Feedback Sports Sport-Mechanic Work Stand Review

The Sport-Mechanic Work stand is sturdy and strong, lightweight, easy to set up and easy to put away. It will likely last for many years even with heavy use, which makes it a good investment for a committed bike mechanic.

This Feedback Sports stand has knobs at the base that control each of the three legs. By turning the latches on the knobs, you can fold it up tight, and stow it away in some corner. It weighs 12.8 pounds, which makes it easy to move around. Folded dimensions are 6.6 x 5 x 44.1 inches.
Most other repair stands have two L shaped legs that cannot bend unless you detach them completely, so the tripod design of the Sport-Mechanic Work stand is a definite advantage over competitors.

This stand has a clamp head that can turn 360 degrees (most bike stands can do the same), but unlike the competition, the clamp is only 3.6 inches long. This allows for clamping on bikes without having to adjust the saddle height- not a big deal in itself, but a very thoughtful design feature that saves you time and effort.
The design of the clamp is simple and intuitive, and it has a crank with which you can open the clamp with just a single flip.
The stand can hold up to 65 pounds (most mountain bikes weigh around 40 pounds), so it will easily hold almost any bike you put in it.
