Very nice compact, portable, and well made bicycle repair stand.

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2015

This is my first (and hopefully only) bike stand I'll ever require. The fit and finish are very nicely done. The red anodized finish on the legs and the telescoping vertical section appear to be of high quality. The included storage bag is fantastic as well. The stand itself is compact and light enough for transport to where ever we may starting our rides from. All the clamps knobs, levers, and ratchets are spot on and easy to use. The clamps are easy to use and adjust. This includes carbon seat posts. (Just follow the instructions.) The predominately aluminum and polymer construction bodes well when using this stand to wash and clean our bicycles. The clamp's mechanical parts work flawlessly. In looking at Feedback Sports website, everything seems to be replaceable in the event of a repair is required. We have found that as a bike's weight approaches 30lbs, the stand's stability is best when the bike clamp isn't raised to the stand's highest length. So far, great bicycle repair stand.

It's okay, but definitely not meant for an e-bike.

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2022

Pay close attention to how much your e-bike weighs, and then look at the specifications and weight limits of the stand that you are purchasing.

This particular one is a beast, pretty hefty and heavy. But unfortunately, I didn't feel confident that it would hold up a 70 to 80 lb ebike with all the accessories.

I ended up returning it, and going with a different brand that was about 20 to 30% less expensive as well.

DIY Bicycle Maintence? .... You Need This!

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2013

Are you tired of wrestling your bike to change a tire, tweak the gears, or clean it up? With this repair stand, gone are the need for make do props, and additional helpers. Also, your sore knees and back ache may go away. Changing a tire or cleaning the bike is almost fun with this. Adjusting a derailleur is a piece of cake. Work can be done sitting on a stool, or standing at about chest level.

This repair stand is very well made, functional, sturdy, relatively compact, and easy to use. It stores away nicely when you are done.

The weight of your bicycle might be some consideration. My main bicycle is a vintage 1994 Colnago road bike with clinchers. This repair stand could take more weight than my bike, but I am not sure how much. It is pretty stout. However, I don't know how it might work with an off-road bike. Someone else might speak to that.

I had looked at bicycle repair stands for years. Most were either too expensive, or permanent fixtures for a commercial store/shop. Speaking of bike shops, I shopped around for a shop to do some annual maintenance and clean up. I wasn't totally surprised to get prices over $200, for labor alone, just to replace 2 tires, replace the chain, and clean my bike. By the time I added the inflated shop prices for the materials the total cost was out of sight. Don't get me wrong, I am all for supporting local businesses, and do when it is a reasonable situation. This repair stand is paid for about the cost of one spring tune-up by a bike shop,

So, get one of these and stop the self abuse of bicycle maintenance done down on the floor.

Disclaimer: I have no relationship with Feedback Sports except the purchase of their repair stand.

Great Product - Great Customer Service - Great Value

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2017

This stand is very well designed and built, plus it it looks great. It's also surprisingly light. The tool tray and tote bag are equally good. I needed a stand that was easy to set up and take down since I don't have a place to leave it set up. Setting it up and taking it down takes less than a minute combined once you get use to it. The height and bike orientation adjustments make it easy to work on any part of the bike whether you're sitting or standing. With the bike mounted the stand is quite stable, especially if you position the clamp arm over one of the legs. The clamp is AWESOME and is only available on this model. I was hesitant to spend this much on a stand, but now that I've used it, I'm so glad I did, Since I received it I've been working on my bike after every ride which is something I wasn't doing before. Customer service is in Colorado and a pleasure to deal with.

Works as intended. Unsure of the Clam Arm.

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

Purchased this over a Park Tool 10.2. I wanted the small footprint when not in use along with the portability that is indicated. I can't say this isn't nice or that it doesn't hold my bike steady. It is nice and it does hold the bike steady. But the arm is a bit wonky and it took some time to feel that it was going to do the job safely.

After using this for over a month and having done some minor jobs on my bikes, I do like it. The clamp is great. The rachet with the spinning handle to tighten at the end is easy to use with one hand while holding your bike with the other. I had no trouble getting the bike up and doing work on it the first use. But I realized I had to rotate the arm to stop it from sagging. An easy fix that was more operator error than the stand being bad. But even with the arm properly seated and positioned, there is a tiny bit of sag. Not the end of the world, but my 34lbs bike shouldn't be maxing this out, but it looks like it might be.

