There were a few new tools at Park Tool’s Eurobike 2019 booth, but mostly it was updates and improvements to make their current bits more useful on today’s bikes. They were also displaying their classic workstands which got an upgrade with the PCS-9.2 and 10.2 models earlier this year.
The PRS-33.2 Lift Assist Shop Stand gets a new version with bigger hooks, a new carriage tray with bigger buttons and integrated USB ports for charging and diagnosis of eBikes.
Note the hidden USB ports in the tool tray, letting you charge wireless shifting systems and plug in e-bikes for updates, etc.
Also now includes the PRS-33TT tool tray, which will also be available separately and fits the PRS-2OS, PRS-2.2, PRS-3OS, PRS-3.2 and PRS-4.2 stands.
With more bikes going to narrower 12-speed chains and cog spacing, they had to finally update all the chain whips, chain breakers and chain checkers to fit them. For the latter two, they also had to make them accommodate SRAM’s new FlatTop chains, which use a different chain pin diameter.
