I'm considering one of the above bike stands, but can't decide on which one - I believe they're both about the same weight, the PCS-10 perhaps a little lighter and folds more compact. The PCS-10 is also easier to use with the provision of quick-releases rather than screw-type clamps, but there is quite a difference in price between them and I'm wondering which one to go for.

Can any of your PCS-9 and PCS-10 owners help me decide?

TIA

I have not used the Park repair stand because I saw this one for less ($99.98)and since its foldable it makes it real easy you use out on the trail or race day. I have use it for about 3 months with my MTB and it holds up very well, even with the front wheel still on.

Go with the PCS-10. The QR on the clamp makes use much easier and it is a great stand. They are easy to find for $135 or less including delivery. I figure the few bucks you may save will be forgotten before long but the convenience will be remembered every time you use the stand.

I have the PCS-9. It is the one with the crank-close clamp, and it works well, no problem at all. I kept the box, and keep the stand disassembled in the box when it is not in use. It is easy to assemble and disassemble and heavy enough to keep the bike steady when I am wrenching.

Thanks for all your feedback and advice folks, I think I'll go for the PCS-10 as it is that much easier to use.
