Looking for a bike stand
I'm looking for a small tripod type stand to use on my bikes when I wash them. It's a pain to set up my repair stand just for that. Any suggestions?

I find that anything less than the repair stand and it won't hold up while I wash.
I do like my Ultimate stand as it is light and is easy to take out of the basement repair area to the back yard to wash.

Maybe I'm looking at this wrong. Is there a repair stand that the BF group finds better than others? I have an uber cheap park unit that I don't like.

I am fond of my Spin Doctor G3 Pro repair stand, often selling for $ 139 on sale at Performance. In terms of a wash rack, I bought a cheap ($10) wall mount folding bicycle rack at Target and mounted it to a fence post on my backyard fence. I put the bikes on the rack, wash them and fold the rack up against the post.

and thought not a tripod, i've found that the repair stand i upgraded to the G3 FROM (the performance brand 'essential stand' for ~$45) makes for a handy quickie stand for light duty, washing outside, etc.:
