You should have the bike mounted with the legs in either side Not centered Helps in stability a lot…just like the park toolbrbrIf you center it when your bike goes left and right Not how it was designed I get the idea you are trying to accomplish but having one leg centered on weight is hurting your stability brbrOrient the feedback stand the same way the park tool has its legs
Comment from : @swank171

seems like the tripod should have 2 legs in front for more stability but I just bought a used feedback sports stand and have yet to try it Thanks for the demo!
Comment from : @kaput450

4 leg > 3 leg > 2 leg designs stability is always going to be hampered by a triangular supportbrafter all you're working on a bike that's 15-40lbs most of the time 7-20 kilos i didn't do the math, i'm used to metrics and to hell with imperialbrthat's on the low side, not going to matter much, but let's say you're pulling on the bike, doing the bar tape with the stand set the way on the video, one leg under the bike two against the wall, the bike's going to come to you with your pulls remove a wheel, or the fork and the whole thing becomes unbalancedbrbrfor the parkside, these V stands are known to fall off under a breeze any weight shift and the thing will tip over tour de france mechanics usually have a 15mm steel plate on them, that's 5-10kgs of ballast when they arent using workshop stands!brbrIt's kinda idiotic to go weight weenie on one of these, that given there's little advantage gained by using three or even two legs Most of the bulk being the head of the stand, unless you have a side hinge that folds upwards it's going to be cumbersome, and that's THE problem with a bike standbrbrbrin short get the desk mounted parkside bench mount clampbrbrMake your own mount/post out of steel square tube and/or fix it permanently bryou can bolt it onto your trailer hitch, trailer, roof rack; whatever solid surface you want you wont need another one for a lifetime
Comment from : @comethiburs2326

Feedback stand should be spun about 180 degrees, would be more stable that way Still like the park tool better
Comment from : @ShuasiBjorlen

I just got an Unior, a precursor to their Bikegator, on sale, and like the Park stand it's pretty solid It's their manually adjusted version so it takes a bit of adjustment but you can take out the jaw as the rotator is just clamped on so it's not the end of the world I'm pleased so far at least
Comment from : @haraldthi

Yep! Like the fairness of your reviews—sharing the pros and cons Bikes definitely move in odd ways especially the way the handle bars swivel when you don’t want them to when lifting your bike’s frame The weight shifts as you explained when removing say the front wheel In short, bike stands are pretty iffy contraptions especially the ones at a modest cost Getting the right clamping angle and tightening the clamp on the seat post seems sort of manageable maybe more so than other models I’ve seen— as shown on the red stand When we were kids we never had bike repair stands; we just turned our bicycles upside down and went to work in the backyard on the grass or whatever Seems kinda crazy to have as much repair gear as we do nowadays Is it all really necessary? Seems like the more of it you have the more you need Crazy! Why so many mechanical issues? Have a 2019 specialized hybrid probably has eight thousand miles on it Never had a need to repair anything Just tighten the accessories I added here there Only recently started cleaning and lubing the chain Not sure why some cyclists always seem to need to repair their bikes😳
Comment from : @dolittle6781

Do not want a lighter stand that doesn’t work well and tends to be unstable Tripod is not the way to go … seems clear to me Who cares about one be slightly smaller and lighter? Not going to be hiking with a stand!

I didnt realise alan carr was into biking
Comment from : @bongobob7079

No contest - Park wins again! Stability and predictable operation, plus off-set verticality precludes accidental crashes and pedal conflicts Weight isn't as significant factor to me when it compromises, or sacrifices firm control as a penalty The Park model obviously assigned better engineering foresight prior to contracting the build Simply put just better applied physics in the overall final product The lighter unit just came across as 'wonky' and hastily conceived by your very demonstration which was very forthright and fairly presented Park just gets mechanics and their input is evident in every aspect of this product's demonstrationbr Nice Job!br Mike Kirwan - Kenmore, WA
Comment from : @michaelkirwan177

