Bike Erie has had a good relationship with our local health department
for years. This year they decided to buy 5 Dero stands

So far there is only one installed. It was installed in a prime spot on
Presque Isle State Park. It is one of our hot spots with a great 13
mile loop. The remainder will be installed around the County. We have
not had any issues that I know of as yet. The cables for the tools seem
pretty heavy duty. It is very near the park ranger station, the main
road around the park and a multipurpose trail.

I love do-it-yourself repair stands but being about 2 miles from Dero world headquarters, two years ago they donated a complete repair stand (version 1.0--no longer available) to us. It's been great. In over two years-- in an area where you'd expect vandalism--the pump (version1.0--also no longer available--kit 2 and kit 3 much better) still works and we've only lost two of the tools.

Several exist here in Missoula, Montana, and work well. We've been an advocate for manual pumps instead of the ones run by an air compressor (noise, fuel, space, etc). But- many of the initial manual (floor) pumps broke. Now, they are made much stronger and worth the investment I think. Like this one: http://www.dero.com/products/air-kit-3/ A challenge but doable to make your own. -- Bob Giordano, Director Free Cycles Missoula Missoula Institute for Sustainable Transportation Natasha B wrote: > Wondering if anyone one has experience building a simple bike repair > station.
