Hey guys, if this is in the wrong section please let me know or a mod can move it.

This is regarding my Park Tool PCS-9 bike repair stand. One thing I found was lacking on this stand was height adjustment.

I made the mistake of buying the Park Tool 106-AC collar but found it a flawed design so I researched into what the better Park Tool bike stands have as a height adjustable collar and modified my original PCS-9 collar for quick release.

All it took was a seat post clamp quick release skewer and a few minutes of my time.

I figured I'd share this in case somebody else want this easy to do feature.

I had an old seat clamp and followed your instructions and it works perfectly. I didn't have a spring but apparently mine works great without it.
Thanks again for some great advice.

No problem, glad it was able to help somebody :-).

The spring I don't think will have much benefit since the QR shaft is all threaded and tight in the plastic. I haven't noticed a difference with or without it.

I happen to have a PCS-9 and an extra seatpost QR. I'll have to give this a shot. Thanks for sharing!

No problem. Hope you got it working. Can't believe how awesome and helpful this is when added to the stand.

I found the head rotation tends to stick , though with a Lever , like the bike in it

they will move , just step 1 is un sticking it, then rotating it next , then clamping it, re sticking it .

The head rotation, as in the bike clamp? If so, I find it really annoying and I have the same thing that I deal with.

me too

Let me know how it works out for you.

I'd think most seatpost QR shafts should be a similar diameter and it should work.

Hi OP,

I'd love to convert my pcs-9 stand to this seat post clamp. Your video link is not working. Can you please send me updated link?
