Do you own a work stand? Have you ever heard any horror stories of people clamping their frame incorrectly?

Spent about 500 miles on it and so far so good wwwyoutubecom/post/UgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA Pros:1 Very light2 Solid quality build3 Fast delivery: It arrived 5 weeks earlier than expected4 Easy assemblyJust a few cons but nothing major:1 Cheap tin tubes and had flat on first day but not a big deal I replaced the tubes2 Seat is a bit uncomfortable but that's pretty much the same situation with most bikes3 Seat post is a bit long/high for a smaller size 48 bike - had to saw 2 inch off to fit properly The lowest setting is too high The post locking system does not seem to hold well (perhaps because I saw 2 inch off)4 wheels are not tubeless compatible (from what I can tell)

Before seeing this clip I actually bought one today on sale for €20 from that well known German supermarket… looks good & sturdy too for 20 yo-yo’s!

Here is my great idea💡💡💡brWhen making a how-to video of a repair stand, why not demonstrate how the stand performs? Mount an MTB/E-MTB into the jaws and maneuver it in different positions, in the same way you would while performing repairs and maintenance As you're doing the demo, feel free to make comments regarding the dos and don'ts

I wouldn't clamp to a suspension seat post
Comment from : Rob Ternowski

Just got the same bike stand and didn’t realize there were specifics on where to clamp Have been clamping around top tube (thankfully not too tight Will be changing that and using the seat postbrbrTHANK YOU

Wheres doddy?
Comment from : Simon Chaddock

My bike is quite heavy (37 pounds) so I don't use the seat post I'm just not comfortable, and even less comfortable with rotating while clamped to the post I use the top tube but only clamp as tight as it needs to be I have a vertical shock so lots of room If I have to take a wheel off, I adjust the clamping position so it's balanced
Comment from : Andre C

Got one of these this year, it's awesome for clean up and maintenance on my E-MTB makes everything so much easier

Hello Blake , hey I wanted to know that why do some bikes have only front suspension, only I just got a new huffy bike cost me all me life savings (PS I hope I don’t get me bike scratch that would be 😣 horrible)

Geart video I've have own a portable wreck force for over + 20 years it makes working on my bike's more enjoyable, it's one of those tools you must have, it even have a wheel adjustment so I true my rims They sure don't make them this good anymore, this stand will be passed down to more generations to come
Comment from : Rocky Hernandez

Bought one from Halfords six years ago for £25 All nuts are stainless so no rust Always clamp on the top tube of the aluminium frame

I use my stand to wash my bike all of the time
Comment from : adam clark

That german supermarket he meant is Lidl and they have a decent stand for good price Sometimes it goes in sale and thats exactly what I did
Comment from : komoonkh

Not just carbon framesbrIf you look at the tube catalogue for for bike tubes Some high end triple butted aluminium tubes get down to 05mm wall thickness in the middle you don't want to be clamping things like that in a work stand
Comment from : Michael Hardy

Looking in the German market is a great tip Here in the USA, I got my repair stand at an ALDI a few years ago for something like $40 USD on clearance For the price it's great, but it definitely has some shortcomings Definitely is awkward when clamping the seatpost, though
Comment from : Kevin Tomayko

And remember not to force the bike level when hanging from the seatpost Let the bike hang in its natural angle and the seatpost should be vertical Otherwise it may stress the dropper too much if you force the bike level

That German Supermarket! Don't ignore if you wife asks you to buy something there :)

I'm in germany and none of the supermarkets in my neighbourhood has bikestands What is he talking about?
Comment from : Buttkick Turbo 3000

I clamp to the top tube as I have an aluminum framed hardtail I also don't clamp it tight with my centre aisle German stand It seems to sit nicely It just feels too heavy and unwieldy when I try and clamp the seat post, but I'm sure if I had a carbon frame I'd go the seat post

Love my Bike Hand stand
Comment from : speed2live

Work stands are great👍🤓👍
Comment from : Keith Westwood

Rick Have the same Park stand Usually clamp onto the upper seatpost like you; but, also just hang the bike by resting the underside of the nose of the seat on the backside of the plastic-protected clamp for minor jobs (like lubricating the chain) Used to have a higher-end Park stand with a weighted base; but, it was cumbersome to move about and store
Comment from : Bill Deras

I use my stand outside to hose off and wash the bike

Comment from : Liam McFarlane

Isn't clamping the seat post bad for a dropper seat post? Thought I heard that somewhere Avoided doing so ever since
Comment from : Bauke van Bloemenhuis

I still don't own oneHa
Comment from : fud 1

Great video Rich I always forget to extend the clamp arm so that I can spin the cranks when checking gears and cleaning/lubing the chain Without extending that arm, the pedals hit the vertical tube As a newbie, I made the mistake of clamping to the top tube but after watching videos like this, I was set straight Thanks GMBN!!

