Best bike repair stands | Cyclingnews

If you watch any bike race you’ll probably catch a glimpse of a few hardworking mechanics keeping the finest race machines in tip-top condition atop one of the best bike repair stands. You’ll never see a mechanic working on a bike that’s been flipped upside down on the floor – and neither should you. 

Previously don’t flip your bike upside down was one of those unwritten rules that perhaps had more of a basis in gatekeeping than anything practical, although it certainly helps avoid any damage to your saddle, bar tape and levers.
