So does anyone have an idea on a [glow=red,2,300]cheap[/glow] but usefull way to hang a bikee from a workstand???

This is a common question now that the workstand adapters are no longer available. If someone has found a way around this problem I'll add it to the Tips section.

I do have a few ideas if it helps but i have yet to try them.

1. take a 2x4 and cut away some of the wood in the center so it will fit in the jaw of a Park stand and use 2 large "U' hooks to hold the bike.

2. Tie it from the roof of my workshop so its supended in the air.

3. "If ur handy with metal work" bend some alumium into a "U" shape and try to make something fromthere

Sorry i have no pics of this

but i went and got 2 large "u" hooks and screwed them into a 2x2 to hang my bike e on and to hang this from my park stand i put 2 i-bolts throuhgt the board and a long bolt throught the i-bolts so it makes a round surface that fits in the workstand jaws.

Its now the best but it works and only cost me about $10 to make.

So do you hook the bike under the handlebars and seat back? Or does it hook under the frame? Any chance you will have pics of the setup in the future?

Thanks

Great! I'll add it to the tips page when you get it done. Thanks for your efforts.

On our E2 I find it easiest to turn the work stand head so that I can clamp the stoker's handlebar riser. Works great and it's even reasonalby well balanced.

Sorry, I realize this doesn't help the single E owners.

i have a fx bike-e with front suspension fork that needs replaced does anyone know how to fix this?

[girlmark]

For that matter, I need to figure out how to attach a BikeE to a bike rack that fits the back of my van or the top of my car (I dont' have these racks yet, but you get the idea).

Anyone solved this yet?

I found that my bikeE just **barely** fits on my Thule rack. It is the rack that has the little jaws at the front that clamps onto the front fork (you remove the front wheel).
