Anyone got a recommendation for a decent workbench for my triple? Needs to have the bike roll on at ground level then raise it up, and preferably with some kind of brace for front/back wheel.
Just something decent, not for a World Championship bike.
Thanks

It's a great life if you don't weaken. Die strong! Or at least take pride in how you look while unconscious!

Re: Workbench suggestions
I got mine from machine mart about 7 years ago. I can't fault it. Front wheel lock and wide enough to use a rear paddock lift. A rear panel can then be removed to remove the rear wheel.
if you wish to quote me, that's fine. But please use the quote button provided, not a variation of my words.

Re: Workbench suggestions
I have the same bench as Roger - a Clarke bench from Machine Mart.
I got it when they had their Vat free weekend so saved a packet. Would not want to work without one now

Yep, Clarke bench on a Vat free sale day. I went posh with the foot/air operation as I have shot knees, can't fault it. I also bought the over centre wheel clamp, again, excellent. Make sure you get one with a remove able plate for the back wheel, very handy

Re: Workbench suggestions
I got mine from E bay second hand. For the same price as a new Machine Mart one I got a better, stronger, one that had only been used for one bike rebuild so was pretty much as new.

Re: Workbench suggestions
The main thing to consider when choosing a bike ramp is how much space you have available.
