Simple floor stand?
 

Anyone ever use one of these? Any luck with doing simple maintenance? Thanks!

That is not a floor stand but a display stand (kick stand) for new bikes. Not for working on bikes. The ALDI sold stand is about the cheapest worth having. Roger

I have that stand and use it on a workbench when I am too lazy/job too small to set up my Performance Bike floor stand. It works fine for brake and derailleur work and the like, since it holds the rear wheel off of the bench. Just watch how you set it up so that it doesn't pinch the cables running under the BB, if you have them, makes it hard to adjust them.

I had one and tried to use it for maintenance. It was nearly useless for anything but a display stand and a parking device. It got the rear wheel slightly off the ground but the crank arms hit it when attempting to adjust the shifting and it wasn't steady or strong enough for much else. Buy a real work stand.

Thanks guys!

Have you thought about the Scorpion stand? I am thinking of that for the balcony, when I just want to clean my chain and don't want to break out the parktool stand.

I actually use my Saris Bones car rack by setting it over the rail of my porch. Easy, cheap and stable....

I have no idea if it’s a regular item or not, but Aldi sells a very credible and inexpensive workstand. I happened upon it earlier this year and was very pleased.

Back in the BMX days we worked on our bikes at the track using a display stand. Not good for much heavy lifting, but for simple adjustments it works well.

TiHabarnero,
Which back in the day are you referring to? The ABA or the NBA? Smiles, MH

I keep seeing references to those Aldi stands. If I ever get closer than 120 miles to an Aldi I'll have to grab one! :)

Not a regular item, only comes out one week in May and each store gets so many, and when they sell out it is done. When May comes around, subscribe to the Aldi Weekly ads and Aldi finds, look every Wednesday during May, and when you see them advertised , bike or run to Aldis. I have one and like it much better than a more expensive one I used to use.

Hi have been using a Feedback Sports Recreational Work Stand for a few years which cost $150CAD. It's not as adjustable as other more expensive models but I'm happy with it.
