Getting the Bike ready for work


Before starting bike work I put the bike on the stand. Usually when I work on a bike, I suspend the bike from it's seatpost. It is necessary to set the stand to the correct position before hanging the bike on it . It is necessary to grip the bike at the downtube with one hand and the seat tube with the other when lifting it onto the bike rack. When hanging a bike, make sure you hang it with the chain ring facing  you.


Hanging a bike from the top tube because the seat post is rusted into the seat tube.



A typical bike tool set.
 
After the bike is secure on the bike rack, it is necessary to collect all the tools you may need .
