Awesome video！by far the most realistic and practical bike work stand comparison video I have ever seen. Great work！
I own the cheapest park stand and it works pretty good. I don’t envy the features on these other stands. A stand must be sturdy and stable which is something the park does in spades, even at the lowest price point. But different strokes for different folks. I barely move my stand.
link?
I bought a CXWXC bike repair stand and it worked really well.
One thing to note about the Feedback Sports stand, is there's a way to make a quick adjustment to the throw when getting it in/out of the stand. There's a certain point in the adjustment where you can pull the knob in/out a pretty good distance. It shortens the time of trying to hold the bike up and getting it clamped in.
True. My Feedback Sports stand will slide (!) wide open or closed once the soft rubber rotary knob is first turned CCW about 1/2 turn. Then turn CW to do final tightening. Easy peasy. Notice that this all aluminum stand can be used for repair or for washing. And the wet or muddy or greasy stand can be easily and quickly wiped down and cleaned before storage - no worries of rusting. The smooth, long-lasting and beautiful anodized finish is the best available.
Thanks for sharing the video. The carbon assembly paste sounds like a good tip to reduce the slippage.
Made my own twice in my life, one free standing, one off the side of a welding table, total cost 20$ and works great, skills are more valuable than throwing money.
Time is an important aspect of the decision criteria for me. I like working on my bike, but I don't want to spend much time building a bike stand that might (or might not) work. Also, I value the portability of a bike stand. While it does spend most of its time in one place, I take it with me every so often (like when I travel, or want to work in the garage vs basement).
I think you’re absolutely right, I’ve personally had a $40 stand for almost a year now and after learning a ton of the skills I need to work on a bike along with all the tools, I feel as though now it is appropriate to upgrade my stand.
As a proud Bikehand owner I am pissed that you didn't select it as best value. It clearly is, especially when you consider ease of set up/break down and moving around b/c its pretty light. Plus it makes for a good rest while ripping on Doug DeMuro. :-)
Love my Bikehand also. No mention of the free tool tray or how easy it is to adjust while the bike is on the stand (rotate, height and legs aren't 3.5 ft long either). Having teeth, never ever will it slip and it folds up to hang on the wall super flat. If it was blue and sold by Park Tools there wouldn't be a close second.
Awesome! This will help me select a stand that will work well for my needs, week done and thank you sir!
Thanks for the reviews. The more i see these clamp style stands, the less I like them over a platform type like the sprint stand. I've never liked the idea of clamping carbon parts even if it's just a seat post.
A wide throw is also useful when trying to muscle a heavy bike into the stand, you don't have to line up the seat post/top tube as accurately to fit it in the jaws.
I think clamping
I am OK with you clamping YOUR bike ;P.
The resin that holds them together that does most of the breaking, not the CF. The top tube isn't designed for compressive forces around the diameter of the tube. That's why it isn't recommended. Probably one of those things where you can do it 99 out of a 100 times with no issue, but the one time you apply too much pressure, you break the frame. We know it's a bad idea. We know why. Very much an individual tolerance for risk kind of thing.
This is a good summary of these various stands. The complaining in these comment... some people need to find a hobby lol. Overall, I prefer the beam-type repair stands to any of these clamping stands. It's a bit of a hassle to take off the front wheel to use a beam-type stand, but they are far more stable than any of these clamping stands as the bike weight is centered exactly in the middle of the base not off to one side and the center of gravity is much lower. Also, all sides of the bike are more accessible because there's no column in the way, there's no clamp involved so there's no concerns with clamping aero seatposts or fragile tubes, and it's easy to rotate the bike around to get at the angle you want (really useful feature for washing bikes). Bike Hand sells a very nice beam-type stand for $150 on Amazon.
For building a bike, I can see how that would be better. Working on a bike, especially things like the front disc brake, would be easier on a seat post clamping type.
Also can they do all types of axles, QR, 12mm, 15mm?
Is your driveway sloped?I think that would bias the results.
Adding sandbags can help with extra stability. Most photography supply stores will have them.
Very true, but if you pick the right stand you don't need to stock sandbags :).
Thanks for the sharing, great info 👍👍
Great video and good comparisons.
"The way that they get views is repugnant to me." lmao, subscribed!
Great video explaining the throat issue where no one else seems to have mentioned it. Given the parktool is the winner here, would you recommend their prs-25 over the pcs-10? If price isn’t a concern.
If you have the budget for it, yes.
@@Mamilian thanks!
On the feedback sports, when you turn it back like half a turn you can slide it in freely without turning the knob. Same for sliding it out, turn it until there is no tension on it, then you can just pull it apart.
I prefer my all steel professional Park work stand.
