Anyone here use a workstand or recommend one?
Been fiddling with my brakes recently and really trying to understand how to sort my gears out, but doesn't help having to lean the bike against the table in the convervatory

www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/LifeLine_LifeLine/5360009217/This is the one that lives in my flat althought technically it is martins ;D Good bit of kit, its really stable really adjustable, does everything you could want for a workstand really. Will be sad when martin asks for it back, perhaps i shouldnt have posted this cause now he's gona ;D

I forgot that was at your house oggy.
I used to struggle with the bike upside down and in all positions trying to work on my bike.
After having the use of a workstand of a mates out in Cyprus I realized just how handy they are.
The one I got in the link that oggy put up is well priced ( I didnt pay that much though, it was reduced) and just the ticket, strong, sturdy and well balanced. I even find it easier to put my bike on to wash too!

Think i'll have to invest in one. Lifting the rear wheel, while pedalling and shifting the gears became quite a chore this afternoon

I tie a bit of string round the seat tube and hang the bike from a screw in the top of a door frame.
