Review on πŸ”§ Topeak Flashstand MX Workstand - Enhanced SEO-friendly Product Name by Andy Tunes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works if you have the correct hollow crank size

I'm writing this review mainly because I put off buying this thing for so long as there aren't any real reviews on YouTube or anywhere else. Got this because I don't have room for a fully functional bike rack at the moment, but I have yet to get my bike working. Also, I only use it to keep my bike upright and out of the way. The other reason I put off buying this item was the price - it seems a bit high for what it is. But now that I have it, it's very stable and supports my bike well. Things to look out for: Make VERY sure you measure the ID of the hollow connecting rod before ordering - I used digital calipers which read 20mm. , but the default setting for the kickstand didn't work. Luckily a 19mm insert was included and it fits. Without the additional use I would have problems. Also, for some reason there was some rust on the bag this thing ended up in, which is a little odd but doesn't seem to affect the product. The good thing: My bike is very stable on this stand and I can pedal freely - the stand doesn't get in the way. You can easily pack it up when not in use (it breaks into 2 pieces and one attaches to the other) so it's good for saving space. Final verdict: If it's more than $35-$50 I'd say it would be a good deal if it fits your bike. I think if Topeak could lower the price while supporting more hollow cranks it would be a better product.

Pros
  • Trunk, transport and storage
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
