Cheap stand for later SS models
Posted: Tue Jan 09, 2007 1:42 pmHere is our solution:
Ingredients:
Pair of jack stands
one pipe long enough to reach from one stand to the other, by way of going through the bike
Optional: some kind of protective cover for the pipe so it doesn't scratch the paint. We used some of the packing material from a guitar stand we bought for our son.
Optional: additional pipe to use inside the main pipe for additional leverage when raising the bike onto the stand.
Our original experiments had been conducted using a hockey stick as the pipe. The final pipe is a piece from a wood clamp.
The front wheel we raise by putting a rod through the hollow front axle and raising it onto another pair of jackstands.
