What do you use for as a bike rack? I am looking recommendation for bike rack(uses the back wheel) that I can use on the floor to check the chains and tire pressure.

I bought something like this - https://www.amazon.com/Bikehand-Moun...s%2C97&sr=8-29

But it tips over to easy...

I have 3 copies of this Delta bike stand: Amazon.com: Delta Cycle Single Bike Stand Floor, Tool-Free Adjustable Bike Floor Stand for Mountain, Fat Tire, Road Bikes, Freestanding Bike Stand For Garage Parking : Tools & Home Improvement



As shown from the third Amazon.com product picture (above), this stand has 4 thumb screws which tighten against the 2 horizontal tubes to fix the positions of the 2 uprights. I drilled 4 holes in the 2 horizontal tubes so that the 4 thumb screws extend into the 2 horizontal tubes when tightened, which makes the stand super stable.

It might not work for you for other reasons, but most would find a work stand to be much more useful for working on bikes.

Maybe something like this?

looks like a Topeak Lineup - or similar (similar stands include Feedback Sports bike stand / RAKK stand, etc)

Sunlite display stand

stand like this could also work - if the downtube diameter is not too large (down near bottom bracket shell)

the plus of this type of stand is the rear wheel is off the ground (which will permit rotation of the crank / rear wheel for application of chain lube, etc)

Commercial Grade Bike Stands & Bike Racks | WillWorx SuperStands would be my choice but for working on a bike I want an actual work stand for that. Squatting down doesn't work for me, bad back and my knees and ankles aren't the best.

My current rack set up is Minoura: DS-4200 | MINOURA JAPAN and an older variant of these: DS-151 | MINOURA JAPAN (3 of them together) and I don't love the DS-4200 if I am being honest it is not always super stable and can be fiddly. Generally once the bike are in there properly they don't move but they don't always like to cooperate.

If I really had the space I think this is what I want: https://www.steadyrack.com. I have some bookcases that are blocking the space I would use and if I could move those I would love to hang stuff and probably use some Willworx stands on the floor or some custom jobbers but that would be more of a dream because I would want some custom rack all nicely painted maybe even titanium just really high end and clean.

I've tried a couple of the small floor stands for minor mechanical things like checking chain stretch and lubing the chain, or pumping tires up. IME, you'll want to put the bike's front wheel into the stand; if you put the back wheel in, the bike is about as stable as Simone Biles doing a handstand on the parallel bars. Bump the bike, the front wheel flops to one side, and the bike dives to the ground. Front wheel is slightly more stable.

Putting the bike into a repair stand to pump the tires? OK, that's possible, but it's like using a Snap-On screwdriver to open a paint can. Takes me longer to get the stand out of storage than to pump up the tires, and then I have to put it away again.

Simply leaning the bike up against a wall or doorframe is plenty adequate for checking the tires and pumping. Just make sure the bike is stable (leaning far enough you won't knock it over!). I actually prefer a wire fence to brack the bike for lubing the chain; chain side away from the fence, saddle braced against a gap in the wire, and you can sit and spin the chain (backward) to your heart's content.

A repair stand does make it easier to pump up tires -- you don't have to crouch down, don't have to pick up one end of the bike to spin the wheel until the valve is at the right position. And it makes it easier to perform myriad other maintenance and repair tasks on a bike. And if you have the space, there is no need to put away the repair stand when it's not in use; mine sits in front of my workbench in the garage. One of my bikes is always hanging from it -- I just rest the saddle over the top of the clamp, rather than clamping it into the jaws.

I realize that some people don't have enough space or money for a repair stand, and hence need other options. But the option is worth mentioning.

I don't argue with the value of a repair stand in general, but I think using one to lube a chain and pump up tires is serious overkill. I haven't cleaned my garage out to the point I have 40-50 square feet of floor space to dedicate to a bike repair stand, so my sequence for using it is:
1. Pull repair stand out
2. Lift bike and secure it in stand
3. Perform "repairs"
4. Grab bike, flip lever, lower bike to ground
5. Put repair stand away

Compare that to:
1. Lean bike against fence
2. Pump and lube
3. Grab bike and go ride

The latter sequence saves time and effort giving me more riding time. YMMV!

Me, I'd rather not work on the Floor.

Why not get a wall mount work stand? or even a wall set of hanger hooks

You don't need lots of space
Bike can hang on it while bike is not in use
Always ready for use.
Work at a comfortable height

Many cheaper ones around from about $20-$25 and up

^^^What they said.^^^

You want the stand that hooks to the chain stay and seat stay:

Thos other ones above all hold the wheel so you can't adjust the gears. I don't like bending down so I made a similar one with a wooden post and 3 hooks. I can put the bike in a low position or a high position with a step stool under the front wheel. A Park stand would work better for cleaning the bike but this works for everything else I need.

Wheelworx Superstand. Offered in a variety of different tire capacities. IMO one of the best parking/display stands. Andy

People, the OP asked for recommendations on a "floor bike rack", so the primary concern was parking, in addition to the stated tasks of checking the chain and tire pressures. A work stand would of course be better for more involved tasks.

Good suggestions, except for any wall hanger hooks that cannot be folded flat against the wall. Someone would walk into them.

This is what I use too, in the house to store my bike. And use for minor repairs. Light, versatile, effective. I have a proper repair stand in the garage for heavier repair work.
