Questions & Answers
According to the Park Tool website, if the bike is centered over the legs, this tool can support up to 80 pounds. I swung my 67-pounder into position. This stand was sturdy enough to hold a Rad Mini e-bike.
It folds up when not in use. I use it on a daily basis for work, and I have to unfold and fold it every day in order for it to fit in the back seat of my truck. However, you must assemble it from the box in which it was delivered to you.
It most certainly reaches a sufficient height.

Selected User Reviews For Park Tool PCS-10.2 Home Mechanic Bicycle Repair Stand
When I wasn't looking, the main quick release on the center pole slipped, and my expensive 60lb Ebike crashed to the ground. I couldn't believe it when I realized how hard I'd cranked up the clamp. I wiped the inside of the clamp and the pole with isopropyl alcohol to remove any possible lube, and it happened again, albeit a little more slowly this time. br>I contacted Park Tools, and they agreed to send me a replacement clamp. I might drill and insert a pin to keep the clamp from moving, which would be excellent customer service. Except for the design that keeps it upright, I like the stand, color, and features.
They demand high prices, and you get what you pay for. This product is not worth the money at this price. "Super strong glass filled nylon composite fittings and top tube internals create smooth rotation and secure positioning," according to the Park website. "br>Aluminum, not Chinese plastic, should be used for these. Since I bought my bike, this stand has dropped it five times. I was even embarrassed in front of my neighbor, who was watching me work on his granddaughter's bike when it collapsed as I reached for some tire levers. This stand is not recommended because it has significant design and manufacturing flaws.
With one exception, I've used this stand to assemble three bikes and I love it. Although Park Tool claims an 80-pound load capacity, this stand gave way under the weight of a 50-pound e-bike. When my bike collided with the cement floor, it damaged my frame. If you're going to put anything heavier on this stand than a regular bike, you'll want to make sure the quick-release mechanism is in good working order. I wouldn't leave the bike on the stand and walk away with the release clamps all cranked up to their maximum tightness. For those of you who are unfamiliar with me, I am a non This stand, however, is ideal for bikes.
Steel and aluminum are used throughout the space. It's around 50 years old and has never let me down in all that time; I expect it to last another 50 years. This bike stand, however, is a different story. It's made up of some high-quality metal components, but the plastic connectors give me pause because I've seen similar ones crack. And don't even think about gluing or welding them together again. It's not going to happen. However, it will not be subjected to the same level of abuse as my tripod, and I will not be throwing it around. So, the best I can do is order replacement parts now, before the product is phased out in a few years. So far, it's held up well. It appears to be a good fit for the bikes. The small tool tray that comes with the stand can't be rotated or moved to the back, and it can only be attached to the top vertical portion of the stand, where it appears to get in the way. It's supposed to slide up and down, but even when it's not locked down, it's too tight. I set it aside, and I'll have to get used to using the bike clamp. It works well, but only after you've double-checked that it's completely tight. Especially when it comes to vertical tubing. A small wrench and two hex wrenches were included in the stand's assembly kit. The instructions were not written by an expert in the field. The drawings, on the other hand, were sufficient in determining what should be done.
For $200. 00 I had hoped for more, and I'm disappointed. Will not support my 65-pound electric bicycle; the only way I could ride it was with two large C-clamps. clamps at the bottom to keep the plastic from sliding up and tipping over. (Which is what it attempted first. ) The box would be GOING BACK if I hadn't destroyed it.
built. . However, Amazon is unable to resolve the issue because the tool shelf was left out of my box. Park Tool's bike work rack is one of my favorites. It's strong and well-made. For $200, it's well-built and of the quality I'd expect. br>br>Unfortunately, the tool shelf was missing from the box. When I contacted Amazon, they said the only way to fix it is to send me a completely new repair stand, which I would then remove the tool shelf from and return the rest. What would Amazon do if the set was missing pieces? Send it to a different address, as they did with my first purchase? br>br>Every now and then, a brick-and-mortar store will offer a special deal. I believe the best idea is to open a brick-and-mortar store. Amazon usually comes out on top, but I'm disappointed in this sale.
Don't be fooled by lower quality/cheaper stands on the market; this is a fantastic stand that is well worth the money. I've purchased a number of stands, but they either don't/can't hold the bike in the desired position, or they allow the bike to tip over, bending the frames, and so on. I've been riding mountain bikes for more than 20 years, and this is a fantastic stand.
I've only used it a few times but am pleased with its quality and durability. It's not light, which is both good and inconvenient, but it tells me that it'll last for years. If you're good at this sort of thing, it's fairly simple to set up. It's a little inconvenient to fold the legs, but I'd rather sacrifice convenience for longevity. br>br>However, I can tell I'm still a novice when it comes to using it because it's still a little awkward getting my bike into it and clamping it down. Also, because I use a dropper post, I'm hesitant to clamp the smooth surface of the post, so I place a rag inside, but it slowly slides down. I'm still looking for the perfect clamping solution for my post. br>br>So far, I haven't seen the need to purchase accessories because the included tray is sufficient for most jobs and I have a separate tool case.
