Roberta, I have an older Ultimate/Feedback Pro rack, and I have a friend who has the current Sport model, which is their more affordable version. We've also both used the Park deluxe home stand a fair amount while volunteering at our local bike co-op. The clamp mechanism and adjustability

I have the Feedback Pro-Elite stand. Prior to this I had the original Park home repair stand, the PCS-1 from the early 90's. Prior to that I used Park shop stands working at a bike shop. Accordingly, the shop ones are the best clamps and stability. If I had a home shop I'd buy one, but I don't

The Park is a good value and solid. I have an Ultimate from many years ago -- Resembles the Feedback Sports and folds smaller and is lighter than the Park. But it does cost more. The Feedback tool tray is a significant accessory to add to the package. Being able to change height and rotate your

That Park stand is the standard. I am so cheap, I built and rebuilt bikes for years and years until i got a stand as a present. Life changing. Philip Santa Rosa,CA On Tuesday, January 19, 2021 at 7:26:44 PM UTC-8 campyo...@me.com wrote: > I have a Park Tool stand similar to this one: > > >

Another option to consider: my friend has two rubber coated hooks on ropes dropping from the roof beam which hold the bicycle at the right height and surprisingly securely. Not as secure as a stand, but the rope/hooks were inexpensive, fold completely our of the way when not in use and don't

I have an older version of this stand. It collapses down into a bag so it is easy to store. It is stable and you can definitely clamp the seat post with it. If you have the Grant approved fistful of seat post you may need to raise the saddle a bit to fit the clamp.

Ok, that got your attention. I’m not actually taking a stand so much as BUYING a stand. I have had it with trying to work on a bike on its kickstand. Tonight I tried to put sealant in my tire and the tire deflated and my Clementine tipped over. Hopping mad...that would be an apt description
