Let�s face it, cleaning dirt off your bike after a long ride isn�t fun, especially if you live in a walk up apartment with no yard or garage. But spraying this on, waiting a few minutes and hosing your bike off gets you 90-95 percent of the way to a shiny bike unless you�re doing a fair bit of off road riding. And even then, a light scrub with a soft brush more than does the trick. It�s super concentrated so you�re not using that much at any given time.
I use the repair stand at least a few times per week. It works very well for all of the bikes we have (road, mountain, gravel, but no e-bikes) and is easy to set up and put away. It is very lightweight which has pros and cons. The pro is that it's easy to move around as needed. The con is that the lower mass makes it a little less stable than a heavier stand. Overall, I find the weight about right but maybe the HD version would be better in this respect. The best feature is the clamp. It has a ratchet that allows you to quickly mount and release a bike. Overall, it is well worth the money and I recommend it to friends.
I've used this pump twice on my road bike and I was impressed at how quickly I was able to get my tires to 80-90 psi. I don't know if this makes any difference, but I was inflating a 'Slime' inner tube and I didn't have any problems. I really liked how you can screw the pump onto the end of the presta valve - maybe all pumps offer that feature and I wasn't aware of it, but this was a real difference maker for me. Very light, easy to get it on/off the bike - I'm a fan.
This tool is perfect for shimano barbs but the ones Sram uses are actually threaded and a t8 torx size so this tool doesnt actually thread the sram barb into the hose end it simply presses it in. I have used it like this and it seems to work fine but not how sram designed their barbs to be installed. That being said if you shop around you can find 4mm T8 torx bits to replace the one that comes with this tool (T10) and install the sram barb as described by sram techs. Hope this helps...
