Cheap Solution for Repairing Bikes

One thing that I learned this weekend is that a bike stand is an invaluable tool in bike repair. I'm too cheap to buy a nice repair stand so I opted for a cheap bike rack from Harbor Freight Tools. Don't get me wrong the cheap bike rack is not a decent replacement for a real bike repair stand. However it is a whole world of awesome when compared to nothing.

One major disadvantage of the bike rack is that it just has Velcro straps for holding the bike in place. Where as a real repair stand would have an adjustable clamp that can alternately clamp onto the top tube or the seat tube. Another disadvantage of the bike rack is that the height is not adjustable. I'll probably break down an get a real repair stand one day, but until then the bike rack will at least hold my bikes off the ground while I try to work on them.
