Not far from the parasite museum!

Somehow I missed that when over there last !
Next time! Maybe not if squeamish. I randomly saw the sign and had to check it out
Can confirm, the parasitological museum is fun. I was there 20 years ago. The text was in Japanese but the displays used pictograms that were still horrifying.

Bar end cable lock. Definitely not worth the $60 I saw it listed for unless it’s a special material but pretty cool idea

do you stuff it all back up the hole every time you’re done with it? or does it retract automatically into the bars like a ski lock?
There’s actually another piece that serves as the bar end, which the lock attaches to when stored

I have the Abbey lever setter which is probably the inspiration for that and I have not found it to be particularly helpful FWIW. Nice idea but in execution it’s hard to make useful.
Thanks you for assuming I was posting that ridiculous item in good faith

i want an ali X/Y Tool
if I wanted to be that accurate and replicable, I would get a fork mount to isolate the bike plumb and level and then use a laser level and a machinists level and a tape measure. I think you could get better precision for considerably less money and the tools would all be good for other things.
When it’s possible to remove the bars, I have a table saw in my basement. I just set the bars with mounted levers on it, it’s a nice reasonably flat metal surface. If a lever is askew in a way that you would notice while riding eventually, this will show up instantly.

I would also love a budget version of this
Anybody have any thoughts or oppinions on this EZup workstand?
Says it lifts up to 77 pounds which is not enough for my stupid bikes.

edit: why don’t link previews work anymore?
Looks like Unior makes a real one, but it’s five bongs.
I think I’ll try bolting one of these:
to one of these:
The lift stand says it lifts up to 330lbs so it should be good to lift my absurdly huge cargo bikes.
Huh, intresting. Basically an office chair/dropper post mechanism inside a work stand. Looks like only lifts 37lbs on it’s own, the 77lbs is recommended max bike weight. So you’re still lifting 40lbs on your own. Not really compelling.
