I would think, if you're wanting it to handle torque, you want it up at 'working level', where you can get to it; maybe having the BB at belt-buckle level, perhaps?

IIRC, there are a few bench mounted Park stands here - http://cyclofiend.com/shop/ Others have made good salient points for mounting height. If it's primarily to be the high torque resource, I'd try to approximate the position where you bear down - for me, that's a bit lower than my regular preferred workstand height. - J On Monday, March 4, 2013 7:27:22 AM UTC-8, GeorgeS wrote: My new work shop is coming along and the contractor has started asking me about the interior.

[RBW] Re: Work Shop Advice II
Hmm, interesting quesiton, i've never considered this, but now that you bring it up, not sure about the right answer. my first inclination would be to have it high enough for standing height working of the bike, but high torque situations would need it a little lower. you mentioned a stud, how are you going to get it away from the wall?

Leslie, Very kind of you to say so - I've rearranged a bit recently. I suspect some spring cleaning is in order, too. :) -sv On Mon, Mar 4, 2013 at 11:20 AM, Leslie leslie.bri...@gmail.com wrote: I would think, if you're wanting it to handle torque, you want it up at 'working level', where you can get to it; maybe having the BB at belt-buckle level, perhaps?
