Advice on bike repair stand

mp31 · 2011-10-10 12:26:57

Does anyone have any advice on a decent bike repair stand. I'm thinking of getting this: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lifeline-elite-team-workstand/ to help me do my regular cleaning & servicing and carry out any minor repairs etc. Alternatives and other suggestions would be welcome.

The ones that come up every now and again in Aldi seem sturdier than that, and about €20 cheaper. Problem is you don't know when they're liable to become available again.

It's that exact one. I'm pretty sure they are €30 in the shop.

Edit: Yup, €30

I have the lifeline one linked at the top, no problems with it over the last 3 years or so, everything from my race bike to my mountain bike handled fine.
