For those thinking of buying a workstand . . . .

Earlier this afternoon I took delivery of my new Park Tools PCS-10 workstand from CRC. It couldn't of come at a better time as I'd just got back from a ride and the bike was filthy. All I had to do was assemble it and away I go!

Well, to say this thing is well made is an understatement. Sweet baby Jesus this thing is made of well painted scaffold bars! Every piece of the self assembly kit screams quality and I couldn't wait to use it in anger.

What a difference it makes to cleaning and reps. It might sound daft but it was a pleasure clean and to get into all the nooks and crannies I'd never really looked into before. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and it felt great having no back ache after

If anyones considering getting one of these - go for it. I know it's touching a hundred quid but the quality of this equipment is amazing. It will outlast some bikes I've had I'm telling ya. It it makes maintenance an absolute doddle. Do what I've done and have it for Christmas/Birthday. Now I've just got to put the bloody thing away so my gf can give it to me as a present

Just thought I'd share my experience as I know there's been a couple of posts up. Me being one of them!

yes having a stand makes the whole looking after the bike thing a lot easier. Enjoy!

I'd guess that this is the 1st thing made by Park Tool that you've bought then

my thoughts too ha ha. park tools don't do budget quality

TBH any decent, cheaper stand would do you just as well. But it's nice to have nice things 8)

i just bought my dad a parktool stand for his b-day and agree with its quality. the bike shop i bought it from said they got the same one as a temporary when they first got their shop and kept it cause its so good, well does the job anyway. i paid to much for it cause i left it till the last minute but didnt mind really cause its a nice bit of kit and well worth it.

I could do with buying a decent stand, I'll have to check out the Park ones.
At the moment I'm using a cymbal stand from my drum kit with a clamp to replicate a bike stand, does the job but it's a bit overkill.

thanks for this post, I am very tempted to add that stand to my Christmas list. Now I cirtainly will add one of the park ones.

Yes it is. I'd read alot about the quality stuff they produce but it really did take me by suprise. It is top, TOP quality and well worth the extra