My husband recently bought an e-bike and I want to get him a workstand. I have narrowed the brand down to Park Tools but can’t decide between the 9.3 and the 10.2. Is the 10.2 worth the extra money?
The main difference b/w the 9.3 and the 10.3 is in the clamp. Working on a heavy bike, like most e-bikes, I think it's probably worth opting for the 10.3 clamp because it's going to be easier to get the bike in and out of the stand, but it's not going to be a huge difference in usability.
@@Mamilian thank you so much for your advice - it has really helped 🤩
Awesome review and that’s right don’t let your buddy break balls not everyone including me likes Doug demuro,liked and subscribed for keeping it G😂
Just making sure: the Bike Hand in the video is the 55lbs capacity version from the Amazon photo displayed correct?
I believe so.
@@Mamilian I'm a weekend warrior and also want to work on my 4 and 6 year olds bikes and my wife's Trek hybrid. Do you think I'd be fine with the 55lbs version you showed in the video or do you think jumping up to the 110lbs capacity is necessary?
@@chrisginoc The 110lb model might be a more stable, but unless you're working on one of those new fat tire e-bikes, I think you'd be fine with the 55lb model. 55lb is a massive bike :).
Is this in America ? Why are they using the metric system, we use feet, inches, yards
The more expensive Feedback Sports models use slightly longer tripod legs for best stability. And yes the friction locking can be greatly improved with carbon paste.
Most bike shops ive been they have clothes or towels wrap around thos clamps so it wont be a problem holding down the Seatpost of yhe bike
Great video man. I appreciate you taking the time to set this up!!! Really good overview of some of the stands. I was tossing up between a Park PCS 4-2 and a Feedback sports. I just found out the PCS 4-2 has a vertically mounted wheel truing accessory, so that just about seals it for me, because I think that's pretty awesome.
I'll never understand people's fascination with carbon bikes though. They are a bit lighter, but so much more easily prone to getting wrecked. And they can't be recycled when they're done. It's just this nasty fibre stuff that goes in landfill forever.
Thanks
That was really informative and I think I'll go for the Park Tool PCS-10. I liked your style - don't ever sell out😁!
Thanks! PCS-10.3 is the newest version and looks to address some complaints I have with mine.
@@Mamilian Many thanks, that's the one I'm going to order so I won't look up the gel you used to overcome the problem on the earlier model.
I have a Park stand..have to check which model but, I’ve used it a lot and zero complaints..I will never flip my bike upside down again :)
What about aluminum tubing is that OK for clamping ?
Yep. Clamp away!
I own the SuperB eBike specific bike stand and I love it. also there's a few more brands that you didn't show it like Pedro's or Unior.
Aero bikes like that tt you can remove the seatpost and install a normal post in them and then clamp that.
How would you clamp the normal post in the seat tube? I don't see how that could work; I have a Speed Concept. Even if that was an option, that's a lot of work to clamp the bike. Especially if you have Di2 with the battery in the seat post.
FWIW, the easy way to work on a TT bike if you can't clamp the seat post, is to hang it from the saddle. Most TT saddles can be gently clamped as well - if you need more stability.
@@Mamilian not a lot of work. Most seatposts come in three sizes. You just remove the aero and install regular. No seat will be moved so reinstall at the same height and your off. Now it won’t work with anything other than round post holes of course.
@@tasaman I'm not aware of any modern TT bikes that have a round post. Do you have an e.g.? If you have Di2, it would be disconnection the battery, making sure the cables didn't get stuck in the bike when you stick in alternate seatpost, then getting the tape out to ensure that you put it all back together correctly. There are easier options: th-cam.com/video/hvtiEphcbpU/w-d-xo.html
What are those bags on the fat bike's handle bars?

Buenas tardes soy de Mexico que precio tiene el parador de bicicletas gracias
now you got a S-Work try a Colnago….just for fun and see how it feels….with Campy…..you will not regret it 😂
I wonder if they would hold a ebike?
Most stands have a weight limit. That should tell you ask you need to know.
i need to buy a bicycle for my stand i inherited.
Park Tool PRS-25. I got the best. Don‘t have time to mess with inferior stands.
I bought the cheapest stand on ebay 39.99 free shipping. It works.
Would you rate the park tool pcs 9.2 ok?
Yes. The clamp isn't as nice as the 10.x, but it should still be a very solid stand. It's really hard to go wrong with Park Tool products, but you do pay a premium.
@@Mamilian Tks for your fast answer. Will be much better than two ropes hanging from the basement ceiling. They are hard to find these days but just put one aside.
That blue road s works bicycle is super Ferrari
Благодарю!
This bike was really easy to assemble th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
The stands are not placed on a leveled surface, your driveway isn't.
