The Portland Bike Stand was created for YOU

Hello! My name is Kevin Schmidt, a Physical Therapist, Bike Fitter and founder of one the very first bike-centric PT offices in the US, called Pedal PT in Portland, Oregon. Our office is located on one of the busiest bike boulevards in the US that sees an average of 4-6 thousand bike trips every day!

Since 2012, our office has seen thousands of cyclists of all levels, and our biggest challenge initially was getting unique and bigger bikes installed on our stationary trainer for BikeFitting, and so we tried EVERYTHING!

We needed a wheel-on bike trainer that could just simply do it all: All wheels. All axles, big or small. All tire sizes. A massive weight tolerance to hold heavier e-bikes, and bigger riders.

Seven years since the initial prototype, and testing on 5000+ BikeFit visits, we recently scored full manufacturing thanks to Onyx Racing Components at their state-of-the-art facility in St. Cloud, Minnesota with a Lifetime Guarantee and 100% Replaceable Parts

FAQs

Who uses The Portland Bike Stand?

  1. Professional Bike Fitters use The Portland Bike Stand to help a much wider and diverse range of riders and bikes in their studio 
  2. Larger Riders Seeking a sturdy, reliable trainer with bigger framed bikes, or for riders that have multiple bikes, and want to use one trainer for all of the bikes.
  3. Bike Shops use The Portland to quickly + easily swap out bikes for customers for sizing or styles of bikes.

How do I install my bike(s) on Portland Bike Stand?

Using a trainer thru-axle (or quick release) skewer specific to your bike style, simply connect the two ends to the brass fittings of the PBS as you turn the axle to compress the axle ends —No need to over tighten, as our proprietary axle design locks in place once compression is applied. So simple and easy to use!

What is the largest wheel / tire setup The Portland Bike Stand will accept?

A 29” wheel with 3.5” tire is confirmed, and with the height-adjustability of the rear legs, will likely take up to a 4” x 29" tire. The Portland Bike Stand has an axle range of roughly 11 inches, so it will fit large 5” Fat Bike tires. However, the resistance unit itself usually tops out about 3”

How much space should I dedicate in my gym/studio to use the PBS with my bike?

The unit’s footprint is 80cm x 68cm, so a floor or space size recommended be minimum 3.5 feet x 7feet

Can I put an e-Bike on The Portland Bike Stand?

Absolutely. Most e-bikes fit on the trainer, and it is built to tolerate over 500 lbs! Note: For e-bikes with 20” wheels, the resistance unit will not reach the tire, thus an adapter / modification will be needed to effectively use resistance on smaller wheel bikes. The smallest wheel that reaches the resistance unit is confirmed at 26”.  

What resistance unit d you recommend with The Portland Bike Stand?

Currently, the Kurt Kinetic road machine units mount easily on our universal mounting bracket, which measures 85mm where the unit attaches to the PBS. Always check this is the version with 85mm mount-- we often can find these for you upon request, so please reach out if you have questions!

How much does The Portland Bike Stand weigh?

Without a resistance unit installed, it weighs roughly 42 lbs.

  • Proprietary Locking Axle Design and Replaceable, Machined Brass Fittings

    The inner-workings of the axles allow the load to be 100% stabilized under load without the need of an external jamb-nut, which has never before been created in the bicycle industry. Brass has increased malleability and low-friction properties that are perfect for contact pints and axle ends. This inherent softness prevents damage or ‘sticking' between bolts and thru axle ends under a compressed load. 

  • The Largest Wheel + Tire Size Clearance Available

    The Portland is the only trainer in existence that can accept up to 29” +3.5”+ tires, and everything smaller diameter 650b, 700c, 26”, you name it. Yep, even Fat Bikes!

  • Stability & Load Capacity up to 500Lbs!

    Did you know that ALL available trainers on the market today top out at max weight capacity of 225-250 Lbs?

    The Portland is USA-made and over-built on purpose to tolerate weight capacity of 500LBs+ with a massive stable footprint: this allows The Portland to hold an E-bike or CargoBike/Bakfeit, and the wide footprint base makes it nearly impossible to tip over with full efforts or with larger/taller riders.

Testimonials

I’ve been using The Portland Bike Stand in my fitting studios since 2019. 

The stand is sturdy, good looking and very well made.  It provides a more secure platform that is safer for my clients when getting on and off the bike and is easier for me to use.

Whether I'm working with road bikes, TT bikes, gravel, commuter, full-suspension mountain bikes, fat bikes, tandems, recumbents, or e-assist, I prefer to use the Portland Bike Stand.

The Portland is more robust than any other trainer platform on the market. Most trainers won't last a year in daily, commercial use for bike fitting.

Four years later, my Portland Bike Stands show no signs of wear. I’ve used lots of trainers and platforms in 24 years of bike fitting.  The Portland Bike Stand is my favorite.

Knowing ANY bike that rolls in to my PT/BikeFit studio will fit in The Portland Bike Stand is PRICELESS.  It eliminates the headaches of having to deal with cassettes and shifting issues with the direct drive units — and it's also a massive time-saving advantage!

The Portland has been a game changer. The high weight capacity means that e-bikes and tandems can be mounted with no concern for damage to either the trainer or the bike. Additionally, the ample width accommodates the increased length of fat bike axles. I’ve put hundreds of bikes on my Portland Bike Stand and it still looks brand new. It's a high quality product that has expanded my ability to work with more types of cyclists.
