Product Information
Full details
The Feedback Sports Pro Mechanic HD is designed for professional mechanics and dedicated home enthusiasts who need a robust, reliable solution for servicing heavy modern bicycles, including e-bikes and cargo bikes. Its key benefit is the combination of extreme chassis stiffness and a rapid-action ratcheting clamp that makes securing heavy bikes fast and secure. While it offers industry-leading stability and portability, its premium build quality and professional feature set represent a significant investment compared to entry-level consumer repair stands.

FAQs
Does this stand work with heavy e-bikes?
Yes, it is specifically engineered to handle the increased weight and frame sizes of modern electric and cargo bikes.
How much does the stand weigh?
The Pro Mechanic HD weighs approximately 18 lbs.
What is the folded size for storage?
It folds down to a compact 5 x 8 x 45 inch footprint.
Can I use this for carbon fiber bikes?
Yes, provided you adjust the clamp force properly to avoid crushing, the rubber pads help provide a non-marring, secure hold.
What is the maximum clamp opening?
The clamp opens to 2.6 inches to accommodate large-diameter frame tubes.
Is the stand stable on dirt or grass?

Troubleshooting
Clamp feels sluggish or slow to ratchet
Clean any accumulated dirt or chain lube from the internal ratcheting gear inside the clamp housing.
Stand wobbles on uneven floor
Adjust the tripod base tension knob to ensure all three legs are fully extended and firmly locked in their primary support position.
Clamp jaw won't hold the frame securely
Check the condition of the rubber inserts. If they are heavily worn or greasy, wipe them down or replace them with new pads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the stand, loosen the leg tension knob to open the tripod base until it locks securely into position. The `Speed Ratchet HD` clamp is intuitive: simply slide the jaw to the desired width and turn the crank to tighten. To release, push the quick-release button for instant decompression.
Compatibility: This stand is compatible with virtually all bicycle frame types, including aero shapes and oversized tubes, provided the tube diameter is within the 2.6-inch limit.
Care: Keep the moving parts of the ratcheting clamp clean and free of debris. Wipe down the aluminum tubing after use to remove grease and road grime. If the rubber clamp pads become worn or damaged, they are replaceable, ensuring the longevity of your stand.
