Alouette3 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I'm again looking for this elusive forker. The parktool equivalent is like R200. .. anyone got a hack for it? Demmit!Back end of a shimano quick release works perfectly well!

gerhardsnorbaard Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Ghetto bike stand made from bamboo stakes i had lying around. Not on the level of the "real" mechanic, but worked well last night to tinker with my gears, brakes etc. Ha!

kanigit Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 My home made effort ........ borrowed ideas from Youtube and the Hub: Double thick plywood base plus castors (2 with brakes) was left by landlord ......I can swivel stand easily.Other materials: 40mm galvanised flange - 25mm galv pipe (I tried 20mm initially- too much flex). 1 x t- piece (in case I want to lower bike to work on headtube) - elbow, 25/15 reducer, 15mm pipe (easier to find clamps).I x 32/15mm plastic irrigation clamp, reversed bolts and replaced nuts with wing nuts and flat washers. ~ Clamp is work in progress ........ I have seen pics of a hinged version of this which would be ideal. This one is a little hard to operate on your own 1x40mm galv flange ...... fork me these are like rocking horse poo............why 40mm when the pipe is 25mm you ask? This was smallest in stock (hence 40/25mm reducing bush) and I only found it at the last place I went to ....... if you live in Helderberg I will tell you where ...............for a small fee Finished product in action ....... as visible the clamp twists on the thread when using the seatpost.........I will be drilling horizontal and vertical location holes through clamp thread and 15mm pipe inside to insert locking pins for whichever desired position I am using the clamp Cost of materials to date (excl plywood base plus castors which was already provided) approx. R325
HowardSteele Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 How's this for a rip off. R28 000.00 truing_stand.jpgHopefully it comes with a bike lol

Eugene Brown Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Used succesfully just to finish my build in December.For BB? I've never been happy to hit/press a bearing on the inner race, but if it works for you cool. Really nice out-the-box DIY idea????
MrJacques Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Not mine, but I think it's worth sharing: Headset press probably made with 3d printed parts.
