good stand to take with you
I just bought my second stand like this after an old man broke my first one. They are great to take along if you are planning a ride far from home and may need a quick tune up at your campsite. I have used mine countless times, but my first one couldn’t hold up to an old man who didnt know how to use it. Just don’t put too much downward pressure on your bike when it is on the stand or spin the tire excessively fast. Being a portable, folding stand, stress on the hinge can cause it to break pretty quickly, like bending your elbow the direction it isn’t meant to go. I was also able to fix my first one. If you have one and the plastic part of the hinge breaks, just use JB Weld and it will be good as new. Overall a great portable stand, and works flawless when used properly.

Compact and Sturdy, Good Value for The Space Constrained
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

Great Portable Bike Stand
This is great for traveling so we don’t have to lean our bikes against walls or furniture in hotel rooms. We liked the first one so much that we got a second. We use it on my tri-cross bike all the time at home too. It’s light weight and folds down compactly. It even comes with it’s own little carry bag. It’s another great product from Topeak.

Totalmente soddisfatto
Davvero pratico, fa bene il suo dovere ed é utilissimo anche per chi (come me) non ha a disposizione molto spazio per lavorare (i treppiedi tradizionali sono di gran lunga più ingombranti), la bici é mantenuta abbastanza stabile ma chiaramente non essendo fissata occorre prestare attenzione.Rapporto qualità/prezzo eccezionale e spedizione veloce.

Tut was er soll!
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.

Lightweight, compact, and easy to use!
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!

Practical and convenient
If you don’t have the space or resources for a large bicycle repair stand, this little fella will come handy for works on the rear side of your bike.A bit delicate at first to hold it still, but once the bike is secure it is solid enough.

Tries to be a clever design for a bike stand, and fails in every respect.
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.

Overpriced…
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.

おすすめ出来ます。
私のロードバイクはXSで、サイクリングロードやショップのスタンドにサドルを掛けると宙ぶらりんになってしまいます。ツーリング中にちょっとコンビニに寄った時にも電柱に立てかけたりで困ってました。他の方々のレビューで重いとか安定性に欠けるなどの意見があって悩みましたが、500mlのペットボトルの重さと一緒だし、あくまでもツーリング中の一時的な用途での使用として購入してみましたが、全く問題無く重宝しました。自宅での保管やメンテナンスに使用するには確かに安定性はありませんが、私のような用途ならこんな手軽で便利なアイデアグッズは無いと思います。

Very good and practical for travelling, oil chain, small ajustements
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.
