Super B TB-WS30 professional work stand, orange

Variant Super B TB-WS20 montážny stojan, oranžová

I was looking for an upgrade for my previously sent cheap stand, and the priorities when choosing were stability, strength, practicality.
After much deliberation, I chose this model mainly with the expectation of strength because the clamp is made of steel and of top quality. That clamp is clearly the best quality part of the entire stand. It deserves other components. The stability is excellent, but the flexibility of the stand pipes and especially the PLASTIC connecting parts is huge. A clamped enduro 14kg bike twists the stand behind the seat tube so that the handlebars drop by a good 15cm. It's not a wobble, it's just the flexibility of the parts.
The stand also has a couple of imperfections that could be removed during the design and would significantly improve the rigidity. The axis on which the head of the stand is folded is bent. It is not possible to tighten it more without adjustments, it must be shortened.
The screw of the quick clamp holding the extendable tube is so long that it does not allow to increase the tightening of the clamp and therefore, despite closing the clamp, the entire upper part rotates too easily around the increased tube. Again, it is necessary to shorten the screw, and it would probably help to use carbon paste on the friction joint. I haven't tried it yet because I fold the stand after work and leave it all covered with paste.
All the joints on the legs have minimal play (design intention, for easier folding), but this adds to the flexibility of the system, even when pulled, it does not wobble, it just springs.
The head itself is held in a PLASTIC saddle. The saddle looks strong enough, but nothing restricts the amount of movement in the handle (it is only held by the folding axis and a small plastic nut), there is a visible movement when the head is pulled back. It might be solved by a steel escapement around the entire joint, but that would make folding the stand very complicated.

Overall, I am satisfied with the stand, you get what you pay for. If it didn't have these minor problems, I don't know what would be better on the 500E racks. It is more than enough for regular service, but you can't tighten or loosen the BB on the rack (you'd probably tear off some part of the rack). Also worth mentioning is the dental system of turning the head. It is very well designed, the teeth have an optimal shape and with a little care, it is possible to fold the bike without folding it from the stand. Unfortunately, this mechanism is still plastic, so I'm a little worried about the life of the teeth. All in all, if they replaced everything plastic with duralumin/steel and fixed the specifications dude (cones, for example), then there would be nothing to complain about and the stand could compete with 500E pieces.

I had a stand that didn't suit me. It was complicated to put together and the fastening was solved by pulling the nuts and even then it did not hold reliably.
The person didn't even want to attach a bike to it. He was looking for something more practical.
I looked at several racks in this price range in stores. They often have a clamping part made of plastic.
I have no experience with it, how durable it is, but I still trust the aluminum version more.
This stand is therefore a bit heavier. I read on the manufacturer's website that it should carry 40 kg, I don't believe it at all.
but the mounting design is robust enough that I would not be afraid to mount an ebike there as well.
It's not the cheapest, but the service doesn't suit me in terms of price or time flexibility. I ride almost every day and I don't have time to take the bike to the service.

Plus: The settings are sufficient. It can be rotated in all directions and the attachment is universal. It holds the desired position and does not twist if everything is tightened well.
The clamping can be adjusted comfortably with one hand. The tray is well designed. There is no need to screw anything, it just slides in and holds.
The head can be folded down and after folding the tripod, it takes up about as much space as smaller adult skis, with the fact that it is a little thicker.
For an idea, if someone needs to transport or store it. I have also seen smaller and more compact racks, but they were clumsier.

Minus: Since the tripod is foldable and there is some freedom for manipulation, the structure swings a little in all directions.
The stability is not bad, but you have to play with the position of the legs of the tripod and the bike. In certain places it can tip over if the bike is directed between the legs.

When fully unfolded, the tripod takes up quite a bit of space. If the clamping head and half the length of the bicycle handlebar are added to the stand, it already requires a space of min. 1.5 m to be able to move there.
How much the tripod opens can be adjusted, but this will significantly affect stability.
Attaching to the seatpost takes up less space because the bike can be tilted closer to the rack. However, there is already a limited adjustment of the inclination and it will be all kinds of crooked, which is not a problem at all for some tasks.

I am satisfied with the stand. The clamping mechanism has a wide range of applications. It works robustly and stably. I do not assume that even after long use, it will be necessary to make any structural changes in the attachment of individual parts. I recommend a stand.

clamped to the top tube is stable, I have to clamp the torch to the seatpost, there you have to find the right position of rotation in relation to the legs of the stand, but then the bike works well, for me, satisfaction with the stand.

A bit more expensive than I originally planned to pay for the stand, but it's great.
- teeth against rotation when holding the seat post (does not fall down the front of the bike)
- the head can be folded down
