Adam?........don't you mean Alan?........ ABBA stand will last a lifetime if not abused.....and, as JRH says, you can just buy different adapters when you change bikes...... As Arwen and Hoggs say, buy a decent chain and sprocket set......and possibly a Scottoiler too, as I suspect your current chains premature demise was probably due to lack of maintenance before you got the bike...... A cheap angle grinder makes a good chain splitter..... See if Halfords have any deals on for their pro socket sets at the moment......they're good kit..... Changing the chain and sprockets is not a difficult job to do.......and we're here for advice if you need it......
