What bike floor stands do you use for your 29er

What make and model floor stand do you use for your 29er.

All my previous bikes have been 26" and this is my 1st 29er. I've heard that the rotor can come into contact with some std stands.

I did see someone recommend a willworx superstand, but one seller says it'll only fit up to 28" tyres.

Surely the disc will be further away from the floor stand?

I think I may have read this wrong as he way be on about the 26". I just thought it was his 29er as that's what I Google searched.

yeah yo uread it wrong, the 26 hit the disc (as I don't think these were designed with discs in mind (ie 10 years or more ago) and he had problems fitting the 29er tyre in the thing... also why does he keep putting them in front first?

If you have Hollotech 2 I'd recommend the AndyStand.

I never even thought about that type of stand although I have seen them. I was just transfixed on a rear wheel stand. I would like one but £40 seems alot especially when I've just bought one of these for my husqvarna.

It makes you wonder if like other hobbies they know people way pay more as there's less that goes in to the cycle stand but costs a lot more.

I know this has money off but I also bought a similar one a few years ago for the same price with free p& p

They are on the prices side but are extremely useful for trail centres where they can be folded up and take up hardly any space.

I do like them and will definitely look into it as an option
