Love my Feedback Sport Sprint but it bugged me that I can't work on the front wheel unless I attach the bike via the rear dropouts.
Became obvious when installing and setting up the front brakes on a new build.
OK, this is only a 30 min. botch job from some scrap I had laying around, consider this a prototype!
Works perfect, it holds the bike almost as tight as clamping it by front dropouts; attaching the whole thing takes not even a minute.
I did have to reverse the release mount because otherwise the tire would have interfered with the big plastic wing nut that secures the mount (don't see any downside though).
Don't think it's necessary but I might add some tensioning mechanism to the arms if I decide to make a full metal version.
I would also modify it so the metal blades will go between the hub and the fork, rather than on the outside where they slightly interfere with the wheel retention tabs.
Time to sell my Park PCS-10 ;)
BTW, I still think this forum needs a DIY section!
Pictures should be self-explanatory (and make it pretty obvious that I had some help :)).
