Ever since I got my Tetra last spring, I've never been happy with my bike stand. It was an Ultimate Consumer stand (BRS-70 I believe)and did a great job. The only problem was my seatpost doesn't extend far enough from the frame for the jaw clamps to fit.
I was forced to choose between clamping a carbon tube (yikes!) and messing with my saddle height every time I needed to work on the bike. I didn't like either.
Last fall I saw the new Park PRS-20 and thought it was the answer. I sold my stand and picked up the Park last week.
So, after a week of use, I give it a thumbs-up. It is heavy and stable, and it's easy to work on a bike. It does solve the problem I had with clamping. The only thing I don't like about it is the bike isn't as stable laterally as in a clamp stand. I haven't done anything yet that involves some real cranking, so I don't know exactly how it will perform.
First impressions though... if you're in the same boat as me as far as a clamp stand. Seriously look at the PRS-20.
