Subject: RE: Homemade Bike Repair Stand Originally posted by MikeD1
Looks great! Thank you for posting the link. I was contemplating purchasing a stand but not really wanting to spend the bucks. I also typically use my hitch mount rack on the back of the van to work on bikes, but it's a hassle to put on etc. Looks like a good project for one of these days . . .
My car has a rear spoiler on it, so I am not sure if there are any cheap bike rack options. I've been stuffing my bike in the rear seat of my little Dodge Neon hehe it was a fun build though! Just wanted to share in case others were interested.
It only took me a two hours to assemble (I watched the video and went slow ) and by far the longest portion was making the wood hanger (the board cracked and I had to improvise ). Also, the online directions say you need four 1/2 " Tees but I only needed three.....I completed it and had a spare piece, that seems so typical, Ha! |
