One of the toughest parts of mountain biking is not necessarily the trail on which it is ridden or the style the rider chooses. Keeping the bike in superior condition and repair is essential to the success of any style of mountain biking. Kick-stands are out of the question for repair work and finding the right mountain bike stand with which to hold the bike for work, should be something every cyclist needs to do. Finding the right mountain bike stand may take some time, but there a few things to look for when considering a purchase. Obviously, price will be a major concern, but spending hundreds, and possibly thousands of dollars on a quality mountain bike, anything left over in the budget should be applied to a quality stand. A mountain bike stand should be freestanding, meaning it can stand on its own, under the weight of the bike when attached, without fear it will fall over, regardless of the terrain on which it is used. Many riders carry a foldable mountain bike stand with them for competition and when needed it can be quickly set up beside the car and used to effect repairs. The stands with a tripod stand are the most useful at remaining upright on tough ground.

Look for a mountain bike stand that has a single lever quick release mechanism to hold the bike upright. Gone are the days when a bike was turned upside down to make repairs. With the grip working similar to vice grip pliers they should be easily adjustable to the size of the crossbar and be able to support the weight of the bike. The grip should also have a single, quick release mechanism to make removing the bike easy, no matter how much it weighs. Ideally, the mountain bike stand will be adjustable up and down to make working on the bike more convenient and comfortable. The adjustment should be easy with a single release on a telescoping pole to make moving the bike up and down easy for one person to accomplish. The rider should not have to struggle or ask for help to get the bike to a level at which work can be performed. While many mountain bike stand prices are under $100, a quality stand can cost over $300 and depending on the amount of work a person will do on their bike, the higher priced, better quality mountain bike stand may be a better bargain in the long run.
