Tandem repair stand, what to buy?
Its about time to look for a repair stand as i am fighting to keep a couple of tandems on the road. Enuf getting someone to hold the thing or leaning it against a chair etc. But of course ...
what kind to get?
Nashbar and Performance have a cheap $50 stand; is this sufficient or will the thing fall over. Are tandems supported on a stand the way other bikes are, or do they need something different.
The two tandems i work on are a Schwinn Duo sport from the 80's and a Northwoods cheapo MTB tandem. Not looking for expensive but cheap and good enuf, even if i have to have someone hold the stand.
Perhaps someone has a success/horror story on repair stands and tandems?
thanks
Duo
