Thanks to Al Ingersol CP for letting me know that the pylon-clamping tool highlighted in last month's Corner is a staple in the bicycle repair industry that is readily available from many bike shops. Park Tool USA has a nice selection of repair stands with clamps on the Web at www.parktool.com/tools/100_3C.shtml and a link to local dealers at www.parktool.com/where_to_buy/index.shtml. Cambria Bicycle Outfitters is one source accepting online orders; click to http://cambriabike.com/tools/repair_tools.htm to check it out.
