Default Buy This Bike Stand or Not?

E-Bay $70 ~ looks to be pretty heavy duty. The only thing that concerns me is the pin size. Thought maybe I could buy a Vortex pin and use that.What do you think; should I buy it or save up and buya brand name? Link

How much is your bike worth to you?

I would look around a bit more. Check some online stores for sales. Even if you cant find a sale somewhere, for another $20 you can get a good namebrand stand that you know will be good.

Did a little investigative work ~ it appears that the stand pictured above is identical to the onemarketed by Bike-Tek called the "series 3". Except that the "bike-tek" is $104 (vs. $70 generic). Bike-Tek seemsto bea popular brand in the UK so it can't be too bad. Also, the stand comes with (5) pin sizes with more available at their website.

I have the same front stand and a rear spool stand from the same company. I havn't had any problems with them. They seem to be fairly sturdy.
