Purchasing a similar bike stand...from Bikehand. As for the handlebar stabilizer. The one end goes on the the clamp arm (not the seat post) the other end goes to the bar. To latch it around the handle bar it's easier to wrap the tab around the bar and pull the tab end as it stretches to one of the holes. Repeat the process to attach on the clamp arm. It is very useful to have the handle bar stabilizer...especially when bleeding the brakes.
I have had this stand for going on a year, use it on a variety of projects working on many different bikes and it works as I hoped it would.I try not to be unnecessarily rough with it and so far has shown no sign of breaking or coming apart. Some sort of stand is an absolute must have for anyone wanting to do any amount of work on bikes at all. I chose this one mostly because it was all I could afford.Hopefully it will stand up until I upgrade to something in blue.I really like how it moves from my winter shop in the basement to the garage or back yard in the spring and into my half-ton when going with bike(s)out of town. So far so good preeshate the vid Cheers. Nice bike btw 👍🤙
During initial assembly make sure to use the two same sized allen wrenches to remove the REAR bolt on the clamp support bracket, the CLOSED hole on the clamp goes here. The OPEN notch goes over the skewer. No need to rotate the vertical post.
I bought one about 5 years ago. The plastic tube clamps break. I drilled a hole in the main tube and use a bolt to keep it up. The 2 legs are not as stable as the 3 leg kinds. Its fallen a few times. The bolt for the main clamp pulls thru the plastic. Its ok for a year or two but thats about it.
Glad I could help! Thanks, I do love my bike! It was a demo bike. The bike shop offered to sell it to me and I couldn't refuse! Enjoy the bike stand (if you end up getting it).
Good video. Would like to point out you actually mounted the top bracket backwards. The way you have it in the video you're effectively putting more strain on the bracket because you moved the pivot point away from the vertical pipe and closer to the load (bike). Just my five cents. Thanks for the video.
Well, okay, I guess. I have a similarly designed one and honestly wanted to return it but I kept it past the return date. A very unwieldy contraption; noticed you didn’t show lifting the bike and clamping your bike down in the stand. Gotta have everything lined up otherwise the stand keeps moving away from you. It also seems like you have to hold the bike with one hand/arm and use your other hand to finagle around with the quick release turning and twisting it to get the right opening and tension to close tight enough to hold the bike where you want it. The heavier your bike the more of a pain in the butt it is. I would not recommend any stand setup like this one. Looks cool but the functionality will result in a lot of frustration!
Totally agree with the usefulness (uselessness) of the front lock down. I just use a bungee. Otherwise, it's a decent stand for the money, and I do like the tool tray.
I can't get the back lever and a little thumb activated unlocked mechanism to move whatsoever. You need to use this in order to swivel the clamphead and I can't get the thing to un lock.
It's a Yeti SB6. I'm not sure where you can pick one up in your local area. Yeti should have dealers listed on their website (yeticycles.com). They're awesome bikes! Let me know if you end up getting one!
I don't use it when washing my bike. I just lean my bike agains something when I wash it. I put it in the stand once it's ready to be dried. You're right, it would probably rust.
I have washed on the stand. The stand itself is fine. Only place I've seen rust was from the bolt on the handlebar brace. Now I just make sure I hit it with the leafblower and maybe hit it with some WD-40 before I put it away.
Throw a little bearing grease on that rubber strap it should slide on and off the nub really easy ... If you don't want to use bearing grease try little white petroleum jelly like Vaseline..

Yep, Bikehand. I have that too. Pretty solid.

I've had the same experience with the bike stand. It's held up nicely so far! Glad it's working out for you too! 🙌🤙
im looking for a stand, how is this thing in gripping bmx bikes?

Thanks for making this video, I was on the fence about getting it and it seems pretty good. Also your bike is sick!

I got it a few days ago. Works great.
I have that same stand and I just use a floor stand to lock the front tire. But that is a sweet bike!
Good idea! Thanks man, it's my dream bike. It was originally a demo bike, and I got it for a decent price. Hopefully I never break it🤞😄

It would be difficult to balance my a7pro as it's a step through design, is there a stand for this type of bike ? and it's heavy at 77lbs.

Decent looking bicycle - workshop stand as it securely clamps the frame, as opposed to the seatpost, that some cycle shops use. 💪😮👍
Hey what do you call the little black stand under the rear tire?
Good review bud thank you ❤
Thanks man!! 🤙

Still good?
im wondering the same thing
How much weight dose it hold
Great bike stand for those wanting to work on their carbon fiber pedal bike.
After 5 months of usage how is it holding?
The bike stand is still going strong! For as cheap as it was it's a great stand!
What name brand is that bike? And where can I find it ?
It's a Yeti SB6. I'm not sure where you can pick one up in your local area. Yeti should have dealers listed on their website (yeticycles.com). They're awesome bikes! Let me know if you end up getting one!
Hey, what's the exact model of that Yeti ?
2018 SB6
any updates? still works well?
Still working perfectly!
@@SlightlyRadMTB Good to know, got a gift card for Xmas and need a stand, this fits!
Have you used this to wash your bike? Any parts rusting out?

I miss my sb6😢

Ooh I’ll have to try that! Thanks 👍🙌
Wow bro you're clamping a carbon frame... Use the seatpost!
The frame is mostly sitting on the clamp. There's almost no clamping going on. Good point though, and thanks for looking out!
@@SlightlyRadMTB Yeah maybe I over reacted but I'd hate to see the Yeti get hurt lol 🤘
I have a carbon frame and considering buying this stand. How stable is it when clamping on to the seat post instead of the frame?
I was about to say the same thing, never do that with carbon, even if it’s light.
@@VicSales53 Sorry I didn't see your comment sooner! It's VERY stable when clamping to the seat post. I just prefer resting the frame in the clamp.
