GRANITE HEX STAND is a sleek, compact foldable bike stand designed exclusively for cycling enthusiasts. The Granite Hex Stand is a light weight and portable device. It weighs only 1.7lb and folds down to the size of a small umbrella. Due to the emphasis on weight saving and foldability, there will be compromise on sturdiness over traditional and much heavier fixed steel bike stands that can weigh up to 18lb and more. "The Hex is never going to be as solid as a proper workshop standard work stand, but for basic maintenance it seems to do the job very nicely. It gets the rear wheel off the ground and allows you to spin your pedals without obstruction – everything you need for setting up gears and brakes and for tuning and adjusting. It’s worth noting that the max weight of the stand rules out heavier downhill or eBikes".......Wideopen Magazine
