I’ve never bought a repair stand before and I’m looking at some park tool bike stands. I saw that they offer the home mechanic’s stand and the team issue one. It’s not easy to see what the main value of upgrading to the more expensive team issue would be for me. Does anyone have an opinion on whethe…

I’ve had two Feedback stands. I can highly recommend them.

I recently bought the one linked below and it’s great. I also picked up the work tray accessory and it’s handy, but (and I bought it second hand off a mate, cheap) I wouldn’t bother TBH - it gets in the way of the cranks if you want to spin them, although I guess I could I could spin it around to so…

I ended up selling it and getting the Park 10.3 Deluxe Home Stand which I love and find it much easier …

You can still wash the bike. If its well made, e.g. dipped then painted, it wont start rusting for a considerable time. Even if its badly made, whilst rust will occur inside the tubes quickly (as they’re unpainted), it will still take a considerable time to become a problem. The main benefit of t…

Park makes good stuff. Had a stand for years. About 5 years ago bought a Feedback Sports stand. I like it even more. I have the pro version of this. I do maintain about 7 bikes. ( wife says HOW MANY???).
