Easy to put together, I like the stability.  Using my old stand in front as well for now.

I found this one today at the nearest bike shop. Yours has the nice extended vertical support, but mine interferes less with fenders, perhaps. At any rate, I bought it for those times that I don't want to hang the bike back up on the wall hooks. 

It's very stable even without using a second stand.

Show holding up the Matthews RBFR with newly installed 42-labeled/39-actual/41-hoped-for-when-all-is-stretched Naches Pass ELs. Ample room (> 1 cm) all around under the fender, tho' I do need to buy more VO struts to cut new ones longer. The NP ELs ride --- well, they don't seem to be slower than the much lighter Elk Passes. Have been able only to ride 12 miles plus short jumps, but hope to ride longer tomorrow.

[Aside: The NPs add 8/10 of an inch to the tire diameter, and boost the gearing from 57-66-74 to 59-68-79. I have a 19 cog on order to replace the 18 on the AM hub, but really, the bike and the tires are so nice that, at least for 12 miles, I found myself easily pushing 79" on the flats, even against slight winds, and up inclines. Realize that this may be "new car smell." More detail than you want, but then, why did you read it?] [Oh, also, traded 2003 Curt Custom 26" road frame for Redline Monocog 29er. All sorts of bike goodies.]

I took it off the other stand and go front first as you did, very stable.  I ordered a second one.  Mine does not have wheels, I can’t tell from your picture if those are wheels.

No wheels, which for me is good. I may buy a second, but will have to check the models; this one can take tires up to 60 mm, but my 60 mm-tire bike has fenders, and I will have to see if the front fender on that bike stops short enough that the wheel will fit. They do make another model for tires up to, what, 3" or so wide, but I don't want one of those.

The one that clamps onto the rear tire I think might.  I don’t use fenders anymore so it is easy.
