Just picked up this lovely VAR tool #907, repose chaine - chain holder. It's definitely my new favourite workshop bit of kit!

Loving this, need to get me one of those!

Some really neat Tacx tools

Workshop wheel jig

 

[markoc]

A Park workstand (other brands are available, but less blue and swanky)

How I managed 25+ years of mucking about with bikes without one I will never know. Game changer.

Certainly the tool that brings the most instant joy when I have cause to use it.

The Park RT-1 that is (couldnt get a good pic). Never used a Soyuz, I can imagine the buzz from that is quite a bit larger.

Our kestrel engineering stands punt our blue boys into the weeds.


Some are 30 years old, 5 bikes a day through there.

Get spares tomorrow.

Some modernisation of the design could enable better grip on those flimsy plastic bikes with funny shapes and delicate paint jobs the office roadies love, but many developments seem to come with unintended disadvantages.