It is stable and looks great. Easy to open and close. You can do it with one hand if you had to. The stand is super lightweight and I can see taking it with us on trips. I didn't get the bag since it was ridiculously overpriced but I will get something to carry it with us when we go on road trips. Currently for storage, I collapse down the arm and the top half and fold in the legs 90%. This allows it to stand upright on its own an still take up only a few inches on the floor.
I think that might be its best feature.

Pro quality stand

This highly rated stand is a choice of pros for a reason. It is simply fantastic at the job it was designed to do. Super easy to deploy and put away. Extremely stable. Adaptable to different bike types and looks good to boot. If you need a stand and don’t have a dedicated space for a shop stand, get this and be forever happy you did whenever you need to do a bike maintenance chore.

Sturdy and easy to use

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2022

My initial impression after using this bike stand a couple times is that the quality is excellent (i.e. very sturdy and quite stable) and that it's easy to use. One particularly good thing about this stand is that the "jaws", when gripping the bike's horizontal frame tube, are positioned to the right and left side of the tube rather than on the bottom and top sides of the tub. For a bike such as mine, which has 3 steel cables (1 for brakes and 2 for gear shifting) running along the top of the horizontal tube, this is much better. Note that you may have to tighten the screw on the metal clamp that locks the upper tube of the stand into position; otherwise, the weight of your bike may cause it to slide down into the lower tube of the stand. Once I did that, it held the bike perfectly. So far, I'm very pleased with this stand.

My last bike stand

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2013

This is an extremely high quality piece of equipment and I expect it to last for the rest of my lifetime and beyond. It is easy to use, intuitive to set up, and easy to store. I am keeping the box for storage, along with the plastic bag that housed the stand. Too bad that there was not a storage/carrying bag included. Paying top dollar for the top of the line product, that would have been a nice touch but, I think I got my money's worth.

I bought the stand because I could not determine what was amiss with my bike, since the malfunction only occurred when I was moving and the drive train was under load. I decided that I needed a sturdy stand to support my heavy mountain bike while I put it through it's paces. The Pro Elite lived up to it's reputation and I was not disappointed. As soon as I got my bike on the sturdy repair stand and cranked it up to speed, my problem became clearly evident. A quick trip to my local bike shop for the required replacement parts and about 45 minutes of MY time got me up and running. I saved $120 in "skilled labor" costs and took another 10 minutes to tune up the disk brakes (probably would have cost an additional $35).

Another benefit: I did it myself and so I know it was done correctly - nothing left loose or missing.

The Pro Elite took only 5 minutes to fold up and store, and I have been riding trouble free ever since. I like feeling confident that I can quickly set up the stand and mount my bike anytime I feel like tweaking or adjusting anything. Good equipment is worth the price and buying the best makes good sense.

Great Bike Stand - worth the money if you can afford it.

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2016

Just received my bike stand. Opened the box, pulled off the plastic, and this thing was ready to rock. No assembly required, which was very nice. Obviously very sturdy and simple to use, as others have commented. All the clamping mechanisms are steel and very sturdy - not plastic like some stands (which you know are going to crack). The overall tubular structure is anodized aluminum which keeps it light weight and looking good. Only time will tell how it holds up but for a weekend warrior I think it is perfect. I like that it folds up and can be stored away compactly. The only initial negative comment I have is I wish the clamping mechanism could be rotated to the angle of my seat post so that the bike hung level. As it is now, the front wheel is lower than the back. I doubt this will be a problem as the stand has plenty of height adjustment, but it is the only thing I can find wrong with the stand.

If your Head Clamp is not working...

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

Picked up this bike stand after my $65 one I bought a few years ago bit the dust (the plastic head just wore out). figured I would get something me sturdy and well built.

It was easy to assemble and figure out.

One issue though: The head clamp would not stay close. The way it works is you close the clamp around your bike and it stays closed. You fine tune the grip with a spin knob and release with a quick release. When you close the clamp, it works on a ratchet system so you can hear it clicking. Mine was not doing that would would not stay closed. I emailed Feedback and within a few hours got a response. Matt, from Feedback, recommended I forcefully shut the clamp. That should do the trick. I did as instructed and it worked. I appreciate Feedback's quick response and easy solution. I know another reviewer actually disassembled his head clamp which looks like a pain in the butt.

Anyway, looking forward to using this stand!

I had a little problem with the jaws coming apart. This was quickly resolved by real people. Very good customer service. The jaws are a bit long so make sure your post is long enough.
