The cool people at Pricepoint sent us the Sette ST-7 workstand for review. As a wrench-at-home guy and a part-time racer I have been given the task to put this product to the test. The following are my first impressions of the stand. Off the bat when I opened the box, I noticed how compact…

Saw this and had to share it with you. Has the increase in gas prices changed how you get to the trail? I’ve found that I’ve been carpooling more often and have even ridden straight to the trail, if it’s close enough. I’m also using the car that gets better mpg to drive to the…
