@HamboCairns the stand looks to be the same one that sells at Aldi during their annual bike stuff sale. Ok at aldi price, but not at amazon price.Do you think this repair stand is decent or should I avoid?

I was also looking at wall mounted stands to reduce the amount of floor space needed. Any thoughts? Park Tools are wildly expensive.
Buy decent tools once and own them forever - I always bought cheap stands - just got a park stand and the difference in quality is massive - wish I had done it earlier.I can't justify spending $400 on a repair stand, that's 8 services at my local bike mechanic.
I have one that looks surprisingly similar. I paid a lot less as it was on clearance, but the rrp was a lot higher.Do you think this repair stand is decent or should I avoid?

Don't. It's a huge pain in the arse compared to a free stand that you can move around and pack away at the end. One of my mates had one in his shed and while the stability was good...it was just frustrating.OK I'll look a bit closer at that one!
Any suggestions for ones that bolt to the wall? Just an arm I mean.
I have four bikes to maintain (oiling chains, adjusting brakes and gears etc), I also have nothing to hang bikes on.I'd not worry about a work stand to start off with - you can do most things without it at first, just more of a pain. It makes life easier in the long run, and is worth having one, but something you want to buy once and get it right imo. Grab a quality one on special or second hand.
I've never put my bike in the stand to lubricate the chain. Also don't oil your bike chain. It will fuck shit up.I have four bikes to maintain (oiling chains, adjusting brakes and gears etc), I also have nothing to hang bikes on.

Why, pray tell? I usually don’t, only coz it’s not on the stand at the time, but if I’ve been working on it, I’ll lube it while on there every time.I've never put my bike in the stand to lubricate the chain. Also don't oil your bike chain. It will fuck shit up.
Ah right, I thought this one you've got in the post was your new one and only, sorry. But I still maintain its worth holding out for a good one.I have four bikes to maintain (oiling chains, adjusting brakes and gears etc), I also have nothing to hang bikes on.