Perfectly level, no, of course not. The concrete floor in my basement isn't perfectly level either. Very few floors are perfectly level. If your commenting about the slight incline of the driveway, then yes, there is a slight incline. Does that matter? Guess it depends what your perceived issue is. One might argue that it doesn't matter at all because it's barely noticeable IRL, its a modern flat concrete driveway, and since most floors aren't perfectly level; using the stands in a place where I actually use a stand might be a better test. Also since most of the stands are a tripod design, as long as the floor isn't crazy uneven, it's fine - tripods are awesome that way :).
Hey, what is that seat?
Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking for. If you mean the saddles on my bikes, the white one on the fat bike is a fizik arione r3, and the one on my road bike is a specialized s-works toupe (the old style).
@@Mamilian I appreciate you trying to answer my vaguely worded question. Yes the seats on your bike. Shopping for and considering an Arione.
The ground youre on is on a slight slope
Yes, yes it is. Good test of stability on an imperfect surface.
A lot of people use purple neon lights in their videos. Just look. No idea why.
The bike hand wasn't even opened properly! The clamp mechanism for the legs goes all the way down to the bottom which spreads the legs out wider annb makes the stand stable! Unbelievable!
Thanks for your comment. I can only assume that you have a different model, because as you may notice if you look at the product image on the bike hand website, this stand is setup the same way (www.bikehand.com/en/product-300463/Bicycle-Repair-Stand-YC-100BH.html).
background noise bit distracting
about 20 dollars to make in china.
I had never even heard of Doug Demuro until this video but after seeing one of his videos I clicked it off after 5 seconds. I just dont want to see a radio personality on my computer screen. "whacky zany" guys should not be on camera to me IMO.
This video was NO help to me at all. I want to buy a bike repair stand in the very near future, but this video doesn't help me decide AT ALL.
Sorry to hear that. The purpose of the video was more to explain how to evaluate a bike stand, provide some suggestions at the bottom and top end of the price range, and talk through pro/con of some of the common stands that are available. Every stand has some drawbacks (i.e. feel, price, flexibility, etc). We live in a complicated world, with lots of choices.
If you're looking for a single recommendation, that's really hard without knowing your budget. Personally, if I had to buy a stand again, I would go for the Park Tool PCS-10.2 (newer version of what I have) because it fixes at least one of the complaints I have with my PCS-10, and without spending pro-level $ on a stand, the PCS-10.x line is fantastic for what I use it for.
@@Mamilian Thanks for the courtesy of a reply. I've been looking (online) at bike repair stands for a couple weeks. They're all looking the same to me, at this point. Most of them are over my budget. The Park Tools stands more so than the others, by far. Sorry I unloaded on YOU, because my feelings of frustration weren't caused by YOU, obviously.
I think I'm going to try the "Ibera Easy Utility Bicycle Stand" available on Amazon for $25. It folds up for storage VERY small, and if it doesn't work out for me I'll just throw it away. I couldn't afford to do that with the Park Tools stands.
Hope you enjoy making TH-cam content for a long time into the future. But maybe you should consider getting a different narrator, someone whose voice would not "trail off" during part of the sentences so much. Also eliminate the noisy background (neighbors' conversations). Also you could stop obsessing with the clamp-opening distance, measuring it to the tenth of a millimeter for crissake!
Have a good day, Sir!
Ain’t nobody crushing carbon top tubes cleaning and changing out a few parts on their bike man , hogwash!
Can do, and should do, are very different things. If you want to clamp your carbon top tube, I don't think that's smart, but hey, roll with whatever you're comfortable with :).
Your rattling on for too long, its a stand review not a marathon.
Thanks for you thoughtful feedback.
@@Mamilian Sorry was in aggressive mode, (scammed by a e-bikeshop)i think a little less detail would be better....as in jaws are a little small or maybe jamming a bike with a big top tube in quick succession the rating it.too much detail can turn viewers off.
@@yetti423 The problem is that one person's "too much detail" is another's "perfect amount" and another's "not enough". No review is perfect, but it is always my goal to err on the side of too much information instead of too little.
Rattling On? Really? Says the founder of the "Evelyn Wood Speadreading Cult"......LOL. When you truly get "Unlimited" Internet you will truly know and not be nickeled and dimed by your provider as it sounds in your case haha that you can listen to people...rattling on without prejudice!
Keep posting and "Rattling ON" Mamilian and providing us content with your selflessness and generous time given up in life for us to become informed!
@@RogerDiotte err what are you rattling on about? its a bit grand for saying i do not agree. also prefer 'peanut butter spreading cult"
WTF IS ALL THAT NOISE ?
probably my friends drinking beer, I did mention that :)
Dude all that background noise is so annoying
IKR! If only you'd been warned...
E-BIKE PLEASE
