Bike Repair Stand Recommendations (lemmy.sdf.org)

Does anyone have a recommendation for home gamer bike repair stands? I’d like to find an inexpensive one that stows away easily or otherwise doesnt take too much space. Since I only need it maybe once or twice a year I can do without the hard core bike shop level of durability. For my needs it just needs to hold the bike off the floor so I can do derailer adjustments.

In a pinch those wall leaning bicycle storage racks can be used as a light work stand. Most bike work these days doesn't necessitate the heavy wrenching required in the past. You may want to maybe immobilize the front wheel from flopping all about. Just something to consider. Two birds, one stone and all that.
