i am trying to start up a bike detailing business and i thought this would be a big help. it is more than a big help!!! it is a bit on the heavy side but who doesn't need a little upper body work! i like the way it folds down quite compact for transporting and easily stores in a corner of my bike room. the pcs-10 upgraded clamp is by far worth the upgrade in price. the stand holds any bike with ease and with confidence that it will not hop off. the build of the stand is the usual park tool high quality. i looked high and low for a better price but westernbikeworks.com always comes through with the best price, quality customer service and secure rapid shipping.
This tire lever really is the only tool that works for me on my tubeless ready rims that I'm still running with tubes. Tires that were previously nearly impossible to mount for me now find their place with the aid of this tool. Honestly, I had been stuck roadside for a good half-hour wrestling tires off and back onto my wheels before I got this lever (never had such difficulty before the tubeless ready wheels, seems to be something about the deep middle channel that makes a standard tube replacement difficult). The process was transformed from hellacious to possible thanks to this design. Highly recommended to anyone riding tubes on tubeless-ready rims.
With 2-way fit rims, I always struggled to install new tires. Occasionally, I would pinch the new tube and have to remove and reinstall the tire. Since I got the Kool Stop Tire Bead Jack I have not had any problems - installation is now relatively easy. One of my best purchases.
