Which bike repair stand will fit the MATE X Bike? - Park Tools PCS 10.3 / 10.2

I get asked which bike repair stand fits the Mate X A LOT. I used to just turn my bike upside down to work on it. But I was doing a lot of work on the bikes a few months ago I did some research and picked up the Park Tools PCS 10.3 stand and it makes things so much easier.

In this video I’ll go through the stand, the differences between this and PCS 9.3 and how I mount my bike to the stand to work on it. On a side note the PCS 10.2 and 9.2 are pretty much the same and will also hold this.

Disclaimer: I bought this stand with my own money with no discounts from the manufacturer to make this video, nor did park tools know I was making this video or had any preview or editorial say in what went into it…

In short I’m making this video as I had a lot of questions about what I was using and I really like the product.

Amazon affiliate links below if you want to buy a repair stand for your bike, which won’t cost you anything extra but helps me make more videos like this one. As mentioned in the video, you don’t need one of these stands (especially if you don’t do much work on your bike) but it does make it easier.

Cheaper alternatives to Park Tools that other people are using with their MATE X bikes.

Rad Cycle stand - I’ve seen a few people using this… but it’s only rated to 30kgs so it’ll hold but only just - I personally wouldn’t trust it - https://amzn.to/3jZyu4z

Any other suggestions leave them in the comments and I’ll update the description as I see more.
