2.0 out of 5 stars Not a true work stand, January 3, 2007
This review is from: Topeak FlashStand Portable Tune-Up Stand (Sports)
I held high hopes for the product - being that I live in a little apartment in NYC, I was looking forward to saving space. The tune-up stand is little/portable, however it was not too sturdy. The bike, while on the stand, will not withstand much torque at all. The bike fell over many times before I gave up and purchased another bigger/more sturdy stand. Forget about turning the crank, the slightest movement of the crank creates too much torque for the little stand and the bike falls over. This stand would be good for LIGHT work - possibly a light tuning of the brakes or a wipe down with a rag. Any pressure whatsoever would necessitate a bracing hand on the frame of the bike. Overall a 2/5 because it may be okay for a little person's bike or a bmx. I used it on a men's road bike size 57.

3.0 out of 5 stars Has a plastic piece, August 18, 2006
By 
This review is from: Topeak FlashStand Portable Tune-Up Stand (Sports)
Topeak chose to build this with one hard plastic piece which is it's weakest link. The rest is built with strong parts. The hard plastic piece bends and will break with maybe 50 lbs of force (I didn't test it). The bending creates less stability in addition to the weakness of the plastic. If they had paid a little extra for an aluminum piece, it would probably hold at least 100 lbs. It's a shame to have all strong parts which can hold 100 lbs and then decide on one weak piece which can only hold 50. A stand is only as strong as it's weakest leak, of course. It's use is really only to be a portable stand you can take on rides. If you're going to use a stand at home, get atleast a chainstay/seat stay stand. I got one at performance for $25, and it can hold 100 lbs and works both on my tandem and single bike. It also lifts the tire up a little higher.

3.0 out of 5 stars Practic and usefull but...., August 22, 2006
This review is from: Topeak FlashStand Portable Tune-Up Stand (Sports)
It's a very practical device with a big problem: It's very flimsy, you put your bike and it bends and almost the tire touches the floor, some times it touches the floor making your job hard to execute it (washing, lubricating the chain etc.)

Topeak have to redisign it or reconsider to build it with metal or a harder material.

The general design is very good, you bend it and put it in a bag, very usefull when you travel by car, or to do some repairs at home and you don't have room to store a big professional style BIKE STAND
