Any recommendations for portable bicycle work stands?

feedback stands have been excellent to me.

Feedback Pro Elite, worth the few extra bucks.

Campmor has them on sale now.

... slung over rafters (or even a tree limb) then hook the nose of a saddle through the loops of the tube. I have an Ultimate stand, however I use the above approach when doing simple cleaning jobs or similar tasks.

Cheers.

I'm with you spinner. We have a clothesline / pole. I have a length of rope I loop around the saddle and wrap over the pole. Great for serious drivetrain cleaning and a hose spray down on the rare occasion. Otherwise it's inside with a feedback pro.

My favorite is the park PRS20. No clamping the seatpost or any tubes.

I actually have the Ultimate (former name of Feedback) version of the Pro-Ultralight (http://feedbacksports.com/shop/Pro-Ultralight-Work-Stand-P2C1.aspx). Lighter and folds up a little more compactly, should you need the portability.

I like the Park Tools repair stands where you take off the front wheel and put it in the quick release on the stands (PRS 20 and PRS 21 (http://www.parktool.com/product/super-lite-team-race-stand-prs-21)).

They're stable, avoid marring the finish on the bike/top tube or seatpost, and are at a comfortable height to work on the drivetrain. Also, you can move around the bike a full 360 to work on it.

+1 on Feedback. I too have the Ultimate one. I bought the tool tray which is nice and also the truing stand that works in better than what I was using. This thread reminded me to order new pads for the jaws.

I have a Wrench Force and it's great.

I was working at PBS and bought one of their Ultimate/Feedback knockoffs.

Works fine. Only thing it doesn't do is the clamp doesn't slide open like the Ultimate/Feedback's does.

Before that, I'd been using a display stand on a tv cart. That worked great for bikes with small downtubes. Not so good with anything OS.
