Park Tool PCS-10 Home Mechanic Repair Stand

I was hesitant to order this at first because Park Tool makes several other stands which are more expensive , but I am pleasantly surprised . It is really pretty heavy duty and in no way feels flimsy. Keep in mind that it is meant to be a mobile piece so will not feel like the bolted to the floor models in most bike shops but for my purposes minor repairs,adjustments,lube and tire changes this will be perfect.

Between all family members we have 14 bikes, this has cut our work to a minimum, with being able to get the bike off the ground and to a comforatble working heigth, whether standing or sitting on a stool.

The better clamp is a PLUS over the PCS-9 model. Well worth the additional $$

The PCS-10 is my first repair stand I've had a home so I don't have much to compare it to. It was very easy to put together out of the box. I have two very different road bikes-a late model carbon racing bike, and a 10 year old aluminum bike-with very differently shaped top-tubes and seat posts, but the stand works well with both of them. All good so far!

I needed a stand to work on my mountain bike, I knew Parks products are good, but, didn't know which one to go with . . .

picked the PCS-10, ship time was great! And when I got it . . .WOW, what a deal, very strong and solid, so glad I got this,

makes working on my bike a joy! I don't think I will never need another work stand!

This bike stand provides the sturdiness of a professional stand at a more responsible price for someone who is only maintaining their own bikes.

Excellent stand that provides a sturdy base. My only complaint would be that it is not recommended that you clamp to carbon frame. I knew this when purchasing so there is no need to deduct any stars for this. I also was hesitant to clamp to the carbon seat post so I purchased a cheap one that I use for repairs. I read this recommendation on another review. I did have some problems getting the tubes disassembled after shipment, but Bike Tires Direct was extremely helpful via email and multiple phone calls. I was impressed with their level of follow up.
