Do you have a bike repair stand?



A bench mounted work stand well under 100AU & Shimano's PRO workstand about 200AU & folds away in a bag & even light enough for domestic air travel for a club team, but for 25 bucks or so the foldup model above is good for quick cleanups & gear tunes.
 
The traditional clamp style repair stands are not necessarily the best solution for the fragile carbon frames / carbon seat tubes. ParkTool, Tacx and Elite all make stands that do not clamp the bike, but the frame rests on top of the stand instead.

Don't you mean make do rather than make "due" - it that American English?

"it that" - are you seriously making a spelling error in your criticism of someone else's spelling error?
