[RBW] Re: Leah Peterson Takes A Stand

[dougP]

I also used to do the eye bolt & strap set-up.  Simple & no storage 
issues.  My wife called it "bicycles in bondage".  

The downside to this is the bicycle swinging side to side as you work on 
it.  I'm now a firm believer in work stands.

[RBW] Re: WTB - 60cm Appaloosa in Silver - FFHS only

[Grady Wright]

Hello Marty, 
I don't believe a Silver 60cm Appaloosa exists. At least not yet. The 60CM 
size was a new size for the last group of Appaloosas and they came in 
Orange and Blue. To my knowledge Silver frames in your size range would be 
a 58 or 62cm. Hopefully that little bit of info helps you track down a 
bike. I bought an orange 60cm last year at this time. It's a really great 
bike, I hope you find one. 

Regards

Re: [RBW] Re: Leah Peterson Takes A Stand

[Leah Peterson]

Joe - thanks. I figure why put off the inevitable. I needed sealant, time to 
stop dreading and start doing.

Ben - for heaven’s sake go get a stand! I can’t imagine you doing all that 
maintenance upside down and backwards! Your back!!! And then report back here. 
You will be in heaven, and you deserve this more than I do with my limited 
capabilities. Think of the gas money, time and labor fees you will save since 
you won’t be tempted to haul your bike to the shop. Yes, this one’s easy.

Re: [RBW] Re: Leah Peterson Takes A Stand

[Ben Mihovk]

I'm inspired to take a stand as well, Leah. I've always worked on my bikes 
"Pasadena style" and I hate it because everything's flipped backwards, I 
have a tendency to drop tools (and one of them took a healthy chip out of 
the paint on the underside of my top tube/head tube lug), and it's hard to 
test shifting with inboard thumbies when the bike is upside down, and 
sitting on the ground to work on my bike KILLS my back. I haven't done a 
deep clean/lube on my drivetrain yet...and I"m just dreading doing it with 
the bike upside down. I've been tempted to take the Atlantis to a bike shop 
to have them do a full tune up when winter is over here. I'm thinking you 
have inspired me to take that money and put it towards a stand instead.

[RBW] Re: Leah Peterson Takes A Stand

[Fullylugged]

Hi Leah:

I have used the Minoura RS-5000 for years.  Similar to the Park, but 
includes a tray that is handy to put tolls and especially small bits you 
remove and need to re install.  The head rotates to clamp a top tube or 
seat post.  When working on a bike like a Clem L, a TT carry bar is very 
handy. That way, you don't have to un do saddle bags or pull out the seat 
post. I also have a little bar that goes in the clamp and lets me hang the 
bike by the saddle, which is very quick and easy for simple things.  There 
is a less expensive saddle only stand too.
