The Bike Stand's Frame Preparation

There is always some deviation in all the setups we do. Aluminum frames are for the most part much cleaner and need a lot little less preparation work done on them. But all the steel frames get this full 17-point check done on them by Steven Willis.

1. Check the work order.
2. Put frame on alignment table and check frame alignment.
3. Measure the inside of the seat tube for seat post size.
4. Clean up or ream to fit
5. Install Park's frame holder in frame to mount in work stand
6. Align rear frame drop outs.
7. Clean and tap out rear derailleur hanger
8. Clean and tap out bottom bracket threads
9. Face bottom bracket shell.
10. Tap out water bottle bosses.
