Step 3Install the vertical supports
Screw the vertical supports in place.
Mine uses two:
One is a 36" x 3/4" pipe with a right angle fitting on the top. This one holds the handlebars. I happened to have an unused bike carrier from Rhode Gear, so I reused one of the rubber holding straps; you could easily use a bungee cord instead.
The other is a 12"x1/2" pipe, which will hold the back wheel.
To protect the bike from dings and dents, I covered the pipes with rubber cut from an old inner tube. A 1.25" inner tube covers the 1/2" tube nicely; the 3/4" tube didn't fit, so I just wrapped the pipe with the inner tube and secured it with a cable tie.