Can you rotate the bike 90 degrees while the clamp is on the seatpost? So that the bike it positioned vertically?
Comment from : @joseph-the-seventh

A bit inaccurate reporting Feedback is 3 legged, and should never mount the bike with one leg pointing forward, 2 at rear of bike, this is a most unstable position The correct way is 2 legs at the front, third leg at the rear
Comment from : @daning9764

Love the comparison!
Comment from : @stevebarbian5080

The legs should be two in front one and back It would be twice as stable if you did so
Comment from : @GlobalOffense

240$ for a bit of steel and plastic
Comment from : @SurvivalSquirrel

No The most stable home bike repair stand is the one in the corner of my kitchen that has not moved even a centimeter in about a decade
Comment from : @nroose

What handlebar holder is that?
Comment from : @reaxions

I went with the Park tool wall mount, hopefully I won't regret it I figured I could make different places to mount it and move it around as needed I wanted something really solid for my 88 pound ebike😀
Comment from : @papablueshirt

FEEDBACK SPORTS sells very sketchy low quality products I am glad I found this video I have the FEEDBACK SPORTS RANGE TORQUE WRENCH AND BIT SET THE QUALITY IS ABYSMAL In addition, it was missing a Torx bit I wrote FEEBACK SPORTS about it and they replied by sending a low-grade short non-kit bit that was not at all the extended bit needed for specific maintenance activities such as Campagnolo shifters FEEDBACK SPORTS should not be in the bicycle business, at least not at an enthusiast level or performance level At best they should be retailing with Walmart, and never with professional bicycle shops
Comment from : @VideoPresence2020

I chose the Park Tool I do not like the small tool tray since I need to fold this stand for RV stowage and having to adjust it each time was a pain Instead, since the stand is steel, I just toss on one of my magnetic parts cups
Comment from : @deanh7190

Great video

Hey! Great video! Super appreciate the comparisons and info!!brWell done!br😃✌️

Easy Parktool 💪
Comment from : @UR_AUTHENTIC

I just got a used Topeak Prepstand Elite which is very similar to that Feedback stand(My assumption is Feedback has just copied the design because I've had a similar Topeak stand about 15 years ago, and I have not seen these Feedback sports stands until recent years My Topeak stand is a lot more stable as well even though it also is a tripod Longer legs will quickly aid in that regard), and I got it only to use for when I am washing my bike It's very cumbersome to wash a bike without a stand, and my main stand is a chonky Unior stand that is mostly made of steel, and I don't want it to rust anytime soon That's why I wanted a stand that at least mostly is aluminum brPark tool stands are too flimsy as a main stand and is mostly steel, so I cannot use that as a washing stand nor do I want it as a main stand brbrMy Unior 1693BQ stand is 80lbs give or take which is why I got it in the first place because I really wanted a solid stand that won't sway all over the place at the slightest contact
Comment from : @a8f235

These are both pretty expensive, so let me offer a really good, much lower cost solution Bike Hand I bought mine years ago and it was $89 I just looked and now they are $110 But these are really good bike stands, super light but very stable and I've never had an issue with it
Comment from : @shepshape2585

It’s my birthday tomorrow and I’m currently sat next to my new 103 but have to wait lol! Just watching videos on it and Even more excited seeing all the great reviews
Comment from : @TheBarnz91

Dude Should have watched your video before getting the Feedback Sports Mine is even worse I think they skipped quality control on the piece I got The thing wobbles more than a circus juggler My €50 5-year old Amazon stand is way more stable I’m putting it back in box and returning right away
Comment from : @EmptyMind469

