Dear all,
After many years of scrabbling around on my knees I've decided to finally get a workstand, trouble is I don't know what sort. There seem to be two types, one that clamps the bike at a single point and the other type that holds the bike at two points such as under the bottom bracket and by the forks. The latter seems more stable to me.......I also worry about damage to the tubes with the single clamp variety. Having said that bike shops seem to use the single clamp type. My bikes are all touring bikes so a little heavier than the typical racer. I would intend to keep the stand in workshop and there is plenty of room for it so don't need anything collapsable etc
My approach with tools is always to get the best so I am willing to spend some money here. Any advice from users?
NB I haven't seen any threads on this topic before......
