A few forum members have pm'd me asking if i still had the sizes for the above
stand ,which i have and forwarded
Might be handy if i post them on here , if anybody else in the future fancies having a go at making one ...and remember , if ye do have a go, you do at your own risk , im not responsible if yer pride n joy takes a tumble
Its great for removing the swinging arm without any drama
Actually it is very stable ,.......so far
Right , here's the sizes you need..... It sounds a lot ,but if you look at the pics it's very little , £20 worth or so if i remember right
.............................................................
2 metres of 50mmx50mm hollow box section.
30cm(12")approx of 1"dia. threaded bar...(prob 20mm or 22 mm dia. would do), and a nut to suit.
15cm (6")of 20mm solid bar....(poss 18mm would do)..... and a 17mm socket to weld on the very end. (drill your hole centre 12cm from the end of the socket,for a 5 or 6mm pin/bolt etc). This bar turns when raising/lowering. (or wait till very end before drilling this, that way you can position the
stand beforehand).
4 0r 5 inches of bar/tube,... to be welded on to the end of threaded bar(anything really,just to turn it with)
2 @ 20cm (8")or so,to weld on to bottom of frame as stabilisers.(again anything will just about do )
------------------------------------------------------------------------
p.s, i welded in the small piece of round tubing, to take up the freeplay in the nut threads, and i just cut the box section at an angle as in the pic. Also cos it was a friggin pain filing out two 1"holes This way ,you only need to file out one hole.
Uprights are 2 @ 60cm, with centre of holes 53cm from the very bottom of the
stand.
The Horizontal box section is 52cm long. (inside size of
stand).
Remember, you can either use a long handpole for leverage ,like i did(1 hand so easy to lift)...,or weld on a footbar as some others have done.
If using a long removable handpole, you could make that box section upright a bit longer than 60cm,for the pole to fit in, or use a reducer like i did, depending on the handle you use.
2 metres of steel box section will still be enough for the 3 sections of
stand.
pps ,there is enough room to use
stand when bike side-
stand is down, but only just,...best to weld the stabilisers on to the OUTSIDE of the
stand, that way you will have 20mm or so of clearance between the bike side
stand, and the
abba stand.
IMPORTANT- inside size of
stand is 52cm...but with these types of
stand you have to TIGHTEN IN QUITE HARD ,so the uprights will spread,but when
stand removed,will return to 52cms.
Best of luck if anyone goes ahead
