Bike Repair Stand Using a Pallet
Intro: Bike Repair Stand Using a Pallet
This is how to make your own bike repair stand for under $40.
STEP 1: Mount Flange
Screw your flange down to the pallet. Mount in the middle of one of the outer boards.
STEP 2: Screw Together the Pipe
Assemble this upsidedown L out of the pipe. Make sure to tighten all the pipe as much as possible so your stand will be more secure.
STEP 3: Cut Your Board and Drill Seat-post Hole
Cut the 1 x 2 board in two 2.5 in sections. Then clamp them together and drill a hole ( the size will depend on the diameter of your bike's seat-post) through them. Once you've drilled your hole, epoxy one side of you clamp to one piece of wood and do the same with the other.
STEP 4: Put the Clamps On
Slide the jockeying part of the clamp on, then screw the outer tightening part on.

i have a heavy e-bike [28kg] and was wondering if i should use thicker tubing to compensate the weight

But 4 screws in the base are not going to hold it when I get angry eh serious with my bike.... Needs bolts through the wood block.
And I would put a sheet of old plywood on top as a deck. Less trippin'
And maybe on old magnet on the horizontal pipe to hold the nuts and bolts I take off the bike.
And.... too many ideas!
Good job!

If you need to lower the center of gravity, cover the holes in the rim and fill it with concrete. Or you could use a 5 gallon bucket with some concrete in it as the base.

Can you still turn the pedals? (For gear adjustments etc.)
