Feedback Sports

I've been wrenching on my bikes for 40 years and actually owned an Ultimate Support (predecessor of Feedback Sports) Consumer repair stand for probably 20 years, which served me well. However, I figured it was time to upgrade and am I glad I did! My Pro Mechanic is so much more stable...can you say "rock solid"...and makes any bike repair or cleaning task easier and frankly enjoyable. They're not cheap, but BikeTiresDirect had it on sale and I'm confident that the durability that this stand demonstrates, I'll be passing this stand down to the next generation, no question! If I could have given it 6 stars, I would have!

With one caveat, I have been completely satisfied with this product as an accessory to my Pro Air Lift Repair Stand. ThSFMe caveat is that this tool tray comes with adapter rings that will only fit the telescoping portion of the lift. This is inconvenient if one wants the tool tray to stay at one level, i.e., not move up and down with the lift. FBS can provide an adapter ring which will allow the tray to attach to the lower, non-telescoping portion of lift, which I found much more useful.

I have been completely satisfied with this product. Works exactly as represented to lift my 28=pound Domane+ Ebike and save my (aging) back. Works with both my legacy SuperPista pump (with Schrader chuck) and with my handheld air compressor. Only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that one can't really considered it "a steal" at $725. But well worth the money.

Purchased for home use to replace a decades-old Ultimate Slidelock repair stand (predecessor to Feedback Sport repair stands). Used for road, gravel, and MTB (up to 30 pounds). Compared to my old Slidelock the Pro Mechanic is surprisingly more flexible. There's noticeable flex in the vertical post and at the clamp head, as well as slop in the tripod base. The clamp works well; the soft jaws are good; arrived fully assembled which is nice. The red quick-release button requires a pretty good whack to get it to release. Note that the Pro Mechanic has 2 pounds more material than my old Slidelock which makes the flex even more surprising. Got it on sale which helps a lot.
