I am lucky to have a house and a full garage shop. I used to make frames in it. I have way too many bike tools. But years ago I used to live in an apartment. I had fewer tools, but bikes were simpler and less was needed. Even a Campy full tool kit was more than you needed to maintain bicycles. I did not have a Park type work stand. I had a stand that held the rear wheel up by grabbing the left seat and chain stays. It's perfect for cleaning, replacing chains, adjusting. My apartment had a tiny balcony, just long enough for the bike and me. Thats where I’d do the dirty work, like chain cleaning.
Remarkably, bicycles require little care. If you keep them relatively clean and lubed, they will roll on forever. One must to remember to clean in betweem the stem & steerer tube, where sweat drips and will eventually corrode the stem and steerer tube together permanently. > On Mar 3, 2021, at 9:56 PM, Jason Fuller <jtf.ful...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Feeling the jealousy as a (insanely expensive) city apartment dweller!
