Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the PrepStation involves ensuring the wheel base is fully extended on a level surface before unfolding the trays. The system is designed to be compatible with standard modern bicycle components including disc brake systems and various bottom bracket standards. To care for the unit, wipe down tools with a clean, dry cloth after exposure to moisture or grease. Ensure that the swivelling tray mechanisms remain free of debris by occasionally vacuuming or wiping out the compartments. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the plastic components, as this can degrade the storage trays over time.
