There ya go. Even just to by the clamp and hard ware, that's cheap. A bit more solid steal poles n it'd be an awesome rack.

I got a cheap work stand off eBay, for 40gbp, it's been awesome, slight flex with the dh bike in, but can't fault it for the cash. Sorted.

Pinkbike's Burning Question - Should You Support Your Local Bike Shop or Buy Online?
I support my lbs, to the point that I get a pretty big % off. So it's nearly as cheap as online.
I quite happily support them when I can, but if they can't get me a specific part, I do go online. But ONLY IF THEY CAN'T GET THE PART. Else LBS and businesses are the future.
Parts iv bought online have came and been wrong, or if clothing didn't fit, sending stuff backs a cost and hassle I can't be bothered with. Plus there is no advice or proper 1to1 support online.

The Argument For Short Travel Bikes - Opinion
I started off riding everything on a hardtail, grew super confident on it, then stepped up to a dh bike. As that's the main riding I was doing at the time. I kept the hardtail, and still ride it now and again. Admittedly not as often. But I feel it sped up my learning process.
I'm hardly an expert at any level though.
My 5inch am bike is still awesome but nothing is as fun as my bigrig! Full blast into stuff. Ha.
Totally agree that people should start on shorter travel then move up in travel dependant on tracks. Get the skills then the equipment.
