Spock Posted June 29, 2016 Share HiI plan on building my own repair stand, but need to find a solution for the clamp. I notice one can buy clamps from cycle shops, mainly online overseas shops, but these are too expensive. Any suggestions to solve this problem? What can i use?Thanks!

johannrissik Posted June 30, 2016 Share Fabricate a clamp using 2mm plate, rubber padding and threaded bar an wing nuts. Just make sure it doesn't damage the frame when you clamp it. It's referred to a "reverse engineering" where I come from. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest notmyname Posted July 1, 2016 Share At five hunt rather just buy the tork craft one. I've seen them for little over four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted July 1, 2016 Share An old windsurfing boom can also work as the gooseneck is similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongoose! Posted July 1, 2016 Share I have the Craft Tork one from CWC. Worth every cent. Fold up nicely when not in use, not taking much space. It is so cheap I will not go through the hassle of building one self that can end up more expensive / damage your bike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping to build my own solid stand for around same price or even less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertusras Posted July 1, 2016 Share http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/cwc-bicycle-repair-stand I have one of these, my mates have one of these. Solid, heavy as hell. Works a treat. Wait for another sale, you might even get a further discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
