I'm interested in the workstand. 3 year warranty if it falls apart. I'm sure it can't be of any a lesser quality than the EBC one.

I like how the computer includes temperature and calories used.

Yeah stay away from the lidl computers.Mine and my wifes both lasted about a year then died.........sniff sob!

At £3 it's still a bargain! Mine is still working more reliably than the expensive wireless sigma on my roadbike (grrr)

Maybe it's a different one. Mine was £25...........hrmfph! My £6 tesco one still going though.

To be honest the stand looks better than the EBC one (which I have owned for a few years) - it might be flimsy and crap in practice but the photos show a better layout of legs and also a nifty handlebar-straightening device...

That good, eh? That's possibly why mine is made by Park, rather than Marwi. But any workstand beats crouching on the floor for hours!

I don't mind the EBC stand really - it's not very useful for the recumbent, but otherwise it does the trick (mainly used for things like recabling which are fiddly but not forceful).
I fitted new cranks to my MTB following on from my recent smash. Not sure I would have cared to try that in the EBC stand, I had to jam the bike in a corner of the stairwell to get it secure enough to haul on!
If I ever get a garage I'm going to get a proper Park shop stand that is bolted to the floor...

continuing the theme of cheap cycly bits, I was making a once in a decade trip into a Poundstretcher today as part of my mission to buy a wicker basket no larger than 16x16x8" and came away with a magnetic parts bowl for £1.99 (The blue Park Tool one going for c. £7.99)

Our exiled friend spytfyre thought we might like to know that there are "2 bikestands left in Leith after I got one when there were none left in Dalry"
Posted 13 years ago # -
I looked in South Clerk St. but there was nothing bikey whatsoever.
Posted 13 years ago # -
Damn damn damn! Completely forgot about this - I wonder if there are any bikestands left in Musselburgh...

Ach I've managed 30 odd years without a workstand ......here's to the next 30 odd years.

I might be nipping out round that way this afternoon. I'll have a quick look.

That's pretty much how I felt about workstands until I got one. Now I don't know how I ever managed without it! Just getting a bit old and creaky and, well, broken now.
@Cyclingmollie
Fingers crossed!

Hi anth, sorry but they are all gone. There are plenty of cycle computers, gloves, mini foot-pumps, children's h*****s, saddle mount tool-kits and a few tops. I couldn't even see where the price ticket had been for the workstands.
Posted 13 years ago # -
Damn! Hmmm, wonder where else I can look....

Granton Lidl is sometimes a good bet as it's a bit remote, but again it's a bloody big dogleg for you.
Posted 13 years ago # -
I get the impression they only had one or two per shop.
You could always 'phone...

magnetic parts bowl for £1.99 in Poundstretcher - what sort of pound shop is that?
My dear departed dad used to make me laugh, he would say, I've just been up the pound shop in Ayr High Street, I got four of these screwdrivers, guess how much they cost?

it certainly stretched my pound. All the way to £1.99 it did.
