Bike Repair Stand
Cycling is not an expensive hobby. You have your bike, bike clothes, helmet, sports water bottle, bike repair tools and the Park Tool PCS-10 Mechanic Repair Stand. Once you have all this stuff your pretty much set.
Within that short list many people would say that they have no need for a bicycle work stand. They believe they can do all their maintenance with the bike propped up against a wall or a chair.
I doubt that any basic maintenance can be achieved without having the wheels off the ground. What most people do in this case is actually turn their bike upside down with the wheels facing the sky. By doing this the handlebars and saddle can get scratched or damaged very easily.
Anyway, how are you supposed to work on the bike in that way? How can you change gears if you can't even reach the levers on the handlebars?
What I found when I used to do this is that I would get sore knees and a sore back from all the bending and kneeling. This can't be good for you! A popular bike stand like the Park Tool PCS-10 can help you avoid any discomfort when repairing your bike.
There are so many more advantages to owning a bike repair stand, especially if it is a Park Tool bike stand.
If you like to rebuild bikes for fun or know someone who does then a top quality bicycle work stand is a must. The amount of time and effort a stand can save you is amazing.
A bike stand like the Park Tool PCS-10 Mechanic Repair Stand will also save you money. To keep your cycle in tip top condition you will need to maintain and clean it regularly. Many people get their bike maintained at a bicycle shop and pay good money for the service.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to own your own bike rack and go through the basic maintenance steps yourself? Finally you can be independent of high priced bike shops.
If you have kids who are always crashing or breaking something off on their bikes then being a regular at the local bike shop will become costly in the end.
Amazing Features of The Park Tool PCS-10
* The Park Tool PCS-10 is an upgrade from the PCS-9 Home Mechanic Repair Stand to make set up, take down, and use faster and easier.
* Clamping pressure is fully adjustable and can rotate making for a convenient working position. It has a composite top tube for smooth 360-degree clamp rotation. The jaw covers are also replaceable.
* Quick release height adjustment, (99 to 145-centimeter). Working on the bikes at a comfortable height is a huge improvement. It is tall enough to hold the bike at a level that does not require stooping or sitting to get access to the bottom bracket and rear cassette. No back pain!
* Cam-type clamp allows single action clamping of tubes (24 to 76-millimeter)
* Has excellent stability with the three-point leg system with reinforced center yolk.
* Works well with many recumbents and bikes with odd shaped tubing.
* Folds up very solidly for storage or transport. Folds to 41" (104cm).
* To complement the bike stand and make life easier Park Tool has some additional products such as the tool tray or tool box kit. All available with Park Tool.
