This stand is very well made and is a pleasure to use because of it's well-thought-out design and heavy construction. I feel like the oval steel frame tube is what makes it so functional. Park Tool specified the perfect gauge and diameter of tubing for sturdiness without making the stand ridiculously heavy.One of my bikes is an all-carbon e-gravel bike in X-Large and I would not want to clamp the frame in the clamp for fear of fracturing or causing micro-cracks in the carbon while working on it. It does clamp the solid carbon seat-post just fine but the bike will have a nose-down attitude unless you rotate the bike and clamp the stand's pivot tight to hold the bike level. While this works, it can be a lot of stress on the seat post and seat tube that it may not be designed to take. This is a testament to the strength of the stand, I'm just not sure I want my bike to be under so much torque while wrenching on it.My recommendation for carbon bikes is to either clamp the seat post and leave the bike in a somewhat nose-down attitude where it naturally wants to balance, or do what I did, spend another $150 on the best bike stand accessory ever, the Silca Hirobel Frame Clamp (Google it). This clamps in the Park Tool clamp horizontally and allows the top tube of the bike to cradle on two soft pads. I know it sounds like a lot of money for minimal functionality but it's a must for carbon frames and I would consider it a good purchase for aluminum frames as well. It also makes it easier to mount and unmount heavier bikes from the stand.The other nice accessory I bought that increases the stability of the bike on the stand is the Park Tool handlebar stabilizer, HBH-3. It's $50 but much nicer and more versatile than the bent wire holder that Park Tool also sells. It's very well designed and I use it between the handlebar and the head of the bike stand which holds the handlebars from turning as well as stabilizing the bike on the stand a bit.I know this seems like a lot of money to spend on something that merely holds bikes so they can be worked on, but it takes all the tedium out of cleaning, upgrading and maintaining a bike. I can justify it by the money I DON'T spend by having the work done at a local bike shop.The Park Tool Bike Stand is just as good as I thought it would be with no big disappointments. While it's not sold as a travel stand, it's easy enough to break down small enough that it's practical to throw it in your car if you want to work on your bike somewhere else and are not otherwise cramped for car space.

Stand is high quality and easy to use. Shipping was quick and the item arrived complete and in perfect condition. Makes working on my bike so much easier. Stand is stable, holds the bike securely, and is easy to adjust for whatever position you need. Highly recommend.

There is so much I like about this repair stand but I'll hit the highlights.1.) This is legit heavy duty, it was able to hold my Lectric XPedition which is a heavy cargo e-bike without a single issue, the cheaper ones I tried first would either release at the holder or start to bend.2.) It looks nice, while not all that important the blue is a very nice shade of blue3.) Setup is easy, once its built there is nothing you need to do.4.) Raising and lowering the stand is easy because the screws tighten with your classic pinch clamp and holds firm.5.) The clamping mechanism is easy to use and spins nicely, you can crank on this hard to ensure nothing budges.6.) It folds nice and compact and is easy to store.Things to keep in mind, when unfolded the footprint is pretty large to be able to spread out the weight so you need a decent space when using this.I know people will see the price and think its not worth it, it is, I have tried the cheaper ones and they are nowhere close to this one. This will last you a lifetime.

Feels very solid and works as advertised. Has lots of nice features that make it easy to use. After years of working on my bike either turned upside down on my garage floor or leaned up against the wall - and constantly struggling to get just the right angle or support for whatever I was doing - this feels like a big step up. Maybe now I can keep my drivetrain clean!

The stand is well-designed, sturdy and works perfectly. Easy to assemble when using the on-line video. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with a handlebar holder (stabilizer). It would be great if Park Tool would provide an HBH-2 holder with the stand or provide a nice discount for an HBH-3 when submitting “proof of purchase†for the stand.

This stand is awesome. This stand is sturdy and holds bikes well. It makes the bike repairs much easier.Just make sure you install the bearing washer for the pivot collar between the 2 solid washers. Not that I didn’t do it right, it’s something that can be easily overlooked during the assembly. This stands integrity is exceptional. Glad I purchased it. The word is out that I have one; oh boy….

Bought this to replace a model that supports the bike on the front forks and under the bottom bracket - great stand but needed to remove the front mudguard to get the bike on the stand) which was a pain.The stand is easy to assemble (I used the YouTube video from Park Tools for instructions) strong, stable and has good build quality. It’s quite heavy but does fold down to a manageable size for storage. The gripping mechanism is easy to adjust and operate and keeps the bike reasonably still while working on it. It gets the bike to a good height for me (I am 196cm tall) but I do support the bike on the crossbar.It’s not cheap but it will last for years and will provide value for money over time.Overall, I am very happy with the stand.

Bought a cheap bike stand first but returned it as it felt unstable and weak. This one is very sturdy and give me more confidence to attach my bike to.
