Anyone used an Andystand ?

[highpeakrider]

This looks interesting for a bit of rear maintenance where you don’t want to use a full stand, I’m thinking tire change, lube and mech adjustment, or a simple stand for enduro events.

My first impression was "Wow, that's expensive!"

These only work with hollow cranks. It doesn't work on my Kenevo as the holding arm is too wide. I can use it on my other bikes though so not a complete waste of money.

£40 ?
That was my initial thought, although it’s not great marketing that the first pics actually show the cost of two.

Oh I see! Yes, I didn't spot that the prices quoted were for two items. I agree, bad marketing! While I will back off my first thought about it being "expensive". I still wouldn't pay £40 for one. I already have two workstands. If I was in the habit of waiting until I got to the trail before doing my maintenance, then maybe it would come in useful as it is a lot more compact than either of my workstands.

There are quite a few similar options out there, some quite a bit cheaper, e.g 25 quid

Crank It Up Stand

For what I needed I did a quick bit of bodging.

Haha, I made a similar one it works perfectly...

That doesn't look like "a quick bit of bodging" to me. That looks like an elegant DIY solution.

The ‘proper’ ones have a longer bar into the crank and lift the back wheel off the ground. You can then turn the pedals to oil the chain etc.
You do need to make sure it is a burly one for an ebike or it will just bend with the weight.

I like em for washing off my bikes. Easy to setup and you can get all around.

If it was <£50 and foldable I would buy one to keep in the van, but not as it stands.....

This any good?
Bikemate Folding Bike Stand

I use the Ibera bike stand and it works, but not always an easy task putting the bike on the stand. I researched for hours, and decided this was my only viable option for garage storage. About $20 USD from Amazon. I bought two.

I make a stand for bulls and Fantic, they sit with back tire off the ground but if you remove front tire it will set on back tire. Work great for washing and changing tires.
I made them wide so you can pressure wash your bike and it won’t blow over.

I bought one in 2012 for my old hardtail cube LTD SL with the hollow shimano crank - still got them both (sons bike now) and still love the stand.

When I got the Levo I replaced it with one of these and I’m equally happy ??