I had bought the Feedback Pro Elite at REI for $100 off and will be returning it Below it the review that I had wrotebrbrWARNIG This Stand Won't Support 85 pounds!!!brClaiming the ability to support bikes weighing up to 85 pounds, you would think my mid-engine e-bike that weighs less than 48 pounds (with the battery removed), would have no problemsbrbrGetting the jaws to lock to the seat post was an effort, but I was able to do this However, when I tried to raise front or rear wheels up by a few degrees, gravity was too much and the head slipped Let me add, I twisted the looking piece with all of my might as tight as I could make it The irony, with 37 pounds under the weight limitations, this stand was overwhelmedbrbrI contacted customer support The agent claims the support is only up to 75 pounds and not designed for e-bikes brWhy leave out this all important deal breaking info?brbrI will say there are things to like No assembly Stores very compact Lightweight Its good looking with a nice fit and finishbrbrI'm thinking bikes weighing at 25 pounds or less this would be a good repair stand However, If you have a heavier bike, this repair stand is not a good choice
Comment from : @ilovephotography1254

Excellent review … For either of these but would it help to clamp the bike top tube going across not the bike post to make it easier to balance the weight … I have a 60lb e-bike … thanks
Comment from : @FrugalInventor

I need one to fix my bike
Comment from : @edselbobpacer

Nothing more useful than a big red button that drops your bike on the floor I guess it's there just in case the stand didn't tip over already
Comment from : @pooofykittens

Because of the tipping problem and you have always to re-adjust the clamp of the Feedback Sports Pro Elite I totally prefer the Park PCS 103 The Park is unbelievable awesome, its still the best and I payed only 215 Euro
Comment from : @randolfrothfuss8012

II chose to purchase the Park Tool PCS-4-2 deluxe home mechanic bicycle repair stand back in September I use it for my '06 Trek Multitrack 7500 The stand is very stable and easily holds my 33-1⁄4 Lb bike very nicely My stand and other Park Tools and The Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair have been great additions
Comment from : @MoparDan

Bike Hand bike stand fairly inexpensive and very good
Comment from : @GokkunGuru

An excellent review Special award goes to the Post Modern bombed out concrete appartement lookbrbrDo you think the Park Tool stand (or any non bike shop stand) is really is able to deal with modern E-Bikes around 25kg? 60lbs or sobrbrThanks
Comment from : @newbeginnings8566

Does it come with the tools?
Comment from : @gonzaleznadia2

One big difference with the Feedback is that you have to re-adjust the clamp bevery time/b you remove and re-mount the bike With the Park, the clamp is set for whatever post width you last used
Comment from : @alexdi1367

Great video on the two most popular stands out there I had the previous version of the PCS 10 and used the hell out of it for years It finally rusted and became a chore to set up after I had run over the legs a few times with the cars I finally sold it a few months ago and bought the Feedback Pro It's light, a snap to set up, and I dig the panic button design but two real problems for me are the clamp orientation when it comes to aero seat posts and how I constantly struggle with pedal strikes against the center pole due to the vertical orientation The instability is also bothersome but manageable I found if I threw some 10lb ankle weights over two of the rear facing feet it solved that problem I think at this point I'm going back to the Park but I'll probably keep the Feedback Pro for a light, packable stand as mentioned
Comment from : @mcirivello1729

The real test of any stand is to put a 75 lbs ebike on it Otherwise anything works
Comment from : @Zetler

I had the elite pro for one day and returned it Tipped over in multiple orientations My bike is worth way more to me than the rack Got the Park Its Awesome brGreat vid
Comment from : @markusmoses4019

It's weird to see the love for the Feedback Sports Elite HD It's NOT a bad stand at all, but for $330 USD I would expect less wiggle and bounce and less plastic I wasnt expecting to need to tighten the screws on both clamps every time either, but yes, the sag is common with a 30 lbs bike I bought both of these stands at the same time and the Park Tool was the one I stuck with in the end due to stability The PT wasn't perfect either, with a shit ton of rust inside and a fairly low height but I wanted a stand I didn't have to think about The Feedback Sports will travel better but I'm not typically traveling with my stand
Comment from : @TheLeesto

I call BS This Feedback stand totally sucks Won't hold a lightweight MTB worth a crap Complete junk Wish I never bought mine
Comment from : @kirkwilliams4942

