Bike lift question

Post by freeridenick »

Anyone got a lift/work bench with u-bolts for tie-down points? What size are they, M8 or M10? I bought M6 but I'm thinking they're too small now.

M8s on mine. Sturdy enough.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time

Can you drill extra holes and double up the M6?
You should be alright, though, if there are two for each bracket:

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Cheers guys. I'll be using a front wheel chock so the U-bolts are there as support to keep the bike upright. Seems like the M6 will be fine.
