Bike Repair Stand Shootout: Park Tool Vs. Feedback | Gear Reviews

If you consider yourself a cyclist of any stripe—road, gravel, or mountain—you should absolutely, positively own a home repair stand. It’s as essential as a pump or a pair of clipless pedals, and the Park Tool PCS-10 and Feedback Sports Pro Mechanic Stand are two of our favorites. Join our old pal Andy Clark as he explains why repair stands are a must-have in your garage or workshop.

Geed back stands are the best, I have 2 of them based on what I plan to do

I have the top-of-the-line HD for feedback pro and it does not wobble. It is very solid very high-quality. There is an ultralight edition which is designed to be ultralight. The Park tool to me looks very cheap.

I like my park 10.3 not only do i use it for my giant revel mb but I also use it for my echo 225 weedeater as well👍

The Park Tool stand can hold a Rad e-bike, which is pretty dang heavy, without bending or falling over. I seriously doubt the Feedback can do that since the legs don’t expand that far out.

A big plus-one on using the stand for pre-ride prep! I always do this now. However I have found that the clamp design of my stand is much less of an issue now that I got the Silca Hirobel frame clamp, as the stand clamp is now permanently clamped to the Hirobel. I always found clamping the seat post to be a bit fussy on some of my bikes. And the Hirobel means the frame can be supported at the strongest points of the frame.

so the $495 dollar stand ( the Pro Mechanic HD version is what's shown on video) was better than the $255 dollar strand ?

Great high quality review thanks folks. I have one subsidiary question, I'm an older rider with a step thru rad power (replacement knee restricted articulation). I would like a stand that enables me to manually get some assistance by clamping when on the ground and then manual crank it up to the height I need to work. Do either of these (or others) do this? Much appreciate your expert views

Feedback stands can't take aero seatpost, while the park tool one take anything and this is a big problem...
