Repair stand?

I using 3 bikes and I do like in future to maintain and servicing my bicycles myself . I do like to buy bicycle repair stand , it will make my life little bit eazy . I am not bicycle mechanic but I can handle some repairs and mainteinance on it , so my question is what brand you recomend to me and what to look for . Thanks for help . Experienced cyclists answers please .

If you have room at home for a permanent shop stand, get one of the professional models from park that can bolt to a bench or the floor.

For portable stands, I really like the Ultimate brand more than the rest. I got the Ultimate Pro Elite with the ratcheting clamp and have been very happy with it. I've used lots of others from Park, Pedros, Minoura, and Performance Bike....they all work, and none of them are really rock solid. The Ultimate is the nicest of what I've used so far, and yes, it will make your life a little easier! Saves the knees, too! :o)

Park tools has some really good products. We used Park tool stands at my shop for repairs. Pedro's also has good tools. They can be a little more expensive though. I'd suggest going with the basic Park tools stand though.. unless you have a carbon bike ... then go with something higher model....The basic Park stand has everythign you need to work on your bike and keep it steady. You can find them from $80-120 depending where you go or what shop online. Try these for online stores:

Park is the bomb, but if money is an issue try building one out of 2x4's. All you really need is something you can hook the front of the seat over. I work in a shop and I sometimes do that instead of clamping the bike because I don't feel like messing with the seat post.

park for sure. if you dont want to buy one then make one. i use two 2x4's and stick them in between the steps of a ladder it works just fine for a quick repair.

Can't go wrong with anything from Park:
