Holding my bike in place while scrubbing hard to reach places and holding the bike at the perfect level when I sat down to pick away at the old decals. The features on this repair stand include: Micro-adjustable clamp allows quick entry and exit and fits seat posts of any shape and material, height adjustable from 39″ to 57″ using convenient quick-release lever, all-steel structure with durable textured powder coat finish, folds quickly, easily and compactly for storage, and the Park Tools tray that has several holes for different sized tools.
