Pulse Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I like that. Simple and cost effective. If it end up being a bit unstable, perhaps put 3 bases in to form a lax 'L' shaped stand.
Tree Hubber Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 I don't think it'll work, it might hold up one, maybe two bikes, but more than that and it'll probably topple over, You will need some sort of support for the legs: An A-frame will still be a lot sturdier though Heath Robinson style all I can do is try. The bases are solid concrete at 65kg each thats 130kg. If I'm not happy then we'll just add more steel. The last thing I want is a couple of hundred grands worth of gear falling over.
MTBeer Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Those wooden pallet ones are the zing! Would a tandem work on them ?tandems are easy to sort out. get the wife to hold the bike while you go in for a beer/coffee... Hairy and TK-Sp3cialiSt 2

FrankG Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) You will need some sort of support for the legs: You could always use a steel cable run through the cross bar at each end instead of steel to achieve the same result a la tent style. Slide a hosepipe over the cable and it will be visible and less of a trip hazard. Edited July 18, 2014 by discostu Tumbleweed 1
Tree Hubber Posted July 18, 2014 Author Posted July 18, 2014 Feeling like a dog today with two Dicks For less than 2 hours out of my life.... R80.00 in extra's, a trip the the local hardware shop and a few broken Umbrella's out the back of the Restaurant. BOOM And a big thumbs up to you guys for leading the way. All that is left to do is sticker the thing up. Joeboy69, Skott5, WezGK and 10 others 13
Pulse Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I was initially a bit sceptical about the stability, but that looks absolutely perfect!

I think you have earned the right to post another picture that shows the name of the restaurant prominently. Pure Savage 1
Tumbleweed Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Lekka! I wouldn't sticker bomb it. Fits as it is. Tree Hubber 1
