That’s the one I recently got. I tinker with my bikes much more now that I have the stand. It’s definitely better than having to bend over the whole time with the bike on the floor. I used to hang the bike up on a hook to do repairs but found it annoying with all the swinging around every time I tried to torque something.I see the one at REI is a tripod stand

This repair stand offers a blend of compactness, light weight and height-adjustable features at a terrific value.www.rei.com
One caveat about the Sports Mechanic stand is that you have to tighten the head really tight or the front wheel drops. It’s not too bad with a lightish trail bike but it doesn’t hold my 45 lbs DH bike. Kinda sucks since the specs claim it holds up to 65 lbs.

I have this one and love it. Folds up small and can handle most jobs easily. Picked up off the board here for $70. Check the board there may be one right here and at a great deal.

If you can find a PCS-2 in decent shape, Park still makes all the parts for 30-40 year old stands that are compatible with the newest models. It's absolutely wonderful having a base that won't move if a Cat 5 hurricane rolls through.

Impressive!
its also how you loose every single thing (think bolt wrench part) that you drop working on the bike 🤣

Mine is a bit finicky. Everything inside is mechanically sound, but the ratchets just don’t seem to catch sometimes.
I may try to do something along these lines at some point:

Seems to make sense in terms of floor space. You also would have better access to both sides of the bike without the stand column in the way.
Close quarters work stand
Or perhaps, the correct term is work hang. Regardless, a recent move gave me the opportunity to move my previously off-site workshop on...

BKXC did something similar as well.

Yeah, and that's going straight back to the hanging hooks I use - ultimate versatility. At 6'4" I also don't like anything hanging that doesn't fully retract.
I was thinking the same thing.. basically and arsonist’s wet dream.
Just the tip.. of the day
these stands are 238% more stable when you set the bike in by the rear wheel vs the front.
Mention this thread and the passphrase “constapated granmother flying squirrel 🐿 “ for 10% the prices on the feedback website.

That's some seriously fucked up foreshadowing on my part after last night.
Who has the dry bike stand area now?
Ooooooooooo yeah, ooooooooo me!
