This CXWXC Bike Repair Stand Takes Some Beating… (my review)

This is the CXWXC bike work stand, which is easy for you to say.

It’s pretty standard in terms of design. Two long legs splay akimbo to provide stability.

The arm at the top has an adjustable clamp to grip whichever part of your bike needs gripping.

It has a handy tray, halfway up, to keep track of tools, components, nuts and bolts as you work on the bike.

I bought it off the back of excellent reviews combined with a visceral desire not to spend the sorts of money charged by brands of a more blue and red persuasion. Not that I’m against a bit of blue for the mums.

And I’ve not been disappointed.

Back To The Post…

The CXWXC stand was easy to assemble. It’s light enough to move around but stable with a bike in traction, as no-one says.

I don’t have an e-bike so I can’t comment on heavier weights, but it’s been comfortable holding all my bikes including my clydesdale hybrid. For completeness, the stated max weight is 60lbs, or 27 kilos, which even my heaviest bike ain’t troubling.

The clamp has a neat design that allows it to rotate to whatever angle you need and then lock into place. The clamp itself, with protective rubbery inserts tightens and loosens as required, with a quick release handle.

My previous work stand, made by Elite, had the bike attach by the drop outs with the bottom bracket rest in this plastic gusset thing on the horizontal bar.

There are pros of that approach – stability and you can spin it around – but I prefer the CXWXC – still easy for you to say. It’s easier to get in, around and under the bottom bracket and generally less in the way.

Talking of which, nice and easy to fold away if space is at a premium.

In terms of accessories, the CXWXC – quicksy? – has the aforementioned tool ‘n’ bits tray, which is magnetised to avoid your nuts popping out. Very useful.

And also a handy rod that attaches to your handlebars to keep them from flapping around.

No nuts, no flaps. The motto of this channel.

Wrap Up

And that’s it, my review of the CXWXC – still easy for you to say – work stand.

A very good stand at a very reasonable price point. Recommended!
