Feedback Sports Sport-Mechanic Stand Tools
Product DescriptionRide your new bike long enough and at some point you'll likely develop a curiosity for how to fix it. But if you've ever tried to repair or maintain your bike while it leans against a wall, you know how frustrating it can be. A reliable work stand is the foundation of any home repair station, and the Feedback Sports Sport-Mechanic Work Stand offers aspiring home mechanics a durable blend of function and value.With a dependable tripod leg configuration that holds up to 65 pounds, the Sport-Mechanic Work Stand remains stable on flat or uneven surfaces thanks to grip-enhancing two-point contact rubber foot caps and has an adjustable work height of 42 to 65 inches. The Feedback Sports Sport-Mechanic Work Stand features a durable spinner-knob clamp that securely holds the bike in position. Feedback Sports integrated a clutch into the assembly that allows for 360 degree rotation without re-adjusting the bike. It also folds down easily into a compact unit weighing only 12.6 pounds. Stash it in a closet, in the corner of your garage, or even in the trunk of your car for race days and group rides -- it?s road-worthy and easy to set-up and tear-down without tools.

from Tennessee Date Reviewed: February 19, 2011 Strengths: I looked at many different stands that cost less than $150 including Park Tool, Sette, and others. This was actually the last one I found, but liked it the most for several reasons. -The tripod base: The tripod base is much more stable than the type with only two legs. This thing has a huge footprint, keeping it very stable. -Adjust-ability: Has a wide range of heights you can choose from; from down low all the way the where the bottom bracket sits up to chest height. -Quality design: The overall design is quality built. From the thick aluminum tubes to the heavy duty screw type clamp. It feels very solid and will be able to take some good wrenching. I feels as though it will have not problem holding the bike still even for bottom bracket bearing service/removal. -Looks great: I know it is just black, but for some reason this stand is visually attractive to me. -Ease of use: This stand is real easy to unfold and get upright and ready for the bike. Once up the clamp collars hold everything in place. It fold up relatively small, but it is actually bigger than what the picture lead me to believe. (the bike stand in general) Weaknesses: None I can think of. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $140.00 Purchased At: Amazon Bike Setup: Kona Dawg Deluxe. About stock weight.

from mt. hope, wv USA Date Reviewed: January 26, 2008 Strengths: so sturdy...big fat aluminum bars it is identical to the pro but just cheaper. On my old stand I had to clamp onto the seatpost & i actually bent a seat post on my bike from clamping onto it, on this stand you don't have to worry about that.The clamp on this stand is sick you can clamp on the top tube which is great if you have cable routing down the top or bottom of your top tube. my rocky mtn. is almost 30 lbs & it holds it like a rock. it fold down to almost nothing & has adjustable height, rotation of the head & everything. its also cheaper than pretty much anything else worth buying. Weaknesses: none yet. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: yes Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $139.00 Similar Products Used: some peice of junk from universal cycles
