    Default Travel repair stand

    I'm in the market for a travel repair stand. It needs to be tough. What do people like?

    I'm looking at:

    Ultimate

    Park

    Park "Euro Style" (I'm especially curious about these)

    we use the park quite a bit at the shop.

    It sits quietly in the corner when not being used.

    can easily fit in any car/closet

    swivels. is blue and chrome. can dry laundry on it.:thrasher:

    I have the park race lite and a 10 yr old ultimate

    if you're working on one type of bike for quick look overs, the park is better

    the ultimate allows install more types of bikes quickly and lets me to do more work eg front brake/wheel stuff plus I find the ultimate to be less tippy than the park

    Default Ultimate

    I have the Ultimate Pro Ultralight and I am very happy with it. It sets up and folds together quickly and only weighs about ten pounds. I have not had it very long so I don't know about long term durability

    I mean the kind that clamps the front fork. The kind you see the euro pro mechanics using.

    yeah thats the race lite that I have.

    I like it if I'm dealing with a few of the same sort of bike and don't need to worry about the front end too much.

    It does make for a good wash stand since the thing swivels like swoops hips

    if I was buying the park stand again I would get the heavier version for the increased stability.

    but if i was just buying another stand I'd get another ultimate
