads are being tightened down on all the time. I couldn't get a replacement for it so I just added some washers between the quick release and the clamp so different threads are used. I will actually see if I can order that one part from Sportneer to see if it can replace mine... or maybe just get the Sportneer stand. You might want to do the same in case the product is discontinued. Thanks for the review!

[@VOTE-jw6qy]

Forget about it holding up for 2-3 years, the wheels came off of this stand for me in the first 6 months. The clamps, even when tighten all the way, do not securely hold the sanctions. It is easy to tip over as well as it is really too light. Maybe this bike is good for lubing the chain, or tightening the bolts, but for anything else at all, including removing and installing the wheels, it falls short.

[@rjpg]

what wheels came off?

[@smithgov]

@@rjpg "wheels coming off" is a colloquialism, meaning it fell apart. :-)

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

You mentioned that this stand is easy to carry out side to wash a bike. I use to do that until I started using a trailer hitch bike rack. When I return I get the hose and wash the bike while it is hanging from the rack on the back. On nice days I have used the rear mount bike rack for maintenance and repair. Natural sun light is better than the lighting in my basement work shop. We don’t have to carry a bike stand for bike trips.

[@kenklosson5503]

Hi Clint, thanks for the review, I really appreciated seeing you actually use the product and your insights on its merits. Your review answered all my concerns about the quality of the unit and it’s value relative to the park tools units. I rarely have buyers remorse when I’m purchase something from industry leaders like Park tools, I usually encounter it when I opt for a discount brand, so having a really gave me confidence buying this model

[@dolittle6781]

It’s a fair enough review. I bought the inexpensive one. My experience with it is that it’s pretty challenging to clamp the stand to your seat post because you have to kinda insert and hold the bike in the clamp with just your left hand while tightening the clamp with your right hand, and if everything isn’t lined up just right before you start the stand will get pushed backwards making it much harder to clamp your bike in place as the bike starts to get heavier causing you to put it down and start again. Should help to put the stand against a wall to keep it from moving backwards. The heavier your bike the harder it will be to use the stand because more strength will be required to lift the bike up and align it with the clamp. Could be a two man job in the beginning. And the higher up you want your bike to be on the stand the stronger you would need to be to lift the bike up to your shoulders and then hold it there with one hand. Quite a bit of strength and coordination are required especially if you are new to bicycle repair stands. Be careful too about the base of the stand that could be tripping hazard until you get used to it. Once your bike is clamped in, to swivel it clockwise or counter clockwise is difficult as the weight of the bike makes it hard if not impossible to release the mechanism that allows the bike to be rotated. Would be a good idea to spend some time practicing clamping and unclamping your bicycle before you need to service it. The stand is a bit quirky and will take some time to get used to it.

[@tigerbalm666]

Just wut I need! Thx! Casual maintenance like changing pads, bars, cleaning, etc...

[@willparsons32]

I've got the red (..or burgundy) colored option of this exact bike stand ( I'm not sure if the color makes any difference or not!) and the only issue I have with the stand is when I mount my ebike that's approximately 36 pounds, the rotating lock that binds to the zig-zag teeth, doesn't completely and tightly lock the teeth together. Sadly, there's no way to adjust that clamp. Everything within that particular column is factory set and under some kind of spring tension. I'm not sure about that "Amazon" stand you're comparing but the one I have is rated to hold up to 110 pounds of bike.

[@jsv438]

Awesome. Thanks. Was wondering if this would be a good deal, now I'm certain. Demonstrated the way it should be done, in the actual environment it'll be used in, paying attention to the actual details that are important, and being objectively honest about the performance of the item. I want to be able to work on the bikes outdoors instead of in the garage. Truly helpful... you sold me! ~JSV

[@chuchuchip]

Think about this, someone like me, a recreational cyclist, who only works on my own bikes would only need to use the stand 2 maybe 3 times a year. Wouldn't this stand last a long time? I have a Feedback brand now, but when I was married I found an "El-cheapo" steel tube stand that served me for 8 years (needed to jury rig a few nuts & bolts to make it work) for taking care of the "Toys R Us" Huffys & Schwinn maintenance. The Feedback cost me about 140 bucks, much, much better quality for my Specialized & Wilier (beats a Huffy) bikes TLC. Still, it only comes out twice a year, I used to ride about 180 miles a week (rode to work), now retired, half that. If I was shopping for a stand, this looks good.

Thank you. I was looking for a low budget, light weight stand. I suspect it will wear out easily however like you mentioned, it’s portable. If I take it somewhere and lose it, I’d rather lose $70-$80 stand than the $160-$300 stand.

[@drmoynihan]

I have the Park PCS 10 and love it, but I wanted a cheaper for when we traveled to a beach cabin or mountains. I found this stand a bit weak for my full suspension aluminum, so I returned it. HOWEVER - I just ordered it again to use with my much lughter Carbon Fiber FS/Neuron & Grandchildren's bikes in Thailand. Let's see how it fares with many different hands using it.

[@meadows408]

Thanks, I have an old PCS 1 stand and I just bought a PCS9.2. I actually like the old one better but both have their faults. The screw clamp on the new one is a pain if I don't think ahead about how I am going to put the bike in the stand, everthing has to be just right to avoid clearance issues screwing the clamp shut. It also has issues holding its position if I rotate the bike up or down, same issue with the older one. The Sportneer seems to address both of those issues plus it is a good buy if it will withstand the test of time.

[@Tailspin80]

I built a hinge-down wooden harness fixed to an overhead wood storage rack in the garage. It’s padded with roofing rubber and hooks under the top tube. Cost nothing, took an hour to build and works very well. Not great for taking to races though ☹️

[@AnonymousOtters]

First of all, thanks for the review, it was quality. I question your clamping location, which is on the collar of the dropper post. That bit of the collar you have clamped appears to be allowing the rest of the seat tube to wobble between the clamping jaws, whereas if you clamped higher on the post, it would likely be much more stable.

Which of these stands do you prefer? Parktool PCS-9.2 or this one in the video?

[@ClintGibbs]

Park 100%

[@LeadMunitions]

Bought a Park last week.. had to return it to Rei. The bike would keep sliding down at the clamp..no matter how tight I made it. I haven’t replaced it yet any suggestions? Looking for a quality stand

[@ClintGibbs]

I've had several Park stands and never had an issue like that. Not really sure what to tell you on that one. Maybe check out the stands from feedback sports.

[@charliecrash3450]

Anyone- How would this stand be improved for durability and longevity? Better grade Screw-Bolt-Nut hardware (SS or grade 8)? Replacement of any Rivets? Weighting of the Legs for stability?

The local Aldi grocery store near me has bike repair stands for $17.99

[@Steve5404]

I have one of those stands and it works great!

[@greenpedal370]

I also just bought one of those from Aldi. Outstanding value! I'm usually a Park Tool man, but not this time.

[@jinavl]

Had mine 2yrs now..great buy

[@Shanelipton1]

Is there a risk of damaging the cross bar or seat post when clamping ?

[@ClintGibbs]

You have to be careful with a carbon top tube but the seat post is fine. I don't recommend clamping a top tube if it's carbon unless the clamp pressure is really light and you're very careful.

[@sjksteve]

How wide does the clamp open? I need a wide opening for my recumbent Rans V-Rex

[@ClintGibbs]

This is a pretty lightweight stand. It may be too unstable for a recumbent.
