Recommendations for a workstand please

[Browser]

As I am (checks left and right quickly, whispers) forty in August I have asked for a cycle work stand as I find maintaining the bikes in our house so much easier when slung on one. We recently bought a Fatspanner Bike Stand , also see here , for work as we have two works bikes to religiously maintain (it's amazing what we can get away with sometimes ) and I was all set to get one as it seemed fantastic value for the price. Having used it, however Ive found that the cam-operated tube clamp can't set the to both clear the frame tube when open and clamp it securely when closed.
Does anyone have a workstand, preferably around £150 or less, whcih they would recommend as I was a good one but am not looking to set myself up as a roving bike spannerman!

I have had a Topeak Prepstand for years and think it is great.

Tacx cyle motion workstand ?

Pros and cons ?
Very heavy duty, you can remove cranks etc on it, the bikes held rock solid on the stand, excellent for deep cleaning, setting up etc, the bike just doesnt move around while your working on it. (actually, the BB sits in a cup, it doesn't capture the shell very well so you do get a little sideways movement, but nothing too bad.)
Very well made, i dont think there's any bits on it that'll break or wear out. This one'll last for years.
Fully adjustable for different wheelbases, MTBs, road, hybrid etc.
Tooltray on the side so everythings to hand.
Its just the right height, no stooping down.
Cons ?
Although it folds down, it's a fair size lump to stow away if you're short of space.
You've got to remove the front or rear wheel to mount the bike on the stand.
Can't think of any others.

Very very glad i got mine.

I have one of these http://www.highonbikes.com/fat-spanner-bike-repair-workstand-workshop-folding.html They can be had for about £50 although I find it has the same issue as your work ones

The Park tool PCS9 & 10 are about £100-£130

I have one of these from Decathlon £59.99 and it's very good indeed. Not very portable as it's not designed to be folded or moved, but very solid for home/garage use.