I use the park pcs 93 and I have no complaints I honestly think the clap is easier to use than than the one on parks more expensive stands I like it a lot
Comment from : @BrandonMeyer1641

do you have any recommendations for ebike maintenance stands?
Comment from : @timlist4173

LOOK UP (WEST BIKING STAND) It's almost identical to the red stand you got therebrbrExcept it only cost $89!!! Way cheaper and it has a 85 lb weight limit
Comment from : @thefix-itguyreviewer8151

That Feedback Sports Pro Elite, a name that just evokes "compensating", seemed wobbly holding your 30lb bike even after you readjusted and retightened it a half dozen times
Comment from : @RoySATX

I sold the Feedback and got the Park Tool for two main reasons It is very cumbersome to clamp a bike on the top tube/horizontally (which I do all the time as I have no seat post space) and the 3 long legs get in the way The clamp is also slower to tighten than the Park Tool Finally, the Park Tool stand is more stable when you work on the bike
Comment from : @tvsmed

Thanks for the great comparison! I wish you would discuss the height, though The Park 103 has a very low max height, only 57 inches, while the Feedback Sports Pro Elite has a max height of 71 inches Do taller people have a problem using the Park 103? And how stable is the Feedback at maximum height?
Comment from : @papyrifer

Great video and it seriously helped me make my decision
Comment from : @Wyoming_Wild

Really useful, thanks!
Comment from : @lozetchells9164

Feedback Sports stands have flawed design that's not stable and they are way over priced comparing to Bike Hand and Park Tool
Comment from : @georgiaguardian4696

I have a FAT HS ebike that weighs close to 100 lbs with accessories I need something to handle that?

Comment from : @asabovesotabelow

I have the PCS-93, it's great :)
Comment from : @anthonyjordan2922

I think the lighter weight and portability is a moot point you aren't carrying it on your bike Its going in the back of the car or moved around the shed The fact that it has tendency to fall over if you aren't being careful leads me to summize that it's less fit for purpose than the Park Tool
Comment from : @sillytorque

awesome video thanks!
Comment from : @isaacweber8280

Excellent comparison and review I have the Feedback but wish I'd bought the Park Tool instead
Comment from : @bluestraycat

Great review, the Park would work much better due to a heavy tandem How do you like the tear drop shape of the Park vs the round and more versatile tube on the Feedback and older Park tools?
Comment from : @garyleiendecker631

I work for REI and have used the Feedback stands for wrenching at events or when taking a bike outside to wash Great stands But when it came to buying a stand to work on my bikes at home, I chose the Park 102, which is the earlier iteration of the 103 and, as far as I can tell, identicalbrI prefer the Park for all the reasons spoken to in the video There's one additional reason too I have a 275 Plus hardtail with a dropper seatpost The bike is pushing 30 lbs and I don't like clamping it in the stand via the dropper post stanchion I prefer to clamp it in the stand by balancing the bike with the clamp horizontal, by the top tubebrThe Park, because you can rotate the head so the clamp is in a horizontal position, and because when doing so the lower part of the clamp acts like a pretty good rest/support (not true of the Feedback stand due to the clamp proper positioning It clamps from the sides so doesn't support the bike resting on the clamp like the Park)brDo to the fact the Park clamp supports the bike via the top tube well, you can move the bike till it's perfectly balanced, so there's no need to put much force at all on the clamp, if you're worried about damaging your tubing Just a little bit Enough for some frictional resistancebrIn fact, I like this method of clamping so well, I often use it instead of the seatpost method because you don't have to go through the clamp gymnastics while holding the bike upbrI know carbon fiber frame owners may cringe I don't own any CF bikes, just metalbrKey point: Use very light pressure on the top tube when clamped this way The perfectly balanced bike and good support from the Park clamp go a long way towards keeping the bike in place Just a wee bit 'o tight on the TT
Comment from : @MrGND123

A video I can use! Thanks
Comment from : @danmitchell3758

Flip the clamp around so the bike moves rearward in relationship to the stand it will be more stable also I liked my park tool stand but love my feedback sports Cheers!
Comment from : @frankkollar2278

