Mr Motivator Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 All constructed from steel box section, flat steel and sheet aluminium from B&Q. Would have been cheaper if I hadn't have painted it, but hey. Side on. Face on. Three legs, all of which can be un bolted for storage. This was the only welded part. There are also rubber feet on the end made from a Panaracer Trail Blaster. The whole kaboosh is height adjustable with 5 height settings which are secured with the steel hollow pin. Also you can see the tool tray which I bent from sheet ally and drilled some nice little allen/screwdriver holes to make it look pretty. The tool tray is removable and is fixed via a flat steel bar slid down between the top and bottom sections. The top bit, all bolted, with a nice clamp 'borrowed' from the science block which has some inner tube glued inside to protect my frames. The clamp also spins around 360 degrees so it'll clamp to either the seat tube or the top tube or anything else you might want to clamp it to. Dunno where I got the idea from, *cough* Park Tools PRS-15 *cough*. Just incase your thick, you can click on those pictures to make them big. What do you lot think then?

Mark W Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Can you actually get much torque to hold the frame in place, and also to stop the clamp spinning when you've got a whole bike on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
