Bike stand from table saw helper
As I indicated in the previous post, I made a simple modification to a work stand to use it as a bike stand for the X-Stream. You can read the discussion on BROL or my basic description as copied below. It worked out so well I may add a stationary versions to my work bench, maybe some with different dimensions for other bikes.

[Quote] I’ve been thinking about a bike stand for my new X-Stream. I saw my new table saw helper as I pondered and this came to mind; worked out very well, the “projo lowjo”.
I used a table saw helper I recently bought at Lowes or Home Depot (don’t remember), one with a roller on top to support long cuts. It was very cheap. Even has a height adjustment. Did a quick prototype, took 15 to 30 minutes. Removed the roller on top, one screw. Screwed two rubber coated hooks into a short piece of 2×2 pine and then attached it in place of the roller using the same hole. I used a wood screw that I had on hand but would have preferred a bolt. Actually, would have preferred two bolts, drilling another hole. And maybe would prefer something besides unpainted wood. As I said, a prototype. But it worked out so well I may leave it as is. May add a second screw or bolt. [UnQuote]
