Dero or Fixation
 
Does anyone have experience either using or buying and installing the Dero or Fixation public bike workstations/pumps?

any input would be appreciated.

I think i got our facilities director's interest in this, once he understood no electricity was involved

One of the bike clubs in our area installed pump and workstation at one of the trail heads in my city. It has been there for quite a while, but I can't guess how long. It looks very similar to the Dero fixit, but until you posted this topic, I always thought it was home-made. I'll have to look closer next time I'm near it.

I've never needed it, but my Son did use the pump once. It worked is all I can say. I was glad to see all the different tools available that I don't carry with me.

I know of a couple of places in Fort Worth you could contact for feedback on whatever publicly accessible bike workstations they're using.

Trinity Chapel Bible Church -- They host a bike workstation, water and benches for cyclists on the popular Trinity Trails and Bellaire Drive route. I'm assuming the church itself provided the workstation, although it's possible it was provided by one of the multipartite organizations that jointly administer the Trinity Trails. I've used that workstation a few times for minor derailer and brake adjustments. The air pump is often balky due to misuse of the chuck, but the rest of the tools are always intact.

The Chat Room -- a pub in the Magnolia/Fairmount district. They've had a bike workstation on the patio for years. I've never used it but it looks sturdy enough.

I've heard about other workstations scattered along the trails but those are the two I know of.

Hope that helps.
