There are different types of repair stands available. When choosing the right stand, you will need to consider what you will use it for. The maximum load weight, for example, is important. There are bike repair stands that can even carry a heavy electric bike. The best bike repair stands can carry bikes up to a weight of 38 kg. For road bikes and mountain bikes this is less important, as they don't weigh as much, especially if you have a carbon one.
In almost all stands, you clamp the bike to the frame or seat post. There are also bike repair stands where the bike is fixed to the stand by its thru-axle or quick-release skewer. For minor maintenance on your bike, we recommend a Trivio repair stand and for major maintenance you will need a more expensive stand such as a Park Tool repair stand.
Most bike repair stands are foldable, allowing you to easily store them in a shed without taking up too much space.