Thx for the review Seems like a strange place for a review a kind of criminal hang-out buildinghaha
Comment from : @Ataraxist

Great Review, I use the Park Tool 102 🇺🇸
Comment from : @gunny6517

I realize that everyone doesn't have the same equipment and skill set But I wasn't able to find a stand that was truly stable, or that I wanted to spend that kind of money on So I built my own
Comment from : @TheTrakker

I'm surprised this comparison was done using the PCS 103 instead of the aluminum PRS-25 Would have been more of an "apples to apples" comparison I know I'm trying to decide between the PRS-25 and the Feedback Pro Elite
Comment from : @mikewasserburger9662

Very good, clear and thorough analysis Thank you for this
Comment from : @jybritt

I have a cheapo Cycle Pro Mechanic Stand from Amazon Very similar to the PT stand but a lot cheaper It does the trick without breaking the bankbrbrI store it by hanging it from one of the rafters in the garage by using the clamp section as a hook
Comment from : @1965zimmy

what about an ebike, the weight something around 23kg : )
Comment from : @suppermanzzzz291

Very nice Thanks
Comment from : @marcustan5868

I have a makeshift bike stand in the garage using a big storage hook It has its limitations Now off to go bike stand window shopping!
Comment from : @joeumbrell8774

I've had the Park Professional shop stand for over 30 years, with a cast iron base that's so heavy I can barely lift it Unbelievably expensive, but unbelievably good! I would say that unless portability is important to you, go for a proper workshop stand rather than a folding one
Comment from : @joules531

For home shop stand that will last decades go with a Park Tool If you travel a lot and need to work on your bike on the road, get a feedback sports
Comment from : @jltrack

Thank you Very informative 🙏
Comment from : @thomasbudi2000

Nice vid Thanks
Comment from : @howesfull8

I have a much older (12 years) version of the Park stand - believe me, the new version looks much easier to assemble and store! Mine is a pain to set up but, once up, is super stable and, if it eventually wears out, I will buy the newer version
Comment from : @donnyo65

i dont have a stand, but i'd go for the park stand all day, thanks man
Comment from : @reeceholmes8546

I originally had the Park Tool stand but now have the Feedback one which I generally prefer - it’s easier to use and lighter not as cumbersome as the Park Tool one - but both are great stands
Comment from : @TheDominic65

I have the aluminum Team Issue Repair Stand from Park Tools Its the PRS-25 More comparable to the Feedback Sports Stand in terms of portability, weight and price, but with a more stable three-point leg system similar to the steel Park design One benefit of the PRS-25 leg folding design over the PCS-103 is that the legs fold up completely against the main leg Highly recommend the PRS-25 to anyone who is only going to own a single stand

Comment from : @justdude8115

One of th best bike tool investments I made was my Magura folding bike stand I bought about 20yrs ago Unfortunately, they don't make it anymore but the Park's foldable stand looks to be close in proximity to what I have It's pretty stable, lightweight and very capable of holding any of the bikes in my stable or my daughter's 14" one speed Get a bike stand folks "No ragrets!"

Those look awful to deal with, you should upgrade to one that isn't that travel style Find one that you just put the bottom bracket on in the "U" shape They have one arm that shoots up diagonally, theyt have a clamp for the downtube and 2 flat arms that rotate out to hold the front tire They never tip, lower center of grAvity and you don't have to lift the bike as high and fiddle a stupid clamp with one hand

Ive got the Park pcs 103, added the tool tray and paper towel holder It feels very PRO to have a nice stand and tool tray I’ve never used the feedback but can say that the park stand is really excellent and can hold my girls eBike that weighs over 50 pounds It’s rated for up to 80
Comment from : @bmpcab

I have a red shift suspension post on my gravel bike and I have a very old park repair stand With the suspension on the seat post I can't figure out how to clamp the bike in the stand (the clamp is too big to fit on the small straight area of the post Any suggestions? You used to use the red shift posts I think
