Things that are Awesome, Series B, Number 3

















The Park Tool PCS-10 Home Repair Stand.

One thing I learned fairly early on in doing some of the basic maintenance I was doing on my bike:  It's really hard (not to mention ineffective) to work on a bike by using the old method of turning it upside down on the garage floor.  I couldn't clean it very well, and even adjusting the seat was a big deal.

I tried hanging it on the bike carrier on the back of the CR-V, but that didn't work very well either.

Enter this tool--and it's heavy, stable, strong enough for anything I might throw at it, and it seems like it'll last forever.  Having quality tools makes these jobs easier.  And as a bonus, my bike is cleaner than it's been since I first bought it.
