In a bit more classy-looking gold and platinum ano, Feedback Sports looks back at 20 years of making tools with this limited 20th anniversary edition of their iconic red Pro Mechanic Repair Stand. A benchmark in lightweight, travel-ready bike work stands for professional and amateur wrenches alike, the Feedback Pro Mechanic gets a unique commemorative look. But they made just a thousand, so maybe snap one up quick!
Feedback 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Pro Mechanic repair stand
Founded back in 2004 in Golden, CO with the hanging Alpine Digital Scale (still available today), it was four years later that Feedback Sports’ lightweight folding repair stands made their debut. Still 20 years later, Feedback is a small family-owned and operated company. And still in Golden. Still supporting the local bicycling community, and building repair stands, trainers, and tools sought out by amateur cyclists and professional cycling teams around the world.
“Despite our prevalence at the Pro Tour, World Cup, and Olympic level, our products are made for Any Bike, Every Rider. Mechanics and cyclists at all levels benefit from the lightweight, compact, and portable designs we create. Any Bike. Every Rider.”
Tech details
The limited edition stand features the same new one-handed metal spinner knob and new replaceable rubber clamp jaw pads as the recently updated Pro Mechanic. Plus the higher holding power internal clutch for better 360° rotating bike repair positioning.
Otherwise, it’s the proven 6061-T6 aluminum construction, quick-release telescoping design, and 3-leg folding tripod base with more stable rubber feet. It quickly packs down to 13x26x115cm, with a claimed light weight of 5.7kg/12.6lb.
What’s new or different in the limited edition?
For the most part, this is the same proven and beloved Feedback Pro Mechanic repair stand – just renamed/upgraded last spring. Only, now with unique gold and platinum anodizing and gold logos to look extra nice.
But, the 20th anniversary edition does add a couple of small new details. Functionally, the clamp’s release button which is usually just red plastic, is now machined aluminum here, in matching gold ano. Plus, the anniversary stand also adds a badge commemorating 20 years of tool making.
Feedback 20th Ltd Pro Mechanic stand – Pricing & availability
The Feedback Sports Limited 20th Anniversary Pro Mechanic repair stand sells for $450 / 480€. That is a bit more that the standard red & black Pro Mechanic stand. But this 20th Anniversary stand also includes the padded travel bag. That would have otherwise cost you an extra $42, essentially mooting the difference in cost anyway.
Now, Feedback made just 1000 20th Anniversary Pro Mechanic repair stands. That likely won’t sell out in an instant. But if you need a new lightweight, travel-ready repair stand? Now is the time to head into your local bike shop or directly to FeedbackSports.com to get one while they are still available.
