Lifeline Spin Doctor

BikeRadar verdict

35 out of 5 stars

"Budget unit that’s basic in performance but fine for home use"

By Russell Burton

The Lifeline Spin Doctor workstand folds flat into a good compact length, but the lack of a carry bag and the slightly wobbly nature of the V-shape footprint on uneven ground means this is one we’d rather keep for home use.

We were happy to see a workstand coming in under the £100 mark, but we did find we had to make compromises for this low price related to ease of use and quality of components. 

The quick-release style clamp adjustment was hard to get tight, and opening out the legs proved to be a tussle.

However, if you don’t need a stand that will sit on an uneven surface in a 24-hour race pit, and you can live with the faff factor of the clamp in exchange for the money-saving benefits, then the Lifeline does the job.

    This stand was bought for me as a present a couple of years ago - much as the review says it's great for home use which is what I wanted it for.. I find it really easy to use and it's certainly lasted well for me.. the only issue I've had with it is the rubber clamp pads slide out a bit easily.. but securing them in with a couple of old Lizard Skins headset seals did the trick.. I've been pleased with it's performace and my lack of lusting after a new stand tells me it's the one for me!
