Carrying pro bike mechanic equipment to consumers for home use, Park Tool has long offered great workstands that wouldn't be out of place in a shop or home garage. The PCS-4-1 Repair Stand has a lighter weight steel, somewhat foldable base stand with Parks' pro-style 100-5C Adjustable Linkage Clamp. With 360° rotation and a 4" wide opening the 100-5C features solid cast aluminum construction and durable replaceable clamp covers. The clamp system has relief channels on both jaws for cable routing, and features replaceable jaw covers.

The PCS-4-1 has fixed 90° base legs that fold together, but not up, making it perfect for leaning or storage against a wall when folded. The fixed base feet extend back behind and forward of the legs for excellent stability on flat surfaces. While decent as a travel stand, keep in mind that a flat firm surface is required. Many shops use the PCS-4-1 as a supplemental stand for expos, onsite events, test ride checks, and even as a back-up or additional shop stand.

The upright adjustable extension allows you to quickly set a clamping height from 51" to 68" from the floor surface. When open and set-up the base forms a 26½" x 28" square. Construction wise, the rock solid, four-point leg system that folds together for storage, and fixed half of the upright section is made of steel powder coated tubing. A composite horizontal tube adjusts out from that extension and is controlled by a composite friction collar with an oversized quick release mechanism.... Read More
