some more info to add to the conversation...
a few stations are now around Missoula. i think they are working well.
all the different companies have improved the air pump, to be more
durable. air might be the most valuable asset of a fix it station.
for a few years, we locked a few pumps up around town to bike racks.
they'd last up to a year. we're a big fan of manual pumps instead of
compressors.

Hi Bob, we will only be able to fasten a cable to something that has a
handle or loop on it. The Triflow bottle won't work.

Perhaps there is a better way: those little triflow bottles are ideal, as
they can be squeezed to dispense, and can be easily refilled. Have you
ever done lube before on a fixit? What do you think would be the best way
to have lube available? (I'm going to offer our free cycle program service
to people in missoula that get these fixits- we can go around and
refill/replace lube weekly I believe).
