legs look a bit shorter and a narrower angle than the Park PCS 10 or 9.. Do you think it will withstand heavier bikes?

I think so....it is pretty stable...my bike is almost 30LB and had no problem

I'm using it with my Sirus Elite (~28 lb including attachments) and have had no problems. I'm pretty happy with this stand. I've never used the Park products.

This stand is difficult to keep a constant balance. You have to adjust where you clamp it to what part of the bike your working on. It's a good stand for the price tho

Can't vouch for the PCS's, but this has held my old steel tube Colorado mountain bike which is pretty darn heavy. It was a really solid value.

I have mine mounted on a Trek 3500 with no issue. Not sure what the difference in frame would be but I would suspect that you would not have an issue

Hello. With the smaller frame, 15.5", yes, both your feet will touch the ground, but not completely flat. The best is to try the bike at a local bike shop, please make sure it's the smaller frame.

I am 5'2 and have one. It it a stretch to reach the pedals. I have to wear shoes with a thick sole in order for my feet to make the rotation. I find that my back hurts after riding mine because it stretches me to an unnatural position while riding. I have even ordered another seat, which was very expensive, thinking that it might help. So NO, they don't take short people into consideration when building their bikes. If you could lower the seat, it would be ideal.

Though it's contrary to the other posters I have to add my two cents. This rack, while optimal for bikes equipped with disc brakes mounted to the rear of the seatstays, will work just fine on bikes with rim brakes - the legs will just be spaced out wider than the non-disc version.

I just mounted this to a Trek 6000. The only adjustment was to angle it towards the rear wheel so my leg on the pedal would not hit it while riding.

I have two 29s that I put in this rack. It workss best if you load them with the back tire in the rack, side by side, and then use a strap to keep them from rocking too much. Without that, , the bikes will tip. With the strap, works like a charm.

I also think it would. It is pretty small and it will surely serve a slightly bigger bike later on (without gears).

If you have a very light carbon/ aluminum bike then yes maybe. But it's probably best to use a rag or towel and have it clamp on the top tube. If you really need to clamp it to the seat post is recommend a sturdy park tools stand.

Probably but be sure to get the larger unit and you'll just have to position the bike in the right spot as it is arched but it has the clearance.

yes, I have light weight road bikes...and no, the bikes do not touch the ground when tilted

We have both a beach cruiser and a trek mountain bike. Both have 26 inch wheels. Both fit like the rack was made for them. Skinny tire bikes will wobble around a bit. Disk brake bikes won't fit.

From the top pivot you have just 15" to the bottom of the leg. There are three holes to attach so you should have a level rack. On my old Schwinn tandem it looks like the original and is very sturdy.

like the bike a lot, should be OK for you, but I agree will not get you up a hill...you need more power...

They haven't been an issue for me, but I adjusted the horizontal cross arm with the clamp on it out pretty far. I mainly did that so I can run the pedals and shift gears with the bike on the stand without the pedal on the stand side running into the vertical bar. I guess the added benefit of adjusting the bike farther away from the rack is that it keeps the stand legs out of the way also. The stand they show in the picture does not have the legs fully extended. When they are, it's a really wide base and I haven't had any issues with it wanting to tip over. I'm usually putting a MTB with 29" wheels on it so it's pretty heavy. I've also used the stand in my back yard on uneven surfaces and it's still pretty solid.

couple years since I bought mine. It angles up from the post as I have a short frame bike. I love it!! very handy and the easy to remove feature is great if storing the bike or in sketchy neighborhoods.

I don't have one to try on to see, but I don't think it will. I've had a 26" bike on the trainer and don't think you could go much smaller than that.
