The ACTUAL Best Portable Bike Work Stand

What is the ACTUAL best portable bicycle work stand? In this video Danielle throws off the gloves to crown the king of portable bike work stands. These stands are integral to mobile and race mechanics alike, so here we zoom through the numbers on two of the most popular stands and one will reign supreme (the answer might surprise you!): Park Tool PRS-25 and the Feedback Sports Pro Elite Stand

Thank you for your great video. I was going to purchase the PRS 5 anyway, however you’re convincing video sealed the deal for me. I really loved watching your video setting up the stand, putting your bike in it and taking it down so fast. That was amazing.

I got 2 stands - One solid heavy duty stand(Unior 1693BQ) that are just staying put where I want it. The other stand(Topeak PrepStand Elite) I got only because I wanted a stand to use for everytime I wash my bike(Purchased used for a good price). It is so cumbersome to wash a bike without a stand, and because I wash my bike every single time I've been out(trail riding) it quickly became a hassle to lift up the wheels, and lean the bike into something and so on. It's enough work cleaning everything, so I'd like that third hand.
My main want for this kind of stand was that most of it was aluminum so it won't rust(I want to be able to just spray water everywhere and not have to worry about it), except some bolts that I just occasionally spray with WD40. I don't want to care too much about it given I got a solid one (Unior 1693BQ) for maintenance work that I use for anything but washing my bike.

I guess there are better options for a portable stand, but as long as it will hold my bike while I'm washing it's fine. I do feel the tripod stands may not be the best because of tilt, but it was a matter of most bang for the buck for my washing mayhem and so far it seems fine.

Probably clamp height is one missing category, PRS-25 being 152cm and Pro Elite being 180cm. Also weight capacity for Pro Elite has dropped to 75lb (34kg) from 85lb (38kg)

Great comparison - tackling the important points for a stand.
May be a stupid idea - could you use some thread-locker (Loctite and the likes) on the bolts that come loose?
(I have never seen the Park Tool stand live so have no idea if it's feasible or if it would get in the way of packing & collapsing it)

What was the bike you were working on, it looks super cool.

I have the feedback stand and I’m constantly tripping on that support beam

how do you prevent the had from rotating? if i put bike vertical position and i do anything it just moves back even if i tighten really tight.

I have a cheap stand that worked great until I started working on ebikes.
