Been without or 50 years
I have gotten away without this simple tool since I started repairing bikes. How silly, keeps everything straight, but my home kit was without.
Park handlebar holder
This product eliminates the fork from moving while doing maintenance on the bike parts attached to the fork.
This product is a must have for anyone who uses a bike stand for bike maintenance. It’s even practical for doing maintenance when a bike is upright on the floor
How did I live without it
Pros
Handy as shirt pockets.
Cons
No cons. I'd be offended if someone picked it apart.
Other Thoughts
Keep it hanging on the stand and think "that's a smart idea" every time I grab it.
Park Handlebar Holder
Pros
Has velcro strap also
Cons
None
does the job
Pros
does the job exactly
Cons
Price is "ok" If you have unprotected cable along the top of the top tube put a tissue or paper towel between the cable and the frame or this device might press against the cable and scratch your paint off.
ok but in the way of the pedals
if you want to adjust your derailleur for example, you'll have to tilt your bike on the stand so when you rotate the crank/pedals, it doesn't touch.
Keeps from wheel straight
Pros
Keeps front wheel straight while working on the bike or while transporting it to the biking destination.
Cons
Attaching the device to the handlebars can be difficult especially if you have devices mounted on your handlebars like GPS, phone holders, euro bars, etc.
Handy tray
Pros
Tray keeps your tools close by and ready to work on your bike while it is on the bike rack. Lots of room for multiple tools and lubricant.
Cons
No cons
Simple design - works great!
Pros
Simple design, easy to use, works well
Cons
A bit pricey for such a simple design - but Its Park so it'll last forever
Finally I bought one
Pros
Makes working on your bike a lot less stressfull.
Cons
none
Very solid and a nice layout
Pros
Very solid and a nice layout
Cons
It was not clear at the time of ordering that the mounting collar was a separate purchase.
Pretty good, not great
Pros
Good place for small parts
Cons
Black parts dissappear on the black rubber
Park 104 Work Tray
Pros
Fits the stand.
Cons
Does not fit some tools
Other Thoughts
Collects water when I wash down a bike and the entire rack needs to tilted to drain.
Park HBH-2 Handlebar Holder
Pros
Really like the Park Tool HBH-2. I've had this for close to a year now and use it during almost all tune-ups. I used to use a bungee cord, which was cheap, but not as effective.
Cons
On some Mountain bike frames, you have to get a little creative to keep the product engaged on frame.
Works like a charm...
Great work tray
This one was purchased as a gift, but it is the same tray as I already own and enjoy using.
Simple but effective product
Pros
This is a simple product that serves a valuable purpose. It simply keeps the handlebars from swinging while the bike is on a bike stand, thereby avoiding paint chips or damage to the top tube. It is especially good to use when wrapping handlebars. The rubber coating protects the frame.
Cons
Sometimes the elastic strap with velcro gets in the way of inserting cables into the down tube (depending on the brand of bike)
good, solid
Pros
very solid, lots of spots for tools and equipment
Cons
smaller than anticipated
Fairly simple product performs as advertised
Pros
Simple
Effective
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
When I purchased this I didn't know that in order for it to function one has to secure it to the bike frame (using the attached nylon strap with Velcro). I
