REI Members get back an estimated
$ 12.90 on this item as part of their
annual member refund.
The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Great Entry-Level StandI found out the hard way that in the case of bike repair stands, there is a correlation between price and quality. I was attracted to this model because it seemed to offer the best balance between price and performance.
This stands holds my 27lb. mountain bike perfectly and even when pedaling vigorously is very stable. The clamp and folding head are versatile and you can choose to clamp the seat post, seat tube or top tube.
The folding system is simple but actually pretty clever. When you want to fold the stand up, the pin is removed and the legs rotate upwards to rest parallel to the main shaft and the pin is reinserted.
The stand seems well built and appears to have the same clamping head as the more expensive Feedback Sports models.
My only (small) complaint is that when the stand is folded up the pin can sometimes slide out if you pick it up to move it with the pin facing down.
Overall this is a great stand for the money. If you need a bike repair stand for occasional maintenance and can't justify purchasing a pricer stand then check out this model!

Excellent Bike StandShopping for a bike stand I was looking for two things. Does it hold the bike up without slipping and is it light enough to move around. I give this stand five stars for both. We're not splitting the atom here, we're holding up a bike so we can wash it down or work on it. I have a 29er with an XL sized frame and the stand holds the bike up by the seat post and the bike stays in place while I'm cranking the pedals or spraying it down. The clamp arm can be rotated to accomodate the seat post or top tube. I have angled the clamp slightly to match the seat post angle so the bike wheels are parallel to the floor. I can't see paying big bucks for other stands when this one does the job just fine. Highly recommended.

Good, inexpensive, sturdy standActually not a lot to say about this stand. I bought it so I can more easily change the rear derailleurs that I destroy on the trail and it works perfectly for that use and as often as I will use it.
It's fairly lightweight yet sturdy. Inexpensive. And the legs fold up so it's easy to get out of the way or take with you on a trip.
The clamp is a little bit of a pain to screw closed while holding the bike up but that's the trade off for the cheaper model: no quick release clamp. Again, for as often as I'll use it I'll bear with it.
Hopefully, the folding legs will hold up for years to come. Any hinge is obviously going to be a weak point but since I won't use it terribly often it should be perfect for me.

Suprised by all the positive reviews...Ordered this based on all the high reviews. Was not at all happy. Swayed a lot.
It was small, easy to store and setup. Just not nearly enough quality for the price.
Ended up returning, and for just a bit more got the feedback Sports stand - with Tripod base. It uses the same upper clamp as this one and is substantially more stable.
I do like the upper clamp, it works pretty slick, smooth and quick. I actually like this clamp more than the speed clamp on the Pro model.

Recreational is right!Very satisfied so far. For my relatively heavy bicycle, the stand is very stable on a level concrete garage and even on a less level brick surface outside. Easy to adjust and tighten. Recreational is right because it is very fun to use, especially compared to turning my bike upside down to work on it as before.

More than I expectedI got the least expensive model because I am basically a novice/intermediate rider who does regular but minimal mainenance. I was every pleased with the quality and sturdy construction of this stand. Can't imagine needing more, or paying more.

Great standGreat stand. I have several mountain bikes of varying tube sizes/shapes and weight. This stand holds them all steady while I work on them.
