Service /Repair /Moving trolley
First topic message reminder :
With 2 cars, a kayak, storage cupboards, benchs, built-in shelving and 5 bikes in the garage, things are getting a tad squeezy.
Decided to make a cross between a bike lifter and a trolley ( 4 of them should do the trick ). Prototype completed using 4 swivel wheels -2 with brakes, 12mm plywood base with 90x35 center piece as stiffening. Designed frame and had 2 made up . Altered front clamp thiis morning to allow more wheel into the recess, then discovered my Bandit has a 10mm wider front wheel . So redesign again allowing for 12mm insert when the G's are on board making tyre a nice tight fit. One side of recess can be removed allowing 1 or both wheels to be removed, once on centre stand, and bike can still be moved around the garage. Raises bike by approx 140mm, not a lot will make life easier. With these I can move 3 into the space between cars and at back of 1 and have room to work on other 2 without moving cars out. Will also be able to turn a bike around easy. Hopefully drill holes in frames tomorrow.
