The Feedback Sports Sport Mechanic repair stand is set apart from the others by its tripod base, a design based on heavy-duty and portable speaker stands from the music industry. The compact and portable design accommodates almost any frame and its stable platform and durable construction is ready to take your bike maintenance to the next level.Because we engineer our products, we create features with real user benefits. Like the Park, it allows infinite 360-degree rotation, meaning you can secure a bike or any clamped component at any desired angle, which can be highly useful when bleeding disc brakes, threading internal routed cables, or servicing a suspension fork.The tripod base is what really sets the Feedback Sports stand apart. Today, our products are found in over 50 countries around the world, and we’re just getting started. They’re ultralight, compact, and durable design delivers unmatched stability, adjustability and portability. It is marginally slower to use than that of the Park Tool PCS-10, but is also far simpler. Feedback Sports repair stands are the premier portable and home service partner for the most demanding mechanics.
It’s super easy to fold, and even stands up by itself once compacted for easier storage.The legs are 780mm long, and compared to Park Tool’s 850mm legs (measured to the centre column), it leads to noticeably less stability on uneven ground.The Park Tool’s clamp is built tough.X-Tools offers an optional work tray on the cheap (though its mounting method is far more rudimentary), but additional items, or even spare parts, are not readily available.Like Park Tool, Feedback Sports offers a long list of accessories and replacement parts for its stands.
Considered buying this vs the Park Tool PCS-9 and PCS-10. The Pro Elite Bike Repair Stand is the premier portable and home service partner for the most demanding bike mechanics. As a side note, the asking price in Australia is just too high.…but now you have two pieces to carry.The quick-release collars are saved for more expensive stands in the Feedback Sports range. $120.98 - $258.43. It’ll last a lifetime, but the way it folds is far from refined and it’s best used on flat surfaces. And like the Park, the clamp head can be upgraded to that of the Pro Elite. We prioritize designs that make servicing bikes intuitive and enjoyable, like the patented ratchet-action closure and speed-release features of the Pro-Elite Clamp Head.You paid hard-earned money for your bike collection and we’ve got a budget-conscious, yet feature-loaded bike repair stand that’s perfect for the home bike mechanic. You’ll need to remove the clamp head for that…Assuming you consider yourself a cyclist for life, then a repair stand should absolutely be viewed as a worthwhile investment. Our legacy work stands make servicing your bike a process to enjoy. The best clamps are also quick to grab the tube, easy to finely adjust, and hold tight without slipping.Made of sturdy steel tubing and powder coated in Park Tool’s unmistakable blue, the PCS-10 is supremely popular amongst home mechanics. However, I’ve never actually seen this stand sold at its retail price, so one bonus point given to X-Tools there. Add a Tool Tray, Bottle Opener and a Pro Truing Stand for the complete at-home bike shop.
