Review on Foldable Wall Mount Bike Repair Stand with Rotating Head - unisky Bicycle Maintenance Workstand Rack by Alex Barr

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It's bad if you hold the bike by the seat post

The device is strong enough and has a good grip. I'm sure it will hold a heavy e-bike securely if you install it properly. But there is one fatal flaw. Look at the picture and notice that the arm the head is attached to is not perpendicular to the arm it is attached to. This means that the arm is not parallel to the ground when you set it up. It's okay if you hold the bike by the top tube. However, it is best to hold a carbon fiber bike by the seatpost. Because the head isn't parallel to the ground, it's impossible to hold the bike by the seat tube without it sticking out at an odd angle, making jobs like adjusting the rear derailleur or sizing the chain a lot harder than they should be. be. A similar problem occurs when holding a full suspension mountain bike by the seat post. If I had noticed that before installing it, I would have returned it immediately. Since I already have it installed, I berate it every time I work on two of my three bikes. If you ever want to hold your bike by the seatpost, buy something else. If you're working on a heavy bike and just want to use the top tube, that's fine.
