Default Bike stand-less tire changes

I had never seen one of these before. I'm always on the lookout for "trail tools" and this seems pretty cool

Pretty slick! I could have used that yesterday. When I got to work the day before, I thought I heard a wooshing sound as I parked, but it was so quick I dismissed it. When I went to leave that day, the rear tire was flat!

After getting home, I brought my tools back to work the next day. The milk crate I brought was too short, so we went looking around for a suitable repair stand...turns out the stepstool we liberated from our server room made a fine substitution.

Actually that is made by a member on here. I posted this as a link from Thumpertalk. I'll see if I can dig it up again.
