repair stand question
I may be in the market for a relatively cheap bicycle repair stand.
Are there any which allow immobilizing the cranks (so that removing pedals etc gets easier)? |

Just tie the crank arm to the stay... Actually, if you're lucky, you don't even need this. Have the wrench not quite parallel to the crank arm, then squeeze them together. (Not always possible to have this alignment, and sometimes a pedal is too tight for this. Othewise...) |

A toestrap works well for immobilizing a part of a bike in a stand. For pedals, get your wrench in line with the crank and hold the other crank in your other hand. That multiplies leverage siginificantly. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
