Top Five Reasons to Use a Bike Repair Stand

by social expert Writer

As anyone who has done much cycling will know bike repairs are par for the course no matter what type of biking you are into. Running to the local bike shop for every minor repair can be annoying and not to mention very costly.

If you have any interest in doing your own bicycle repairs there is one main tool that is highly recommended to get... a bike repair stand.

Some people have used their creativity skills and attempted to make a functioning home-made stand. However I have rarely seen a home-made stand that really functioned as it should. If you can spring for a few bucks you can get a good quality, stable and easy to use bike repair stand that will benefit you in numerous ways.

Once you do invest in one you will never look back. Below are the top 5 reasons to use a proper repair stand for all your bicycle maintenance including cleaning your bike.

You Will Save a Lot of Money

Most home mechanic repair stands are not very expensive. Even the really good quality ones such as the Park Tool PCS-10 comes at a very affordable price. If you are used to taking your bike to the local bike shop for all your repairs you will be pleasantly surprised by how much money you will save by doing your own minor repairs.

Stability

The worse thing about using a home-made contraption or worse no stand at all is that you will not have the stability needed to efficiently work on your bike. Keeping your bike stable and still is the most important aspect of doing any type of maintenance. Not all stands are created equal and some will provide more stability than others. Typically the larger the base stand, the more stable it will be.

Efficiency and Convenience

If you are trying to hold your bike with one hand while doing repairs with the other all the while adjusting, shifting and lifting what needs to be done you are going to have some problems. Bottom line is your repairs will not be done efficiently if at all and you will get frustrated. A proper bike repair stand will save you time, energy and a lot of head aches.

Allows Any Person to be a Pro Mechanic

One of the greatest things about doing your own bike repairs is that you will absolutely have better knowledge about how your bike works and every little nitty gritty detail about it. If your ride isn't as smooth as you would like it to be you will have far more working knowledge of how to fix that if you work on the bike yourself.

Can be Used for Easy Cleaning

Cleaning your bike can be a very messy job. If you attach your bike to the repair stand you will find cleaning your bike to be far less back breaking. The clamp of the stand will hold the bike steady while you easily brush away all the dirt and grime from even hard to reach places.
