I Want A Rear Wheel Holding Stand/Support With Rollers

[reed scott]

I know there is such a thing to turn your bike into a stationary exercise bike but those have to hook up to your axle I believe and I don't want to mess with that. I just want to be able to prop the bike up and be able to turn the crank by hand for chain cleaning and lube. There would have to be some sort of mechanism to hold the bike upright but still let the rear tire turn. Anybody know of such a device?

I have used a bike stand to do this but I have a space problem and don't want to use a stand. Also the device I am imagining would be much easier to put the back wheel on and do the job without having to lift it up on a typical work stand. Any help would be much appreciated.

Not all need to hook up to the axle, but most need the right shape skewer or axle nuts installed on your bike so the clamps grip the axle ends properly. It may just be a standard flat skewer, and many trainers include a new skewer, you just have to spec the right width and diameter. Either way, trainer compatible skewers are like $10 on Amazon. You can usually leave that skewer in permanently so that you just quick-clamp-release into the trainer at will.

An alternate idea for service only, might be a motorcycle service stand. They come with adjustable ends that either cradle the axle nuts, or square brackets that could support the rear chainstays. Just need to find a narrow one that would adjust tightly enough for an ebike, but a dirt bike stand might do it. They roll in place under the bike, and then you 'tip' them like a hand cart to raise the wheel, so it's very easy to do with a heavier ebike.

I have a Park PCS-10 work stand but I also have a space problem. I also don't like having to set up the stand for a simple quick repair. I thought about using something like that posted above but the floor space issue still exists.

It won't work for everyone but I found the Park PRS-4W-2 to be ideal for quick repairs and it uses no floor space at all:

At $234 it isn't cheap but for me, the convenience it offers for working on my 6 bikes makes it worth the cost.

The base bolts to a wall or bench and the clamp removes for storage. I have it bolted to a leg of my workbench. It takes about 10 seconds to slide the clamp into the base, lift one wheel of the bike and clamp it to the downtube. The bike can then be pivoted into any convenient working position.
