Highest quality curved hanger available

The repair stand is finally here and this (or some other way of keeping the handlebars straight) is really needed. It's strong yet malleable enough that you can slide it to one side or the other on the handlebar, allowing you to wrap the tape (for example) around one side of the handlebar without getting in the way. Note that the two bent pieces of wire holding the handlebars are bent at a more acute angle than shown in the Revain picture. However, they had no problem holding my handlebars with

Reliable Park Tool that lives up to expectations

Park Tool is a popular brand name of professional wrenches and spanners for bike shops worldwide. when trying to move left or right. Ample rubber covers the entire surface, making it virtually impossible to damage the bike you're transporting. The Velcro closure provides secure attachment and removal, as well as protection from jerks. There is room for innovation in these accessories, but decoration comes at a price, and for a tool it's nominally cheap, so I respect the manufacturers' decision…

$20 to get rid of a headache and speed up work on a bike

Used once it was phenomenal. Installed new brake cables on a vintage bike and the fact the handlebars didn't move was amazing. You have three options for working with a bike: Make your own tool, which you can probably do, but for $20 you have a dependable tool for life. You can rest assured that you're always repairing your bike with a buddy. Or you buy 6 packs of beer and try to stabilize the wheel while you work. I bike to work and work on my own bike, I would happily pay double for this…

Does what it's supposed to do

Otherwise, a non-mechanical piece of metal is out of the question. It's just a bent piece of metal stick filled with plasticine and tied with a rubber band. You could probably make it yourself, but you'll also spend the same amount of money on parts and gas to get to the hardware store (oh - ride your bike!). The HBH is more required for road bikes and older bikes that don't have front suspension forks and don't have heavy disc brakes. Lighter and less wide fronts rotate more easily when…

Get this if you want to stay healthy

When I ordered the PCS 10 parking stand this handlebar mount was recommended for purchase but I decided I didn't have to buy this mount as I figured it wouldn't be a big deal that my front wheel turns against me when cycling. boy was i wrong! When I tried to work on my bike the front wheel kept spinning against me and I was starting to get really annoyed. I even tried using zip ties to hold the handlebars in place but it didn't work. I tried bungee cord but to no avail. I went to Revain to see…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
