how to use a work stand to remove and replace rear wheel?
dumb question
whenever i try to use my work stand [park PCS-10] to remove and replace the rear wheel, i can;t figure it out
i have done it 1000s of times, the 'little kid' way - bike upside down on the ground
that way makes sense
at least the wheel doesn;t fall out when you release the skewer
and you can see how the chain threads around the idlers and whatnot, and where the cogs have to go
on a work stand, it is all upside down and backwards and wants to fall out before you have everything in place and locked
plus i can;t lower the stand enough to just use it to hold the top tube and invert the bike
what i end up doing is either, rotate the bike 120 degrees (180 has bike way too high), which has the rear wheel too high and still at a weird angle,
or just doing it the little-kid way again - but **it;s the thing i do more than anything else, changing tires, and i paid $125 for this work stand!!!!!**
even using a work stand to change the front wheel, is not good, the fork flops, and you still have to hold the wheel up with one hand while trying to tighten the QR with the other. at least there is no chain or cogs, to figure out, too..
@!#$@#$!
maybe use the stand to hold the downtube near the bottom bracket, so it won;t be so high when inverted..?
