Anybody got anything good/bad to say about the Park PCS-1 workstand. It
doesn't look very stable to me.

Ash

It works great with bikes under 45 pounds.

I have a Park pcs-5 and more or less like it. It folds down and travels
well. It doesn't eat much. But the "Ultimate" line of stands are better,
though. bike loads a lot easier, very stable & light.

It is a little wobbly, but I still use mine all the time for my XC & DH
rigs. If I had it to do over again, I would go for a PCS-4, PCS-5 or
better yet Paladin's suggestion.

I've got an "Ultimate" and it is definately stable and light.

Only place I'd fault it is in the mechanism for tightening/loosening the clamp.
Seems like that little knob *should* work and it *should* release the bike when
the clamp is pulled open after loosenig the knob a little....but all too often
I'm left standing there with my 30-lb monster in one hand - seatpost in the
clamp; clamp loose, but not loos enough to get the seatpost out of it.....

I'd have paid more for a less-sophisticated clamp - like something with just a
lever or something a few inches across that you can give a good twirl.

I like my PCS-5. Like I had been warned about it, the plastic can get a bit
flexy over time, so I don't leave my bike hanging in the air.

Used and abused mine for years (though most of the abuse came in the form of
being stored in a shed for too long once I got the pro shop model for home)

It holds my old tandem quite handily.
