Work stand - on the cheap
Jaywoo's rig gave me some ideas.. I had to move one of the legs to give enough clearance for the pedals.. chopped the end where the BB sits and wrapped around some rag and gaf.... Stand/horse thingy - $18 Bunnings Front Hub - $10 Bicycle Recycle Clamps/screws - $2 $30 all up.. and it folds away for easy storage! http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/2889/image0116en.jpg http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/3285/image0121cw.jpg http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/1776/image0135fd.jpg http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/3418/image0152gg.jpg http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/1223/image0144wk.jpg cheers, GPL -- gplama |

Interesting. Are you using any sort of cradle or bracing for the BB shell for if/when you have to swing sideways on things? At the LBS we hang bikes off a pair of parallel bars most of the time, and rarely use a clamp on them. With funny geometries, we hang the bike off the nose of the seat. I'll take some photos & show you this week. |

Nop, it just sits on there... only plan to use this for basic cleaning and gear indexing.. I'm not a fan of sticking bikes on their head and scuffing everything up.. cheers, GPL -- gplama |

Nifty I have an el cheapo commercial stand for that, which cost $99 from Cecil Walker, not all that sturdy, but it has a BB cradle and a downtube support of sorts that means I can do a bit of sideways stuff on the bike, but nothing with much torque. Just enough to work on brake calipers etc. |

My bike stand for cleaning chainline etc is a peice of string looped around the clothesline. Just wind up the clothesline until the wheel is off the ground. Much fun is had when the wind blowss the line around. It works. -- TimC Examples of valid code in PL/1 (courtesy many people) if if = then then then = else; else else = if; do do = by by to to while while(until) until(end); |

Since the string holds up the seat, that would be... difficult. Perhaps not impossible though -- TimC Whip me. Beat me. Make me maintain AIX. |
