Subject: Building a transition rack. How to drill holes and crimp legs?After setting up at the KC Tri last weekend I am thinking about building my own transition rack. They were (appeared to be ) EMT pipes. The cross members had holes cut in an X-pattern, and the legs were crimped such that the crossmember would not slip below them. The legs fit inside the larger pipe for storage. Pretty simple and effective. 1/2" pipe for legs, and the beams were probably 2". Anyone make these before? How to go about drilling the 4 holes in each end for the legs, and how to make the crimps in the legs? I'd love to make one of these for myself. Great for practice, and one or two sets would be awesome for a casual race with a small group. The pipes should cost not much more than $20 per set. (Not including any drill bits/hole saws etc. ) |
