This post is aimed at those that keep their bikes super clean and trailworthy.. Yes, you know who you are!.. Just a normal run of the mill service but as we can't backpedal the chainset it's a bit of a pain to do.
Yes I have a bike stand, and yes I can use that but in my small garage i have a car, 2 bikes, a lawn mower, leaf blower, rotovator, tools cabinet and much more so stand is packed away and not so easilly accessible.
What i realy need is a small, inexpensive, and did i say SMALL, prop stand that will lift the wheel off of the ground and allow pedaling to oil the chain. I have seen some that fit in the hole in hollow tech cranks and would like something similar ...
So, how do you oil your chain?
i am not sure which bike you have but on the yamaha if you turn the front chainring (sprocket) backwards by hand then the chain will move .
not as easy as turning the cranks i,ll admit but it does work..

I

I've just got one of these for my Moustache Samedi, really stable.
:)
I read a few reviews which suggested these were a bit fragile but bought one of them anyway..
Needn't have worried as they support both the Scott emtb and the Giant eRoad without issue . Good to be able to spin the cranks for lubing or a quick clean with the chain cleaner thing (another job that needed the chain running backwards).
So...
Thanks for the link.[emoji320][emoji320][emoji320]
