Park Tool PRS-21 Super Lite Team Race Stand Tools
Product DescriptionSame great stability, versatility, and features as the PRS-20 stand, but weighs only 13.5lbs, 35% less than the PRS-20. It's built using the perfect combination of steel for strength in the joints and pivots, and aluminum to shave grams. The PRS-21 is ideal when size and weight are critical -- ideal for the traveling mechanic, or for the mechanic who'll be traveling. And if you buy one, don't neglect to get the Park BAG-20 bag to store the PRS-21 in for transport.

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: May 9, 2012 Strengths: It fills a gap in the workstand line up for a solid stand that allows you to spin the bike around for easy washing...not a big market probably so but I'm glad Park went ahead and filled it. The only other stand that I have had that had similar functionality was my ancient Cinelli chrome steel stand that clamped on the downtube so it didn't really work for modern bikes. The stand is solidly constructed. Folds up fairly compact. Lighter than the PRS-20 which was laughably heavy. Weaknesses: The adjustable bits aren't well thought out, the two screw down devices (one stops the stand from rotating just above the tripod and the other stops the fork end/dropout slider from sliding) don't actuate any type of clamp, they just gouge into the side of a tube. It works ok I guess but not good for longevity and for $250 or more I expect something better than high school metal shop "engineering". The fastex type strap that secures the bike near the bottom bracket is some off-brand that flat out doesn't work or maybe doesn't work when its wet? Not a big deal, this is easily replaced w/a few toestraps daisy chained or a strap from a mountaineering store but again, at $250 maybe some more thought could have gone in to it. The bottom bracket cradle is pretty fragile, my stand fell over and one of the plastic BB "shelves" snapped right off. Park is very good about replacement parts being made available though and I was able to replace it quickly enough.
