Bike repair stand (easy, cheap, quick)

 

  Easy, cheap, and quick; my favorites.   The only thing to buy is 2 pieces of 1/2 inch conduit.   The only tool is a conduit bender which you can likely borrow from the hardware store or an electrician friend.   The bender is not too expensive if you need to buy it.   I've heard you can fill the conduit with sand and use a vice to bend it also, but I think this would be hard with poor results.  

Step 1 Rafter side

This is a 180 bend in the conduit.

I was looking at a lot of the other instructables on here about making bike stands, and they are pretty good, but this is brilliant... I never even thought of making a hanger for the rafters rather than a stand from the ground. Mind you, it probably wobble all over the place, but its still brilliant and fast!

Thank you for your comment

Nice. Since I don't have anywhere to put it, though, I'll have to do it some other way. You could also just do it (with some stability decrease) with rope!

Clever!
