Great info. My cheapo tripod stand would tip even when I was working on Schwinn lightweights.

It wouldn’t get tipsy if you took a wheel off? I’ve got my eyes set on one just like yours.

The only reason that you know it's heavy is because your wife told you so. Would have been nice if you gave your wife some help getting it up there.

If you ever see an old Park stand with the iron plate for the base. . . buy it. Nothing in your way. You can put a couple of the heaviest bikes on it, or only one bike. The base is heavy, maybe 50 lbs or more. I have a piece of carpet underneath it. It slides around on the floor if I have to move it. The main support post is adjustable and rotates. You can pick these up used for $200 or less........is that my book, The Preppers underneath it? I was wondering where I left it.

Fwiw, I picked up a portable 4-2. I found a lbs that was willing to negotiate a package deal for a stand, tray and collar. In the end I needed it light enough to be able to move around on the fly but sturdy enough to handle a tank bike with ease.

My workshop is getting a complete makeover. I’ve effectively doubled the size. I made a custom 2 x 8 work bench with shelves installed underneath and on the side. Lighting was redone.
So far I’m happy with a portable stand. I’m constantly moving it around since the area is in disarray.
I like a custom setup rather than the pics you see on Instagram where they threw $5000 worth of crap bought on Amazon.
