Yeah! Great effort everyone - I think the space will really benefit from offering this facility. And I can finally adjust those gears properly 😀

Any one good at doing gears?  
Fancy doing a workshop?

Always wanted to be able to do this but always made them worse and end up taking it in for a service.

This arrived today, but I’m on my bike. Next time I’m on the train I’ll bring it in.

Oops! Looks like I didn’t notify the thread. This arrived in the space last week but I got it set up today. It’s pretty sturdy, folds up neatly, and is self-explanatory to use. Just be sure to clamp your bike as close to the centre of gravity as possible.

Here’s a terrible photo. I was able to adjust my brakes without breaking my back 🙂

It’s leaning against the back of the metalwork shelves
