Step by Step

  1. Hang the bicycle with the saddle or the frame on the station.
  2. Check the air pressure using the manometer. The recommended air pressure for the tires can be found on the side of the tire in bar/PSI. Then, inflate the tire with the air pump to the desired pressure.
  3. Different tools are attached to the steel cables, which can be used for different repairs.
