Topeak FlashStand Portable Tune Up Stand – Reviews

I live in an apartment and I wanted something to support the bike while I work on the back wheel. This stand seemed like the perfect solution; it was cheaper and smaller than a full size stand.

The biggest problem I have had is that the kickstand mount on my bike does not let the bike rest squarely on the bottom bracket. It pushes it slightly to the side. Not that noticeable until I turned the pedal and found that the other side of the stand is up against the chain ring. The stand was susceptible to tipping over, several times I bumped the bike and had to grab it before it crashed to the floor, but that was to be expected given its small footprint (and the off center alignment from the kickstand didn’t help).

It does hold the bike up when I have to take the rear wheel off. I can turn the pedals if I put the stand on the bottom bracket crooked, and support the bike with my other hand, which was easier than holding the bike up with one hand while I turned the pedal with the othe

I just bought my second stand like this after an old man broke my first one. They are great to take along if you are planning a ride far from home and may need a quick tune up at your campsite. I have used mine countless times, but my first one couldn’t hold up to an old man who didnt know how to use it. Just don’t put too much downward pressure on your bike when it is on the stand or spin the tire excessively fast. Being a portable, folding stand, stress on the hinge can cause it to break pretty quickly, like bending your elbow the direction it isn’t meant to go. I was also able to fix my first one. If you have one and the plastic part of the hinge breaks, just use JB Weld and it will be good as new. Overall a great portable stand, and works flawless when used properly.

I bought this flash stand for my hard tail bike, realize that its plastic material at the bottom bracket support area is quite weak. Upon fitting it up onto my bike, I realize I can actually “bounce” my bicycle like a basketball when gently pressing down onto the saddle. Its quite difficult to fit it up, reason that its fold-able legs and top arm moves around when trying to get it up and standing. The rear wheel ground clearance wasn’t very high, not good enough for me to do maintenance work on my bike as the flash stand will “bounce” when I start to pedal the bike. Very disappointed with Top Peak products, I bought both their flash stand and tune-up dx, and was very disappointed with the design….I support Top Peak a lot, I bought their cycle bags and bicycle pumps which are very good, but it seems that their bike stand wasn’t!!!!! Top Peak, wake up!!!!!

I bought it from a cycling distribution rag even before Al Gore invented the internet. At first I liked it, but it started to bug me after a while. First is that it stands the bike up too high even on it’s lowest setting — the back wheel is several inches up in the air. Not a big deal, but somewhat of a pain. The next issue was when I graduated from my steel frame bikes to carbon, the “cradle” that holds the bottom bracket is just plain not big enough. It allows the BB area of the frame to slip and slide all over. The last thing that really sent it over the edge was the plaastic piece that joins the main body to the single arm that goes around the downtube, split in half. I was just putting a rack on the bike, so it wasn’t like I was really wrenching on it. I called Topeak who is usually excellent in CS, and they said they don’t offer replacement parts for this device. So, I would stay away since the design is a bit old (small tubes), and it could have the tendency like min
