Great Job! New enthusiasts are often confused on which stand and why. This will surely help them pick the right one.

I love my PRS-25. It's so convenient to use and the quality of it is above reproach. Thank you Park Tool for providing us bike enthusiasts such great and well thought out and designed products.

So here's the deal, I cobbled together my stand with a PRS-6 and a 100-9c adjustable linkage clamp I prefer the adjustable linkage. This combo is a little too short so I have mounted it on a wood box about 9 inches tall. It works fine but a better combination for me would be my PCS10-2 with an adjustable linkage clamp. None of the adjustable linkage clamps fit this steel head unit. I am not a fan of the composite plastic head units, they will fail with time but will out live me. My PCS 10-2 is folded and awaits the next time I need two stands at the same time but please make an adjustable linkage clamp to fit it and I will buy it. Thanks for the vids, I've learned a lot and Calvin's humor is awesome. Keep up the good work.

I am a shorter mechanic - often use the pcs-9.3 near the lowest setting of about 40". I am looking for the most durable repair stand that is free standing and is height adjustable to be short like me. I liked the pcs-4.2 until i saw the minimum height is near the maximum of the stand i currently use, which i dont even think i could reach lol. Maybe i will just get the pcs-4.2 and cut the tubes shorter to get the ideal minimum height for me. any thoughts on that? is there a sturdier free standing repair stand?

@kipphawley4514 Жыл бұрын

You guys should try to have a segment on what years of bikes are capable of having some upgrades parts. Like for Example if you get or find an abandoned 1960s or 1970s, 10 speed is in good condition for restoration. What upgrades parts can that type of year of the 10 speed can have. As where are you only used 1970s parts for a 1960s 10, speed or can you use a newer version from the 80s version parts or what type of product are you able to use.

Park Tool's clamp-style workstands easily clamp almost any seatpost shape, round, bladed, Kammtail and anything in between as they clamp front and back. Feedback's clamps sideways, so it's only good for round seatposts.

Some mechanics don't need some extra features other mechanics would want. For example, the average home mechanic would be OK without the micro-adjust clamp found on the PCS-10.3, so the PCS-9.3 would suffice. Shop mechanics will appreciate it for allowing them to mount and remove bikes fast. Race mechanics that travel frequently will appreciate the light weight of the PRS-25.

@Waremonger Жыл бұрын

I have the Bike Hand stand and it is a great value. Unfortunately the clamp mechanism is nowhere near as sturdy as Park Tools. At some point the plastic teeth on the poorly designed clamp are going to brake and I suppose at that point I'll have to buy a PT 10.3.
