Watch: The $50 Bike Repair Stand – Quality or Crap?

I have wanted a repair stand for a quite a while but I’ve held off because I thought they were way too expensive.  I would much rather spend $150-400 on other bike “toys.”  I have found a few creative ways to mount my bike so I can get at the parts easier, including a shower …

Finally, a Pair of Reliable Shoes: The Northwave Outcross Plus Mountain Bike Shoes
