I use one of these.

I knew about these. I hoped there was some easy way out. Leaning my bike against the wall is extremely frustrating.
>>
>>936606
what kind of work are you doing on it? sometimes it's easiest to just flip it over so it's on the handlebars/seat, or some bikes you can flip them so the handlebars/hoods are resting on the floor and the seat is up against a wall
>>
>>936607
Just basic work but I dont want to mess my seat up. I remember as a kid doing the bike like that and the seat would eventually get ripped up.

It's a pretty ghetto solution but you can use an ironing board.
>>
>>936601
Jesus Christ that saddle angle
>>
>>936614
no, ghetto is hanging the back of your bike from a door handle by the rack
>>
>>936606
Just spend the money, it pays for itself. Buy this one: >>936605 I've got the same one and it's pretty good.
>>
>>936606
There's never an easy way out. You can buy a real workstand, or you can do ghetto solutions that are frustrating to work with.
>>
>>936606
its a life changer getting a work stand. I have that cheapo one the 2nd poster posted. Holds my heavy DH bike fine.
>>
>>936601
Are you a manlet?
>>
>>936590
I usually flip the bitch, if I need to I'm willing to put it on my car rack.
>>
>>936590
I flip it upside down.
>>
>>936590
I put it on my trainer.
>>
>>936645
no, it's not my stand or bike. you can also extend the stand more and lift the bike further up than in that picture
>>
>>936668
same here, and want to get a proper workstand, so i can easily drop the fork.
>>
>>936658
Used to do that.

Now I found one of those >>936605 for 30 bucks. It's really worth it if you do maintenance/major upgrades often
>>
Work stand is very helpful if you are going to be turning the pedals. Flipping the bike over is less of an option if you have stuff mounted to your handlebars, a good way to scratch up your computer.
