Park Tool PRS-21

New PRS-21

I recently got a Park Tool PRS-21 work stand as a gift. I didn't find a lot of info on it in the realm of mountain biking, and nothing about it for a 6 inch bike. So here are some pictures and initial ideas and impressions.

As you can see I have used one of two mounting positions. This one is done by mounting with the rear QR. I have to currently mount the bike on this way due to there being no 20mm fork option, and only a QR fork. I will be purchasing a Hurricane fork up adapter in hopes or remedying this.

With the front wheel on in the position shown I cannot balance the bike. So the front wheel must be off unless I weight the other side. I don't find this to be an issue considering its easier to mount with both wheels off. Just for added peace of mind I have hung both wheels on the back of the stand. It will balance without the wheels there as well.

So far I am very happy with this stand. It folds into a very compact size for a work stand, weighs very little comparatively to other stands, especially ones this sturdy, allows for different positions and heights, as well as easy compact storage.
