+1 to this. I got my son one years back and now I finally have the Feedback equivalent of my own and have been very pleased.I've had an ultimate-pro (now feedback) for years, it's great, easy to break down and take places, etc.
well I dont . . . tripod are usually NOT very stable with heavy bike and having 3 legs can often be very annoying when moving around the bike...takes a lot more spaceReally like the Feedback stand...
I feel the same way. My roommate in college had the feedback and it was great for road bikes but I couldn't imagine using one exclusively for DH bikes. I've seen at least 15 DH bikes fall over while in Feedback stands.well I dont . . . tripod are usually NOT very stable with heavy bike and having 3 legs can often be very annoying when moving around the bike...takes a lot more space
Get a Park tool or a Pedros...end of the story
Ive broken two clamps on this stand. Happens when you work on the bike in an unnatural position like pulling the back wheel up so the bike is vertical. Lucky Performance has a "100% Satisfaction Guarantee..." I've had the stand replaced two times over the last 5 years.Spin doctor pro g3. I use it almost every day for DH bikes exclusively. No problem whatsoever. Portable as well. Got mine at performance bike on sale last year. It's on sale right now as well. Normally 200, on sale for 130.

Def a winner - I may go back to Park someday; I have a FeedBack Ultimate Pro Titanium 11.0 and it's awesome, but you need to be wary of bike position depending on what you're doing. The park bases sort of preload the weight, and may wobble, but I never flipped my PRS-5 at all, and my FB is a tip monster.I've got a park prs-15. Probably more than you would want to spend, but it can handle a dh bike no problem. Folds up pretty nicely for storage and transport too.
You can even beat this looooooooooow price, by doing it yourself !Needs to be freestanding. Not worried so much about portability, rather stability and quality - without breaking the bank. Did a search, but found no recent info. Thanks for any reco.