I fumbled about with a homemade bike stand made of 2X4s for a few months before I wised up and invested in a proper collapsible one Makes maintenance and repair infinitely easierbrI admit I'm guilty of clamping external brake cables on a road bike in the beginning 😆
Comment from : Gabe C

GMBN needs some fresh content not these stupidly simple videos about basic tasks How to use a bike stand? Really?? Sadly I'm unsubscribing from this channel since most videos seem to be made for people with no common sense whatsoever

I've had my German gem for over five years now and it not yet me as yet Touch wood
Comment from : Mr L

It depends on the individual frame Clamping on the top tube of a fragile, thin alloy road bike frame may not be the best idea, the sane with carbon fiber frames in general (carbon fiber behaves different than metal) A normal alloy MTB frame however is more than ridgid enough to take that load on the top tube (these are 2200 G frames) and with cromoly it's never a problem

What a potty mouth 🤣🤣🤣do you mean a slightly wonky floor
Comment from : Jason Archer

My KS LEV DX dropper is externally routed thankfully, means I can disconnect in seconds and just put a standard diameter post in for putting it in the stand Wonder what tips they have for using bikepacking gear with a DP? So far I just swap out the post and saddle and live with manually adjusting it for climbs and descents like we did back in the daynot wrecking the DP with a muddy bag clamped to it moving around!!

silly sausage??
Comment from : doopydoop

IO switched to a carbon frame (road, but that's not important in this equation), and I ditched my cheap clamp stand, and switched to a Feedback Sports Sprint, which secures the bike through either the front or rear axle and rests on the bottom bracket, and I can spin the bike on the spot That thing is brilliant, highly recommend this type of stand
Comment from : Neelon Rokk

my work has a Park Tool bike stand that we just got The one thing I don't like about it is that after clamping the bike in place the bike always inevitably ends up tipping down towards whichever end of the bike is heaviest I always clamp the bike in level and it always ends up tipped down no matter how tight I tighten the spindle thingy on the back of the stand Do you have any advice for this?
Comment from : NonLegit Nation 2

It's a bit trickier with heavy e-bikes - it's harder to lift and clamp them at the same time
Comment from : Daniel

One of the most useful purchases made It is not a nice one as yours, but works good enough Will probably update it at some point The main problem with cheap ones is that depending the position your bike will turn to one side or the other Other than that they get the job done easily
Comment from : Talented Fluke

If you need a video on how to use your bike stand, you probably should not be working on your own bike 🤦‍♂️
Comment from : Drunk Duck

About clampung on the dropper, I did that on a kashima coated fox transfer It didn’t go well… And I used a rag on the clamp!
Comment from : Carlos Mariano

Regarding the clamp on frame, imo it’s only an issue with Carbon frames You don’t have to worry too much about clamping too hard on an aluminium or Titanium frame Ofc do be mindful that you don’t scratch your frame paint while doing so
Comment from : RADukura OG

What are your thoughts on leaving a bike (with dropper post) stored in the stand? I can’t imagine it hurts anything but thought I’d ask
Comment from : John Pahl

🤣 🤣 🤣 It was all on the piss
Comment from : Gary Cockbain

Is seatpost clamping safe when you've got an e-bike or other heavy bike with dropper?
Comment from : Dmnick155

Great wee vid thanks Have a lifeline stand from CRC and its excellent
Comment from : kisilvan

HAHA love my $15 Aldi bike stand, use it all the time!
Comment from : Andrew Gardner

I use a really cheap one it works week besides the fact it keeps leaning my bike front heavy and turning is
Comment from : BoBo The rice farmer

I have the Feedback Sports Pro Elite stand It's fine for a normal bike but despite a load rating suggesting otherwise, it doesn't do well with my ebike on it If I had the option to return it, I would
Comment from : RobG Offroad

Thought about getting one, can't afford a expensive one sadly, so have to find a decent budget one
Comment from : BADBOY

Is the floor off level or was that just the camera?
Comment from : dreamseelive

Thanks so much for the info, but i haven't been able to clamp my bike from the dropper cause i can't get the jaws close enough the post to keep the bike still, any tips?
