Repair Stands

I'm looking to buy a repair stand for my mountain bike and are looking
at the following three models.
- Ultimate Pro Repair Stand, BRS-80RT
- Pedro's Bicycle Repair Stand
- Park Tool PCS-15

Anyone out there that has used any of these and what is your
satisfaction level?

Thanks.

Emily

Really well made and strong. The legs spread a good bit out, though, so
moving about near the stand can be problematic. If you buy it, wait for for
a deal.

On my budget, I sometimes have to do with less "sexy" solutions. When
I need to tinker with my bike, I hang it on the rack on the trunk of my
car. I realize that's not "kewl" but it works for me.

Hey, that's a great idea. I have one of those cheapo car rear tire bike
racks which I never use. I bet I could mount it on something like a piece
of plywood in the basement, and with the use of a clamp or two to keep the
bike from skooting around it would work just fine as a bike stand.

That's where I often do my wheel truing and brake adjusting (in nice weather,
anyway). Other times I just hang the bike saddle from a rope dropped from a
ceiling hook in the garage. That's a lot faster to set up and takes up less
space than any stand. Another great alternative is a trainer. I have yet to
see a repair stand that allows you to mount & ride the bike while working on
it. This can be very handy when chasing down creaks or drivetrain problems.
