Bike Repair Stand Recommendations (lemmy.sdf.org)

Does anyone have a recommendation for home gamer bike repair stands? I’d like to find an inexpensive one that stows away easily or otherwise doesnt take too much space. Since I only need it maybe once or twice a year I can do without the hard core bike shop level of durability. For my needs it just needs to hold the bike off the floor so I can do derailer adjustments.

rope and tree branch?

Interesting idea, certainly cheaper than a hundred bucks 😊

This inspired me to try hanging the bike from a strap, was able to hook it by the seat and hang from an overhead bar to float the rear wheel. Worked a treat and cost me nothing. I did have to temporarily wire the front wheel to the frame just to keep it straight, no big deal.
