Almost decided to get one of these, any feedback on them?
Are these stable when tilting the bike forwards or backwards?

I have one, its ok fairly solid, more so than a couple of mates stands. But being quite tall I find I can't really lift a bike high enough to work on it comfortably (not sure any can, but if I was to buy another it would be something I look for).

I have a PCS9 and I love it. Same but different head I think. I have a very uneven floor and the three legs work really well.

Also have a PCS9, really solid, folds up neatly.
Had it a while now, it just works.

I've the PCS9, been faultless. Very stable.

Kind of wished I'd got one that folded up like the Feedback Sports stand.

I have a PCS 10, used a lot of PCS9's and 10's in my workshops and prefer the head of the 10. The PCS 9 rubber wedge can get a bit stuck if you're looking to rotate the bike.

It's great for general repairs, though I think for BB work for example, where you require a lot of downward force, it'd be better to get a bb supported one.

Happy with mine. It has a large footprint.

Very happy with mine, got it cheap as an ex display model from Evans.
It just works.

I got one for my birthday. It's very good for a folding stand, nice and solid. I just wish the handle for tilt was easier to get to and not round the back. It doesn't fold as easily as my previous stand either, but I don't often do that so it's no bother.

Had a 9, it wasn't as easy to put away as the 10.

Great deal on it here from my [url= http://www.summittosea.co.uk/park-tool-pcs10-home-mechanic-workstand.ir?cName=cycling-cycle-components-accessories-tools-workshop-tools-workstands-workstands-accessories ]local store[/url]

If only....

but I'd rather his business stays around, I can buy stuff and get a good coffee at the same time without having to drive for 30 minutes and find somewhere to park.

Love mine, just ordered one for my brother for christmas, currently £99 delivered on amazon (cheaper than CRC!)

You can get them from CRC for the same price as Amazon (£99.99 delivered) if you use their Black Friday code at checkout which gives £15 off £99+. This offer appears to end 4pm on Tuesday 2nd December, so not just for today - which is confusing as they've called it a Black Friday offer...

Anyway there is a choice for those looking for an alternative to Amazon for the same price. There may of course be others but I'm not aware.

Glad i have seen this, was umming and erring between the PCS9 and 10 but think i will get the 10 based on this information.

Best bit is i can get it for only £81 which is a bonus, which is why i was looking t upgrading 🙂
