I've got an older version Feedback;the weight and size were the deciding factors over a Park. I've used it for 5 seasons and like 1.3k+ bikes at my clinic(to be fair,most get hung by the saddle,not clamped). It's showing some wear on the plastic feet,and many scratches,but it's still rock solid,the clamp works perfectly,and there's no slippage on the telescoping bits. Like twice a year I'll check the screws on the slider clamps,but that's all I've ever done to it. Would get another if something happened to this one.
