FYI on Feedback Sports Pro Mechanic HD repair stand

[Thomas Blak]

I picked up the Feedback Sports Pro Mechanic HD repair stand because I wanted something more portable than my Cinelli shop stand and I wanted something more stable than my Feedback Pro Elite which I might add was useless with my Sam Hillborne. 

I was pleasantly surprised on how well it works with my Rivendells. It is quite stable, has a unique clamping system that makes for an easy on and off. It can hold the bike at any angle without slipping. It is far superior to my Pro Elite stand which I use for anything that weighs less than my Riv.

It does have a few negatives. Its spendy. Second, the anodized aluminum isn't the same quality as my Pro Elite stand and my Sprint stand. It does share the same limitation as other Feedback stands, namely big footprint and you have be cognizant of the legs as they can be a trip hazard.

So far it meets my needs quite well and I finally have a portable stand that can handle the weight of my Rivendell without falling over. It is a keeper.

I have that same stand. I love it. It is so easy to get different bikes up where you want them to be. And is so easy to fold up and store.  Yes, if you leave it set up, the footprint can be a tripping hazard.
