As a newbie, this was the most informative video of all of the video evaluations on the Feedback Pro Sports Elite. Thank you greatly!
I have just purchased / received the Feedback Sports Pro Elite. To anyone thinking of buying one: do it - you will not regret it! It is much beefier, sturdier & better-made than you expect, once you see it & handle it in real life. The issues of it spinning or sliding down from some reviewers are not an issue - the metal clips can be easily tightened to how much you require, using a slotted screwdriver. I prefer this clamp to the Park Tool version & I think the 3-arm wheel/knob is a joy to use (made of heavy cast metal).
Both of your reviews on these stands have been super helpful. Thanks!
We take our Feedback Sports Pro Elite Stands with us to every race. We fly and drive with the several stands because they are still compact enough to make the traveling quite easy. They barely take up any room in our vehicles, which is a nice feature as well. This is an all around pro mechanic stand!
Stoked it works for you. In our mini-van camper it is a little tight, so we are more apt to bring the Sprint stand.
Fair comment about tripod stands being tippy. I toss a ten lb sandbag over the back leg, and no problem. You can find a variety of essential the same bag online: Neewer Set of Four Black/Yellow Heavy Duty Sand Bag
Great comparison. Just bought the Feedback Sports Pro Elite, and it's way more stable/sturdy/durable than I expected. However, you are correct about rotating the bike in the stand with a bike of any significant weight, as the clamp will rotate back down to level the bike. The height of the bike remained constant, even with my 52lb Turbo Levo, but even with the battery and wheels removed, it would not rotate vertical. Maybe the center of gravity was working against me as I was clamped at the dropper post, but I'm hesitant to clamp on to the top tube (or any tube on my carbon MTB). Either way, this beats working on the bike on the ground!
I purchased the Sprint stand. I can't justify the risk of possibly damaging the carbon frame. Trek SL6 uses a seat mast that goes over not in the frame seat tube. First, there is no aluminum mast available for purchase to clamp to. Second, It would probably be fine if the bike was lightly clamped and left horizontal. I felt that if I needed to put the bike in a semi vertical position say front wheel at 1 or 2 o'clock it would put undue stress on the seat tube and mast.
Yes it takes a few more steps to mount the bike in the frame, but peace of mind is worth it to me. There are times you have to substitute convenience for practicality. Thanks for the video.
100% - one of the strongest reasons to get the Sprint. My wife's carbon road bike doesn't have a round tube anywhere. The 1st time I (hypothetically) crushed a tube the Sprint would look like an amazing deal. Decided to be proactive. Already had a trad Park shop stand anyway.
Thanks for the great review, really appreciated the concise editing and calm speaking voice. Also, I have that TNF fleece and it's the best thing ever.
Favorite winter piece. So cozy!
Great review. Thanks so much.
I feel embarrassingly lazy for admitting this, but the Sprint stand would require to to take my front wheel off every time I use it and while not a huge deal with my QR forks, this is more of a pain for my MTB's thru-axel.
Would also be a little on the short side for really slack mtbs too IME.
@@PathLessPedaledTV Good point.
Excellent review-thank you very much!Objective, even-handed, well presented and excellent editing.This was just the comparison I was looking for. I just went over to your detailed review of the Sprint too, complete the comparison.Conclusion: I think I want both ;-)Still a hard decision but at least now I will know exactly why I make the one I do (looks like the Pro Elite is going to be most suitable for me but I sure would like the other one as well!).Thanks again-great work!
Which one do you think is better for washing the bike? Great video!
@4:47 Tip: If you have the bike alongside the clamp arm and have the rear wheel to the right (when standing in front of it) it will distribute the weight in a better way and the "problem" is somewhat solved.
Please use caution when using the clamp on either the top tube or the seat tube. Most mechanics will strongly advise you to only clamp to the seatpost, as clamping to the frame can cause damage! Particularly when the thinnest parts of the tubes are often the furthest from a junction of two or more tubes. Thin tube walls are more susceptible to squishing/deforming/cracking under clamping loads.
fbhidy Perhaps a nice feature to see in a higher end repair stand would be a torque maximum to ensure the user couldn’t overtighten and crack expensive crabon components...
Is it possible to rotate the clamp piece around the main tube? You mentioned that you want the bike on top of one of the legs. Could you rotate where the arm points so it would hold the bike above one of the legs?
Yes
Yes, but you also have to support the bike weight while rotating as the release clamps up down as well as right left motions.
Great job comparing the two!
I just got mine, love it but don't like the trip pod. It's sturdier with one leg towards you but then you can't rotate your cranks.
Every informative. I have a 46 lb ebike. Looking for stand that will handle the weight and will still be stable . Was leaning towards a classic or a ultra lite . The pro elite is a very nice stand
Which one do you think will work for the Brompton bike
Sprint.
@@PathLessPedaledTV Why do you think the Sprint would work better for a Brompton folding bike?
Can the sprint stand rotate at different angles? ie. instead of just being horizontal to the ground.
No.
Is there any way to lock it? I can see myself hitting the big button accidentally while working on the bike.
+Carlos Benjamin no lock, but it can't be opened accidentally. You have to loosen the clamp a turn or two then squeeze the button. If you just tap it it won't open.
Also, the Sprint stand would also be better for washing your bike, since you can easily rotate the bike and lift it.
Excellent, my friend. I've made my mind up.
Glad it could help.
Thanks so much for the review.
I rebuilt my DH bike on my sprint stand with 20mm thru axle
i had one i bought for 150 sold it for 100 big mistake because now i want to buy one again for 247😖
I take it this stand can't clamp onto aero, road seat-posts.
Prob not.
Was expeting see a bike stand not a talkign head.
Bummer.
