Great Stand at a Great Price
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Versatile
"I've been wanting a decent stand for ages, but never wanted to part with £70+
I saw this stand down to £40 and decided to invest.
It took minutes to assemble (attach the feet)
It has a very simple, but effective design.
It simply folds out and is ready to use. It takes seconds to mount your bike on it. Sit your bottom bracket in the frame and lift a clamp over the down tube. Then screw it tight and that's it. The bike is held firmly in place with access to everything at chest height.
The only thing I had to fiddle with, was making sure the bike's cables ran I the groove of the stand and didn't get clamped.
Perfect for cleaning and working on your bike. Th only thing it doesn't do, is swivel or rotate, but for £40 you can't go wrong."

Not for all bikes!
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Lightweight
Cons: Poor Fit
"I recently purchased this as the price was too good to miss. Unfortunately it doesn't fit all bikes. I have a Focus Izalco and as this has a large BB it just does not sit in the BB cradle and moves all over the place. It's such a shame as the stand its self if good. Small BB will be fine."

Not for all bikes like advertised
Cons: Bulky, Low Quality, Poor Fit
"Hi recently purchased this stand at the price of £47.99 seemed a real bargain and stated its good for all bikes. This however is not the case i own a giant tcr advanced 3 and anyone who knows this bike knows it has a massive bottom braket and a very square frame it does not fit the stand very well at all and moves about alot im reluctant to over tighten the spring grip for fear it may crack the composite frame. all in all its an ok stand if you have a bog standard round frame just dont think your £2000 pride and joy is going to fit it well because mine does not ."

not sure why it took me so long to buy one
Pros: Great Value, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
"this is a great product! This is the first workstand I've bought after tinkering with bikes for 15 years and not entirely sure why it took me so long. If in doubt buy a stand, they make everything much easier and quicker.
This stand is very easy to put together (I read in a review where somebody complained that an allen key wasn't supplied but to be honest if you don't have an allen key in your bike tool box, i'm not sure what you intend to do with a stand?) Anyway, easy to put up, it's easy to put your bike on and secure it in place. It folds away easy, although not completely flat, for easy storage. It's light and easy to reposition with bike attached if required. I've used it for my mountain bike, my wifes road bike and the kids bikes and all fit easily. I've noticed I've used the word "easy" a lot in this review .... i guess that's my point."

"Bought this for £50. Holds the bike securely at waist height via simple clamp system, so you cannot adjust the height or orientation of the bike like more expensive stands but for the price it's brilliant."

A good stand but watch the size of your down tube
Reviewer Images
click to enlarge
Pros: Great Value, Rugged
Cons: Poor Fit
"I got this half price so I really can't complain. It definitely worth €65 but I wouldn't pay double that for it.
It pretty sturdy, I even spun it up as fast as I could by hand it it remained firmly in place.
It pretty sturdy, I even spun it up as fast as I could by hand it it remained firmly in place.
It arrived very quickly, only 3 days after ordering, but with a large hole in the box. When it was opened I noticed that something must have hit the box pretty hard as the handle that used to tighten the clamp was shattered. In fairness this was a problem with the delivery, not the stand itself.
I bought it for cleaning the bike. It really made things much easier. The only problem is the way the bike sits on the frame, It makes getting under the bottom bracket impossible.
Getting into the stand is very simple but I do have to use a wrench to tighten it until wiggle send on a new clamp.
If your bike has a large down tube beware that it may not fit. My Canyon has a very large tube so I had to remove the spring from around the clamp so would fit, Barely! Though I got it attached the arm of the clamp is still pressing into the frame quite hard. I'm going to have to get a pad to stop it marking the frame.
Once I was finished cleaning the bike it folded up simply. Nice and easy to store.
So to sum it all up, it's sturdy for cleaning and minor repair work, I don't know if I'd trust trying to get the bottom bracket open while in this but I'd give that to the bike shop to do anyway. As long as your down tube isn't too big it will fit nicely and very secure.
Would I buy one again? well for half price yes, but not for the full price, there are better options out there."

Hard to setup to a bike
Cons: Bulky, Poor Fit, hard to setup some bike frames to the stand
"Firstly, i'll start by saying I'm a little disappointed it doesn't come with a hex wrench, because this frame needs it to setup the feet.
Secondly, once setup, and you've managed to set the bike up on the frame, it's quite stable. The bike doesn't move at all.
Setting the bike up on the frame by yourself is quite a challenge. Following the instructions, there's quite a bit of balancing required on the base support where the bottom bracket of the bike sits on. And if the bottom bracket is wide or has a larger angle between the downtube and chainstay, then it will not sit on the base support. The base support seems to sit perfectly for bottom brackets that have a perfect circle.
There's this locking clamp that clamps down on the downtube, and because my bottom bracket is large and won't sit still, I have to balance the bike with one hand and try to twist the locking knob with the other to lock the clamp.
UNFORTUNATELY, the way the clamp twists to lock turns the clamp in a direction that moves the clamping head out of place, making it hard to clamp down the downtube....
Just get another stand."

Elite spin doctor workstand
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Rugged, Good Fit
Cons: slightly awkward clamping
"Ordered this workstand as i was fed up with turning the bike upside down for routine maintenance. Impressed by how sturdy it was and how secure the bike was when mounted on the stand. Folds up neatly when not required, and is light ebough to move around when the bike is mounted. For the £50 i paid for it, couldn`t have wished for better value, and good quality."

Beware!
Pros: Rugged, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight
"This produce is an excellent product but you must be aware if you have a cadence sensor on the bike. The sensor on the pedal stops you rotating the pedals whilst the bike is on the stand.
If you can live with that, then it is sturdy, compact and reliable."

"The stand is perfect for all ur home bike maintenance requirements, it holds the bike very firmly in place at an ideal height for fiddling with the chain & gears etc.
Only slight gripe is that due to the strange leg bases, its quite easy to knock the stand over or having it rocking about under any force.
Easy to accomodate for this when you know but a little annoying."
