I would like a stand to make washing / lubing my bike easier. Can anyone recommend one for under £100? I was looking at the Minoura W3000 at Evans, and there are always non branded ones on E bay.
Would be used for full suspension mountain bikes if that makes a difference.

That looks like the exact one I have.


Minoura W3000

It's been going strong for the past 8 or so years with no sign of anything breaking yet.

The only thing I'd like in addition is an integral tray for putting tools, nuts & bolts etc down onto whilst working on the bike.

{edited to add:} As clamp head rotates, you can make it accept pretty much any frame, e.g. I clamp my FS Trek by the seatpost and the rigid Marin by the top tube.

Minoura W3000 2007

Looks like the new version has a tray attached, too.

Merlin Cycles have an excellent one for about £70 if i remember rightly. In their tools and accessories section.

I got one, and the quality is superb

I've heard good things about the Edinburgh Bicycles own brand Revolution stand. About 70quid I think.

Parks stands are very good, and excellent value for money: I have the PCS-9 and it surpassed my expectations for something costing only £70.

Having used the professional Park stands which are nigh on indestructable and sooooooo easy to use, I had a rather high expectation, and was expecting to be disappointed.

As usual, Park never let you down...
