Clever design, compact and well made, but it is sized to only fit bikes with the small down tube on older frames. Would fit on my old aluminum hybrid, but the hook is way too small to fit the larger tubes of recent carbon bikes from 2014-2024.

This will not fit all bikes. It doesn't work with my 2016 Trek Domane 4.3. Also, the Stages power meter sensor hits the stand.Works nicely with my vintage Cannondale SR500.Needs a redesign.

This product is supposed to be a fold-up bicycle stand. It's a known design: a hook wraps around the bicycle's down tube (from the handlebars to the tube that holds the pedal mechanism), a platform sits under the cross tube holding the pedals, and two legs lift the rear of the bicycle off the ground. I've seen other stands like this that *don't* fold, and they work well.The problem with this stand is that you can't lock any of the folding parts after you unfold them! The parts then flop about as you're trying to lift the bike up on the stand. The support legs are particularly troublesome, because they tend to fold up when you're trying to put the bike on top of them!If there's a trick to using the stand, it's not obvious and not mentioned anywhere in the instructions.I threw the device aside for the moment. Having the fold-up feature wasn't critical, so I bought something that was easier to use and worked.

Fast shipment, easy to assemble, sturdy for minor maintenance, and excellent stable mobile kick stand (must be leveled surface). Comes with clear instruction and storage bag. No major issues very pleased with product.

It is fine for oil chain, make some small ajustements and very practical for his small portable size, keeping in the car while you travel with the bike, etc. Keep in mind that it is not a full stand bike repair so it is not possible get stability as we could wish.

This is definitely a well-designed tool that helps with minor repairs. Several people have said that turning your bicycle upside-down is just as good, but I disagree. It's difficult to change gears or put the brakes on while spinning your rear wheel. This tool solves that problem among other things. Of course it's not a permanent stand that you can ride your bike on, but again, it was not designed for that purpose. Highly recommended for quick repairs, lubing your chain, or just an indoor bike stand!

Geeignet für die, die an ihrem Fahrrad keinen Ständer montieren möchten. Ich z.B. fahre überwiegend mit dem Mountainbike im Gelände und da würde ein montierter Ständer stören. Diesen Ständer kann man leicht im Rucksack mitführen, er ist einfach und schnell zu bedienen. Wenn man zu Hause die Kette ölen will, dann funktioniert er auch sehr gut, da das Hinterrad aufgebockt drehbar ist. Einen Montageständer, für größere Reparaturen, ersetzt er allerdings nicht.

後輪のハブを挟む一般的なスタンドを使用していましたが、うまくハブにひっかけることができずいつも苦労していましたが、これは非常に簡単です。安定性はそれほど高くないですが、私の用途では十分です。思っていたよりもコンパクトですし、買ってよかったです。

Obviously this is no replacement for a full mechanics stand but for basic cleaning and adjusting of your bike it works really well. My bikes has a 3rd water bottle and cables routed under the bottom bracket, I was afraid there would be interference but no problem. It folds up small. For the cost and weight it is great.

Required some maneuvering to get it to hold the bike in place. Does not work well on carpet. But is well built and solid.

Der Flashstand ist geeignet zum Einstellen der Schaltung, Pflege der Kette und zentrieren der Bremsen. Als Ständer zum Reinigen kann er auch gute Dienste leisten.Etwas ärgerlich ist die schlechte Passform der dickeren Gumminöppel, die gegen die flachen, bereits vormontierten, zum Halten von Mtb's getauscht werden müssen. Diese sind im Lieferumfang enthalten.Einer der Nöppel hält nicht richtig, wenn er verloren geht ist das Teil nicht mehr zu gebrauchen, da das Bike dann nicht grade steht und ständig umkippt.Mein altes Stahlrahmen Bike ist mit 15kg zu schwer für den Flash Stand. Der Hinterreifen ist damit nur etwas höher als 1cm in der Luft und subjektiv emofunden wird er eine solche Last nicht auf Dauer mitmachen.Für moderne Bikes ist der Flash Stand jedoch eine gute und schnelle Hilfe für kleinere Wartungen zwischendurch.Ich nutze ihn seit ca 2 Monaten, hoffe er hält noch eine Zeit lang durch.Das ganze Gewicht des Rades wird von zwei Gelenken getragen. Diese werden dadurch stark beansprucht.Positiv ist, dass der Flash Stand klein verpackt werden kann und damit ein sehr leichter mobiler Helfer für unterwegs sein kann.

While this stand doesn't provide the stability of a traditional bicycle work stand, the Topeak Flash Stand offers a nice balance of compactness and utility. For apartment dwellers where space is precious, it is an excellent stability aid for many bike repairs where the front wheel is intact such as derailleur adjustments. It is not suitable for major front work such as fork replacements because the bipod stand requires the front wheel to be resting on the ground.Most conventional bicycle work stands are designed to clamp on the seat tube. This arrangement allows for work on virtually any part of the bike. This stand uses a hook to capture of the down tube while providing support for the bottom bracket. It doesn't completely stabilize the bicycle, requiring that that one wheel balances half the bicycle while the bipod Flash Stand balances the other half. This arrangement prevents work on the fork or the front wheel. Moreover, the stand is quite unstable if it is resting on a soft surface and the feet can't dig into a solid layer. One such surface that is a problematic is a protective towel over carpeting. I haven't tested it on uneven ground, but probably wouldn't be very stable.Considering the size and portability, the design is solid. However, stability would be improved if the feet were farther away from vertical (i.e. more acute angle to the ground). Also, a significantly larger and heavier design would increase stability but, of course, reduce portability.At 1/6th the cost of home work stands or 1/20th the cost of a shop work stand, this product is a good value, especially at Amazon prices (28 dollars in July 2011). Despite the limitations compared to larger stands the Flash Stand is an excellent product for those home mechanics that are cash and space constrained.ProCompactInexpensiveConsShould have feet at steeper angleCould be larger for additional stabilityDoesn't allow for front fork repairs
