ive heard the ultimate stands are really good and better than any of the lower end park stuff for the money
The Ultimate support stands are really really good. There Elite model I feel is much better then any Park stand. Do to the fact that the tripod base can be setup on just about any surface. The next thing is that the Ultimate stands are super fast to setup and extremely stable. The last thing is the clamps work very slick you simply turn the knob tight and start wrenchen on your bike.

Have you ever considered installing a door on the wall with a support leg or two so you can have a fold down bench that you can use when the car is out?? Just a suggestion. We have all had challenges like this and many, many tiny shops are very functional. Can you run a narrow 12-24" depth bench along a back wall with the car still fitting? If there's a will you will find a way. If you want some more ideas of utilizing space for a small shop PM me as I have had the same challenges in the past. Now I have lots of room but me challenge is keeping it clean and functional.

Good luck.

Agreed! I love my Ultimate stand. It packs away so easily and travels with me everywhere. It hasn't been on a plane yet but it wouldn't be unheard of. I like the fact that they work well to wash your bike with also. They will hold a DH bike upside down no problem. I've had 2 bikes on mine before but I don't suggest it. One in the clamp and the other hanging by the seat from the top of the post. I don't want to plug any shops and violate policy so if you want to have one shipped PM me and I will tell you where I got mine. I have recommended others shop at the same place and they have had nothing but good things to say.

Good luck.
