> 3 dayIf you use this vise to clamp on to the seat tube beware because if the frame moves down (vise moves toward the top tube) while in use you will not be able to loosen the cam handle as the cam handle will hit the top tube. The clamp jaws should be longer to maintain clearance for cam handle rotation.

> 3 dayI have 8 bike riders in my house. Always wanted a bike stand. Just didnt want to spend $300+. Happy to find this for less than $200. Paid $179. No more hanging bikes from the rafters in the garage. I chose the PCS-12.2 over the other Park Tools clamp offerings for the following reasons: 1) I wanted a stand that was all metal. Other offerings anywhere near the same price have some plastic. Though, Im sure theyre good quality plastic. 2) I wanted a stand that would hold the bike sufficiently away from the workbench. 3) Price. I also wanted a removable clamp and that could be easily removed to be out of the way when not using it. However, the offering near this price point, violated one of the above criterion. Very happy to find this new model. The cut aways on the top and bottom of the clamp to avoid cables are awesome and I believe common to all Park Tools stands. I was a little confused when I marked the holes on the work bench to mount it and noticed they werent in a square pattern. Looks like there might be some variability in the bottom plate holes. Funny, because I read the same thing with the other more expensive stands. It would appear they have a bad template at the factory. No biggy. Im sure this will last longer than I will. Highly recommended for anyone who works on their own bike and already has a workbench.
