  • After a fair bit of research I bought a Tacx T3075 Motion workstand - £89.95 at Ribble at time of writing. It's more of a work bench than a stand but I wanted one that the bike sat on rather than one which clamps the frame (carbon fibre frames innit).

    The bike sits on the bottom bracket and it secured by the dropout (front or rear).

    It folds fairly flat for storage and gives a rock solid work platform.

    I saw that one but generally ruled out stands in which you must remove the front wheel.

    Because: Track nuts, 15QR, security bolts, Schmidt dynohub (mucking around with connectors).

    Basically, I have too many bikes in which dropping off a front wheel is a pain in the arse or I suspect the stand won't accommodate the forks (the MTB sus forks).

    For road bikes though. I actually reckon that kind of stand will be much better to work on (you don't get a pole in the way on one side of the bike).
