Q: Can I use the Pro Ultralight for service on E-bikes?
A: Yes, you can use the Pro Ultralight for some Ebikes. Keep in mind, it is best suited for lighter weight ebikes 35lbs or less. For the heaviest e-bikes, choose the heavy duty Pro Mechanic HD.
Q: How much does the Pro Ultralight weigh?
A: Pro Ultralight weighs about 10.5 pounds. It’s the lightest weight seatpost-clamp tripod style repair stand that we offer. Combined with the compact size, it’s ideal for travel. It even comes with a protective travel bag.
Q: What types of bikes is the Pro Ultralight compatible with?
A: Pro Ultralight is compatible with road, gravel, mountain, cyclocross, hybrid, and commuter bikes. It supports common frame and seatpost diameters and works with modern materials including aluminum, steel, and carbon fiber when proper clamping practices are followed.
Q: Is it safe to use Pro Ultralight with a carbon frame or seatpost?
A: Yes, when used correctly. Clamp the seatpost whenever possible and avoid over-tightening.
Q: Will the Pro Ultralight clamp scratch my bike?
A: No, the clamp jaw pads are soft rubber and will not scratch your bike or seat post. However, if you clamp a dirty seatpost or frame, the grit on the frame can cause scratching, so be sure the surfaces you are clamping are wiped free of dirt and grit.
Q: What is the maximum bike weight capacity?
A: The maximum weight capacity for Pro Ultralight is 85lbs, including any accessories mounted on the bike. This weight capacity assumes the bike is correctly clamped, the stand is on flat, level ground, and the tripod legs are oriented correctly. To balance light weight and compact size with load capability and stability, Pro Ultralight is optimized for bikes up to 35lbs.
Q: Does the clamp rotate for easier access while working?
A: Yes. The clamp head rotates 360 degrees so you can position the bike for drivetrain service, brake adjustments, and detailed cleaning without repositioning the stand.
Q: Is this repair stand portable?
A: The Pro Ultralight is even more portable than our other repair stands. It folds to a very small size, weighs two pounds less than similar stands, and includes a travel bag. The stand folds quickly for transport and storage. It is designed for home workshops, race events, and travel use.
Q: How small does the stand fold for storage?
A: Folded dimensions are approximately 5″ x 6.5″ x 38″. The compact folded size makes it extra easy to travel with or to store in a garage, vehicle, under a couch, or in the corner of a gear closet.
Q: What is the stand made from?
A: The stand is built from lightweight anodized aluminum for a balance of strength, stability, and minimal weight. Aluminum resists corrosion and can be used in all environments.
Q: Does it require assembly?
A: No assembly is required for the Pro Ultralight. It ships in its travel bag, contained in a fully recyclable carton without any plastic, foam, tape, or staples, and it’s fully assembled and ready to use.
Q: What tube diameters does the clamp support?
A: The clamp supports tube diameters up to 2.6” to accommodate most seatposts and frame tubes.
Q: Can the bike be held by the frame or only the seatpost?
A: Both are possible, but clamping the seatpost is always recommended.
Q: Is it OK to clamp a dropper seatpost?
A: Clamping a dropper post is generally safe if done correctly: fully extend the post, avoid over-tightening, and clamp on the stanchion (upper part) or just below the collar, ideally using a rag to protect the surface.
Q: Are replacement parts available?
A: Yes. Common service and wear parts are available to extend product life.
Q: What warranty is included?
A: This stand is covered by a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use.
Q: How is this stand different from basic repair stands?
A: In so many ways! With aluminum tubing, it’s made to be stable, lighter weight, and stronger. The clamping mechanism is fast, intuitive, and easy to operate. And the quick release fittings make it possible to deploy a folded stand and set up for use in about 10 seconds.
Q: Is this stand better for home use or travel?
A: It is suitable for both. Pro mechanics like this stand for its exceptional portability.
