From the moment I opened the box, I was really impressed with this bike stand. Extremely well packaged, all parts were in perfect condition. Assembly was incredibly easy. Part fit and finish is perfect. Every part is rock solid. The bike clamp is an absolute beast and holds my heaviest bike with ease, with no deflection in the stand. To be fair, this bike stand cost twice as much as the lower cost units, but when you see how well it is made and how easily it folds and how functional it is, I am very glad that I paid the extra cost. It has been a long time since I have been this impressed with a product.

Easily holds my retro Specialized Hardrock from the 1980s. I read many reviews of this stand before buying. Several reviews say it collapsed with while holding a bike. Not good. One reviewer posted a pic showing the plastic clamp that stabilizes the extension tube actually split in two after his bike came crashing down on him. I agree with several other reviewers that this can only happen if the extension tube is positioned well above the maximum height indicated on the tube, but in defense of the poor guy whose bike fell on him, the MAX height line is embossed on the extension tube and is nearly impossible to see. Find this line when you first assemble the stand and mark it with a permanent marker. It's important. More worrisome to me are the reviews suggesting the clamp that holds the extension tube at a given height will slip and allow the bike to fall, in this case without breaking anything. I have NOT experienced this, but I've only been using it a week and only for a relatively light mountain bike. Another reviewer wished for a way to hold the handle bar still; I agree. I'm using a short bungee cord, but surely Park Tool can think of something better. Now for the positives. The assembly instructions are decent, but what really stands out during assembly is all the little things the designers thought of and solved by good design. As other reviewers have said, the pictures are the key to correct assembly. Park Tool would do well to eliminate the words entirely and upgrade the drawings the way IKEA has made it simple for anyone to assemble furniture. I love the quick-release feature of all the clamps; this was my main reason for buying 10.2 instead of 9.2. The main clamp that holds the bike is massive and rotates to any conceivable position. The designers even left room for external cables to pass through the clamp without themselves being clamped. Nice. The clamp jaws will not mar the surface paint job of your favorite bike. Finally, the really important point: if you work on bikes, get a stand! It's SO much easier to do the work and you will save your back for riding.

I finally have a bike repair stand that works to hold my bike steady as I work on it. After trying one of those off brand repair stands with 4 legs I decided to sell that shaky one and get a Park, a brand known for their quality products. I had a challenge trying to decide to get this PCS 10.2 model vs. the lesser-priced PCS 9. The main difference between the 2 being a slightly beefier bike clamp and more quick release leavers on the PCS 10. I'm glad I spent the extra $$ and got the PCS 10 except for one feature. All of the adjustable clamps are fitted with quick release levers, which make setting up and taking down this stand a cinch. EXCEPT for the extra safety clamp located at where the leg extension locking lever is found. I see why the extra safety clamp has been added, because if the user doesn't fully and adequately tighten the primary locking clamp it tends to slip and the stand can collapse. It appears that Park added the extra safety clamp later, but didn't bother to design it with quick release like the other adjustment points. This kind of defeats the purpose of having this "quick release" model. Having to screw tighten only one clamp is better than all of them as found on the PCS 9, so I'm still giving this excellent repair stand 5 stars.

Très belle couleur bleue typique de Park Tool avec la qualité de la marque.Après un montage assez simple, l'ensemble semble robuste et rempli parfaitement sa fonction. Le maintient du vélo est excellent (utilisé pour VTT). A voir dans le temps mais les matériaux inspirent confiance et la qualité globale est très correcte, je recommande !

I just use this stand for personal bike maintenance, but I can't overstate how nice it is to have a stand of this quality when I need to work on my bike. It was very easy to build and the instructions were exceptionally clear in the associated video. This is definitely a buy-it-for-life kind of stand...I can't imagine this ever wearing out. At first glance, you might look at some of the plastic hardware and suspect it would break, but the polymer used is very high quality, dense sturdy material that will undoubtedly last me for years and years. I'm sure this material helps a lot with the weight, because it's deceptively light, and once you fold it up (which takes like three movements), it's light enough to easily toss in a vehicle to travel with or hang on a garage wall or whatever. On top of it all, I think the paint finish (matte blue) with the black hardware really gives it a very high quality finish and look. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this thing. Just the quality you'd expect from Park.

I had a cheaper stand for a couple of years, it kind of did the job but also didn't - I wasn't confident in its gripping ability and often found putting force down caused things to slip etc so I decided enough is enough lets get a proper bike stand.I was tempted to go for other brands, slightly better priced and looked similar but nope Park Tool are known for being the standard so that's what I'm getting.Wow, I'm glad I did - easy enough to put together and it can hold my bike in the position I'd want even upside down if needed, and i don't have to tweak bolts or break my hand trying to clamp down bolts/screws in an attempt to make it grip, it's just a few quick turns and then clamp with the very sturdy feeling quick release - job done.Easily adjustable & sturdy height/position as well so everything just feels very solid, this thing is going to last me many years of general bike maintenance if not forever.

The build quality and sturdiness of this workstand are fantastic. Very happy with my purchase and if you are over 40 then your back will thank you also for not having to bend over to do bike maintenance.

Il supporto è robusto, stabile e pesante. Oltre alla capacità di sostenere una qualsiasi bici durante la manutenzione (che è ovviamente data per scontata) questo supporto ha alcune particolarità molto positive:- la base si ripiega in modo compatto sulla colonna, quindi il supporto occupa poco spazio quando viene riposto;- la colonna ha una sezione a goccia, quindi non ruota quando si opera sulla bici;- il morsetto che tiene la bici ha l'apertura rapida, oltre alla manovella per stringere e questo consente di appoggiare la bici, bloccarla provvisoriamente con l'aggancio rapido e stringere poi quanto serve per bloccarla definitivamente; questo è comodo perché tener su la bici con una mano mentre si stringe la manovella con l'altra è faticoso;- ha un piccolo (molto piccolo) vassoio porta viti che è meglio di niente.- la testa dà la possibilità di ruotare la bici attorno ad un asse orizzontale (utile per abbassare la ruota anteriore e rendere stabile il manubrio oppure abbassare la ruota posteriore per lavorare sulla trasmissione.

Buena relación precio-calidad, aguanta mi e-bike de 22kg y yo trabajo como mecánico de bicicletas en taller y este soporte que he comprado por mi casa es bastante profesional, una vez que la bici está colgada no se cae y ademas es sencillo de girar la misma para actuar en la rueda delantera o trasera.El sistema plegable es eficiente y el peso no ed demasiado, en mi caso me permite de poder hacer mantenimiento en cualquier lugar, lo puedo recomendar sin duda.Viene en una caja bien embalado y lleva laves Allen para montarlo; instrucciones claras y sencillas. En el eje central lleva una pequeña bandeja para herramienta y tornillos.
