The Grinder 157: Granite Quiver, Madison DTE jacket, Feedback Sports Pro HD Repair Stand and more

my feedback stand is amazing. I use it with a silca insert thingy to clamp my carbon frames. top marks.

Had my Feedback bike stand for around 15 years now, although its labelled up as a different / previous brand name, it gets used pretty much every weekend for cleaning if not fixing and building. The clamp head is just starting to fail, no too bad for the work its done over the years. I wouldn’t be without it, saved my back over the years for sure. The clip on tool tray accessory is a must too, even has a mug / beer can holder.

Looking at getting replacement clamp head for it when I have a spare £250! and if I can figure out how to get the existing one off.

I have a Wrench Force stand bought by my parents for my 18th birthday which I think was the design bought out by Feedback. Like Jef the clamp head is now failing. I am 45 so think I need to excuse that.

Feedback stand, tick! It really is that good.

Also, the Juice Lubes Hand Juice is a first class product. The walnut bits really make the difference and help lift off the grime.

Both great products IMO.

You’re probably going to need another stand to hold the stand when you’re doing this 🙂

Given that one of the main advantages of the Hiplock thing is that it’s supposedly resistant to angle grinder attack thanks to a special outer layer of stuff – ‘Ferosafe, a composite graphene material ‘ it says here – it would be useful if you could try angle-grinding it and see how well it works in practice.

Feedback stand – also tick! Think it was called Ultimate Sports or something when I bought it, but it came with a Feedback Sports sticker on it. This was about 20 years ago and it is still going strong. Clamp is getting a little worse for wear but still very usable. Can’t believe they’re £500! Mind you, I think I paid £150-200 for it back then. Got a lot of stick for that, but one mate who took the wotsit has gone through about 4 stands in that time.
