A place to ask bicycle repair questions, and for bike shop monkeys to share advanced non commercial wrenching resources (no YouTube self promotion). This is only for repair related topics.

I'm planning a future eMTB project and I'm trying to get the tools that I need. What repair stand would guys recommend?

  • What's your budget?
  • How strong are you, i.e. what is your capacity for repeatedly lifting a heavy bike into the stand?
  • What is your anticipated build weight?
  • How much floor space do you have/need?
  • How many steps to your tool bench? Will you need additional trays attached to your workstand?
  • Do you have wheel truing available elsewhere or will you also want wheel-work management with your stand?
  • Will you need the stand to be portable or put away when you are done wrenching?
