About this deal
There's no denying the satisfaction of owning a permanent mounted stand that is more solid than the bike it's holding, but a permanent repair stand is really only for committed home mechanics. Exerting a lot of force on tight bolts and stuck bottom brackets is best done in this style of stand.
Generally there aren’t any significant advantages to one or the other system; both have their pros and cons.Other than the plastic components, the only other area where the Bike Hand loses out to its competitors is its height. Portable vs permanent Portable repair stand Having a portable repair stand makes it much easier to, for example, take it outside to wash your bike.
And because it’s electric, you don’t have to worry about safety concerns that accompany other repair stands, such as a belt breaking or a compressed air hose bursting.A very useful complement since it allows you to set the desired height allowing the support to rotate on itself while the bicycle is mounted on it, avoiding accidental lowering due to the weight of the bicycle. It may not suit taller mechanics because its maximum height is 108cm, nor will it be the most effective option for an externally cabled bike, but it takes up little room when fully folded and is a lightweight option. The tripod base of the Sprint Stand unfolds and collapses back down in the same manner, and both height and swivel are controlled by quick-release levers. You can compare the max loads, max and min height, and weights of a load of bike stands in the tables below.
