Why Pro Riders and Mechanics Choose Feedback Sports

Lightweight, portable, functional and durable: these characteristics set our tools and repair stands apart from the rest. As the traveling circus of the Tour de France makes its way around the countryside, the staff has to pack up every morning, travel to the next stage, and set up again for athlete and equipment service.

Your needs might not be exactly the same, but if the professionals trust our products, you can too.

The Sprint Dropout-Style Repair Stand Dominates the Tour for a Reason

Ignore for a moment their sartorial choices and take note of professional Tour mechanics' preference for the Sprint repair stand. In their extensive experience, it's better for these reasons:

• 360-degree access to the bike, unhindered by the telescoping mast of a seatpost clamp repair stand.
• Supreme stability, thanks to the bike's mass being centered directly over the repair stand tripod.
• Higher working height, as the drivetrain of the bike can be raised to 45", higher than most seatpost clamp repair stands
• Compact folded size and light weight, for easy travel.
• Rapid deployment when it's time for bike service after an event.  

So Simple and Yet So Essential 

Tour mechanics do more bike washes in a month than most folks will do in a year. Every day, every bike gets a bath . . . that's anywhere from 10 to 40 bike washes in a day, depending on what the course and weather has done.

The most efficient way to wash a bike is to drop the wheels and scrub the chain and cogs separately. And the most efficient way to do this is with a Thru Axle Chain Keeper.

This little pulley is so simple and yet so essential for effective bike washing. Most mechanics will have 3-4 of these so there's always one at hand.
