I don't have that one specifically, but I have their Sprint work stand and their wheel truing stand. Both are very well engineered, quality products.

I have this as my everyday stand, I got it due to the footprint, as it fits the available workspace I have, although it doesn't pack up that small. It's well made, sturdy, but non-adjustable for height, although I can live this this due to where it's used.

I have a pro-elite model which I use daily. It serves me well and hassle free. I would recommend spending a little more and getting something a little higher up the product echelon such as :

https://www.amazon.com/Feedback-Sport...eedback+sports

it has greater adjustablity and should be more stable....both of which tend to be highly desirable features.

We have a couple of those stands at the charity shop where I volunteer. They're decent, although I'm not fond of the clamp: it takes too long to tighten IMO, and gets awkward supporting a 40# BSO with one arm and trying to tighten the clamp with the other. I prefer the quick lever action of the Park clamp:



The Feedback stand is also quite light, which makes it a bit unstable with a 40# BSO clamped in it. But if your bikes are modern, lightweight bikes, you might not have a problem with either of these issues.

Thank you all for your information! I just have to figure out what I'm willing to spend.

I just realized that I DO have that stand. I bought it from Performance, it's just not marked as Feedback Sports. It's a minimal stand and sturdy enough. No issues for light use on a steel or aluminum frame. I changed to the Sprint stand for my CF frame, but still use the Rec stand for my aluminum hybrid. I agree with JohnDThompson that the clamp isn't the best, but usable.
