bike repair stand?

[mntlion]

I've used the park adjustable linkage clamp on the shop stands for many years. and I love it. Can use with one hand, fast to open, stays closed, adjustable pressure,



but I can't find that type of clamp, from park, on a portable stand that is a folding tri-pod.



1) does that combo exist?

2) how is this clamping as a second? (PARK PRS-15)

Yes, this combo does exist. I have one. I bought it four years ago, so I'm not sure if they still make them or not. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name. It's not a tripod, but two L-shaped legs that fold together with an extending top section. It's compact enough to fit in my Subaru on road trips and stable enough to hold my Demo 9 without a problem. I'll get the name for you later.

I've got that style, it holds good but is a bit of a pain of in the ass. I think the threads are too small and it requires a ridiculous # of turns to get it to clamp once you've spun it open to fit over the tube.

it exists, used one of the sort the past few years, but not at my rents house anymore so dont know the name or serial number

I'm not that keen on the 2 leg system, seen too many fall over on rough ground etc.

playharder: thats what I was thinking.

dallread: please let me know what it is called. tripod and good clamp

I'm a bit like you and like what I like. The older style park clamps are the bomb. I've used the PRS-15 quite a bit and like it now that I am used to it. The PRS-20 and 21 (21 is much lighter if that matters, same clamp) took some getting used to as they don't clamp the seat post / tube. Pretty standard now and nice on light weight exotic frame / post material. Park used to make a portable race stand w/ the older clamp. They went to the PRS-15 to save weight. You may find one of the originals on Ebay or someplace.
