Part 3 of 4 - Park Tool HBH-2 Handle bar holder. This is one tool i have never owned before but wished i had bought one on more than occasion. When a bike is clamped into a repair stand and you start swivelling it around sometimes the handlebars turn quickly and whack you in the head when you least expect it. This simple tools drops onto the top tube and around the bars and is held in place with a velcro strap. It stops the handlebars from turning around when you are moving the bike around in the stand. The rrp is £20 which is alot of money for a piece of bent bar which has been plastic coated & one velcro strap. I paid £11.01 (starnage amount!) inc next day delivery. Here the Park Tool blurb -The Handlebar Holder is designed to prevent the handlebars and front wheel from rotating when a bike is mounted in a Park Tool Repair Stand. Updated to fit handlebars up to 32mm and oversized top tubes up to 50mm, the HBH-2 works on almost any road or mountain bike.
FINAL PART 4 - next Sunday
