Reviews
This is a replacement for another brand of repair stand. This design folds up and down in seconds and doesn't pinch your fingers or defies your attempts to collapse the unit for storage. It is also much lighter and easier to move around and stores in a smaller space. The stand is also much more stable in use than the brand it replaced.
This stand works well. Adjusting the height and pitch of my bike is easily accomplished. The tripod legs keep it very stable. The only thing I have had to watch out for is catching my foot on one of the three legs.
The clamp wont blow your mind, but you have good control of the tension. When you have the legs to the left and right of you, so you're not standing on them, you will find that your front tire will rest on a leg instead of the floor like I would like it to. This is my biggest gripe, but its more related to how I use the product as opposed to the product itself.
I have wanted a repair stand for awhile but all the ones I liked with these features and still being compact to fit in my garage were always overpriced, but not this one .Now, I am able to take care of almost all of my own maintenance and repairs. This stand is definitely already paying for itself.
I previously owned a Northern Tool workstand for almost 18 months before finally deciding to splurge on a 'nicer' workstand.
The Feedback Sport-Mechanic is a very well built, no sharp edges or burrs. Has held my bikes extremely securely while I've worked with them. I like how easily it can be dismantledfolded up.
The only negative I can think of is that the barrel adjuster, controling the rotation of the main arm, needs a bit of effort to prevent your bike from tilting down.
This stand holds my bike off the ground and steady for maintainance and minor repairs. I lube the chain now before every ride since it is so easy. This has improved my shifting. Storage is also easier since I can use the stand to get my bike off the ground. Nothing negitive has surfaced. Wish I had bought it sooner.
picked up this stand based on other reviews. Can't be happier with the purchase. Takes less than 60 seconds to get the legs stretched and extended. And then another 60 seconds to clamp the bike to the mouth. By the way, it shrinks down to a nice clean package for storage. Seems pretty darn sturdy so far. Only complaint would be the spinning action required to clamp. I have seen Park Tool clamps where it's literally a swing on. This one just takes a bit more time to get the bike on.
You know how it is to find that perfect work stand if you do your own wrenching! I have have several over the years and each have their good points. Some were better overall than others. I currently had a Spin Doctor stand that the bike's BB rest on cradle. It was cheap and worked. But I found that with my bike and the bottle cage and my full suspension bike the stand would not work. So I set out to find a stand that had alot of versatility where to clamp the bike and was built like a tank. Well, this stand was it and it did not break the bank like some which near $300! This stand is very sturdy with it's wide leg platform and the head and locking mechanism is not chintsy like some stands. It also folds together to conserve room which is a plus. I bought this stand when there was a 15% off deal and it was well worth it. This stand if your on a budget or just want to get something great and save money for biking is the ticket. I just need the optional tool tray!
I have had many stands in my life for wrenching my bikes. This stand provides a better and quicker mounting of the bike for getting to business. My one main complaint and I knew this going into the purchase from other reviews is the clamp jaws recess where the jaws are secured and can be replaced, can scratch a frame if too much force/pressure is applied. Feedback Sports could easily fix this with the small rectangular like raised areas on each jaw by making them simply 1/16th to 1/8th inch protruded for that buffer zone to protect frames like carbon and painted top tubes of other materials used on bikes. It is really a simple cheap fix if they would just do it. How I simply defeated it was to always use a micro-fiber towel to place in the jaws that will make contact with my carbon frame to keep any small mishaps from happening. Overall, a very stable and nice work stand whether on a budget or you don't see a need in spending $300-$400 on a work stand as that is quite simply insane! But to each their own! That is the reason I gave it 4-stars as to value rating.
I have been riding a bicycle for most of my life (72 yr old). I am not good at doing maintenance with a bike on the ground. I would have purchased one of these years ago if I knew it would make it that much easier. I hope I can ride for several more years & do my own maintenance.
