Height and rotation are my must haves. by ambrosen (2.00 / 0) #9 Thu Mar 02, 2006 at 11:39:45 AM EST
That is, being able to tilt the bike 'uphill' and 'downhill', and being able to get the bit you want at chest height.

I can't see why you'd want to move the bike towards and away from you. Are you planning on working sitting down?

Also, my real bugbear with my bike stand is that I really need to get something that would hold my handlebars/forks in a straight ahead position while I'm working on it. They really do conspire to turn round and whack you in the head otherwise.

That is a good point, I had always wondered if that'd be a problem. I might just have to rig something up to keep them in a single position.

Rotation is a good idea, I will have to implement that.
