Bike stands

[84XRGuy]

Does anybody know where I could find plans for building a wooden bike stand??

Don't know of any, but a couple of 2x4's and some plywood should do it.

Cheaper, lighter and more durable...go to Walmart and find the Rubbermain collection..they have an 18in tall step stool that has a large weight capacity. It will hold up my bike w/me on it and not even flex...not to mention it is 8$. Worth a look..

I use a $10 wooden stepladder, that I cut off some of it, cause my bike is shorter(an 80). Coincidently, Jeffd uses the same thing!

Rubbermaid!

I will have to second Blue Thunder's idea: A RubberMaid step stool. I love mine. I even step on it to load the bike in the truck!

If you can weld, Canadian Dave has plans for a lift stand in the tech tips section. http://justkdx.dirtrider.net/
Otherwise.........I would go with the RubberMaid.;)

RubberMaid

I also use a Rubbermaid two-step stool.
It works great, is very sturdy and it was CHEAP!!!!
After using it, I would never spend the money on a fancy bike stand again.

I made a great stand out of wood. If you really want the demensions, pm me, and I'll take a ruler out to my garage.

Damn it BlueThunder! You're gonna wreck our business plans!! How are we gonna bilk riders out of their money for our $20 MGP bike stands if you're giving them the location of our "wholesaler"???:scream:
