You can even add multiple entries in the [paths] section of your .hg/hgrc file.

[paths]
default = /repo_store/hg/project1
sandbox = /repo_store/hg/project1_experimental

And then can specify its alias in the mercurial commands. default repo need not be specified but others have to be like,

hg in            # check incoming changes from default repo
hg in default    # check incoming changes from default repo
hg in sandbox    # check incoming changes from sandbox repo
hg pull sandbox  # pull changes from sandbox repo
