Reviews over the
Park Tool PCS-9.3 Mechanic
4 / 5
High quality, very user-friendly.
The stand is easy to assemble in 5 minutes after purchase, possibly with the help of the assembly instructions. The materials used are robust and can take a beating. The clamp in which the bike is mounted is easy to operate and has softer materials on the inside to prevent damage to the frame. It also maintains a good grip on the frame, keeping the bike in place. Despite only owning it for a few months, this stand seems to last a long time. After use, the stand is easy to fold and store in a corner of the shed/garage. However, I don't find it easy to take with you on holiday, unless you can transport it in a caravan/trailer etc. For the boot of the car, I think it's too big if you have to add luggage for a family. For a cycling weekend with two people, it might be possible (I am referring to a mid-size station wagon). Small downside is that the stickers on the stand do seem to come off quickly. Not a problem for me, but it does not match the otherwise high quality of this stand. Used for both road bike, MTB and heavy children's bike.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Stable, stylish and easy to use.
Now I can easily work on my road bike myself. Nice to be able to do it myself.
