Do these bike floor stands damage wheels?

[Alembicbassman]

Thinking about getting one of these for each of my bikes which all have 700c wheels.

Do they pose a higher risk of warping the rims.

What you mean that wheel bender in the picture

 

[Fab Foodie]

Avoid.

Do wheelbenders bend wheels?

 

[Alembicbassman]

ahh well looks like my bedroom wall is still the safest option

I kind of figured they were crap, but so many bike shops use them.

You need to move that furniture then you can fit a few more in there

You might be interested in this earlier thread Decathlon stand. I keep two bikes on them, standing next to each other. Take up a lot less room than those wheel-benders too.

No they do not bend rims. Most of the bike shops I've ever worked in used them (from Kestrel Engineering) or something similar.

Few things are better than a pair of bum cheeks. Depending on whose they are of course.

Been up over a decade.

Central heating keeps making it peel off

I made this Bike Stand out of some left over door linings, works a treat

And a few more for the family's bikes

If you think that wheels will take riders over 70kg, banked over on a corner, then they're gonna support the weight of the bike itself in a stand
