buy or make a bike repair stand

[Big A]

Show me some homemade bike repair stands. I need a repair stand. I tried to make one with 3/4 piping and pipe clamps but did not function like I thought it would. :roll:

Maybe just modify it a bit? Redneck Ingenuity at it's finest.

I like that idea!

I, like all of us, would love the 360 degrees of a full stand, but I'd rather spend my bike money on bikes.

So far so good love the handle bars.

I got a Park stand for Christmas one year. Having a repair stand makes working on the bikes so much easier and enjoyable. Maintenance tasks I used to put off I now do because it's so much easier on a stand.

I made mine to work with my engine stand. Rolls around garage easy.

That is clever, in awesome ratrod style. How much would you charge to make one for me? Exactly like that. Seriously.

But what I really want to know is what you use the machete for?!

Agreed that using an actual stand is the best way to go. Nothing beats working in a bike shop, and you take it a little for granted until you don't.

you could dip the jaws in rubberized tool grip to protect the paint finish on the bike frame. be very careful clamping frame tubes....

At work, We just hang old bicycle chains from the ceiling with a hook on each chain, hang the handlebars on one end and the rear triangle on the other. It works great.

I keep trying to talk my wife into a parks stand but until we have the money I just work off the tailgate of my truck.
