Rear stand recommendations?

So I searched and got a million results, most not dealing with stands. Any recommendations on stands? Hopefully as cheap and sturdy as possible.

I understand not wanting to break the bank on something like a stand, but it could mean the difference in your bike being supported properly and lying on its side. I've always had very good luck with Pit Bull, though they're not cheap. Matter of fact, I can't remember what I paid...

Don't skimp on this. Being too cheap will put your bike on it's side sooner or later! Spend the extra money and get yourself a pit-bull stand.

My redline stands were cheap and have served me very well for maintenance on the superchicken!

I think I paid $60 for mine for 2 years ago at the stealership. No problems with it and is stable. Says "dmp" on it and "www.dmp-parts.com"

Got a local Cyclegear nearby? The Trackside stands work great. They are definitely cheaper than the Pitbulls.

I also have DMP sets they are well built and affordable compare to PitBull 70/100.

I realy like my Pit Bull rear stand, it does not bend like other stands I've used when you put the bike up. Just wish the SH had a place for spool bobbins.

Another T-Rex fan here - got the front and rear, around $100 for both, no problems so far and they seem solidly built. Someone here onc ecompared them favorably to the Pitbull stands, as far as the construction.

Just looked on their website, and T-rex is selling the front and rear set for $107. Good deal IMO....
