Hey guys,
didnt know where to put this thread but decided here was the best I could do. I need a diagram or a video of a do-it-yourself bike repair stand. I'm sick of flipping my bike upside down. Not bad for changing tubes but it is for adjusting derailleurs. Any ideas?

I saw a vid on youtube on a bike stand. I modified it a bit to hang from the ceiling. I used a 3/8" floor flange, 2" nipple, 3/8"-1/2" enlargement bushing, 1/2" street elbow, 60" 1/2" pipe, 1/2" elbow, then a 12" 1/2" with a pipe clamp thing hooked on it. I set my bike up on it, screw the clamp on the frame(it has pads), and get to work! Now I feel stupid cause I answered my own question. Aaahhhh!! Lol

I had an old POS weightlifting bench that had to be upgraded, it ended up sitting under the stairs. I finally found a use for it, as well as my pvc bike rack, this thing makes an excellent bike stand. Worked well for me, I'm sure I'll improve it from this.

Making DIY repair stands are great (there are many threads about them in the Tooltime forum), but if you plan on doing your own repairs, a quality repair stand is the best thing you can buy for yourself. Park makes good bench mount stands as well as portable, folding repair stands. Also check into Feedback Sports repair stands.
