[quote=Rusty Piton]I have this wall mount Park clamper arm lagged into a support column in my basement and it is 10,000% awesome. Go for a permanently stationary stand if you can atmo.
this should be 1000x better than my feedback stand

Thanks Rusty! Wall mount was my first thought.
Cool, I’m moving this way now.
Do you have any other info about setting this up? The workspace has finished walls, I imagine I’d want to put something like a 4x4" as the backing.
Of course it’s not ideal if you’re working on fendered fop chariots all day long, but if most of your work involves having to hold something carbon in place and frequently flip it upside down/get in weird angles, than nothing beats a euro stand. Feedback Sprint is great for all my bikes: 23mm road bike and TT bike w/ internal cabling and direct mount rear brake, xc mountain bike, 35mm cx race bike and commuter. You can’t complain about build quality as the things are just as well designed and built as the clamp stands.
Haters gonna hate.
I have done this exactly never.
It’s not hate, it’s just not for me.
I would probably be a good candidate for a euro stand.
I have a stand I got on amazon for $60 or something.
I like it. And when I caught it on fire once I wasn’t really that upset.
the criteria by which all personal possessions should be judged
I got mine free from an ex-gf’s father’s garage. Park, clamp and a square base. Works pretty damn well. And free.
Double bonus.

I have 4x4 supports in my garage and this is the future.
What’s the best semi-universal smartphone holder for a bicycle, that I can get through QBP?
What’s some bike parking gizmos that wont fuck with the disc wheels? Looking for floor parking.
Or… What’s the Tarck recommended way to park multiple bikes?
This seems possible

I finally got fed up with our bike parking situation a few months ago and copied a friend’s solution: 2x4 bolted between two posts in the basement. Height is just high enough to clear the bars when rolling the bike under the 2x4 and then just hang 'em from the front of the saddle. If you don’t have convenient posts an extra-long sawhorse would be easy to construct with those brackets you can get at the hardware store.
sorta the velodrome method, I like that.
THANKS NEW GUY
You can also use a 2" iron pipe with a foam sleeve or pool noodle to keep your saddles and posts from getting nicked up.
I bult an L-shaped wheel holder, sort of like this:
With the slats spaced right and also the low cross board that hits the back of the tire spaced well it actually holds my bikes just fine. I’ve got a couple of different spacing depending on tire size, so they fit snug. Bikes with fenders get stored front-wheel-in, non-fendered bikes get stored rear wheel in.
I’ve got 2 or 3 that are easily accessible, the others are nested and takes a bit more fussing to get them out easily, but those are bikes that are ridden less often.
Oh, I should make one of those wood ones for the bike room at work.
The maintenance guy bought the crappiest floor rack I’ve ever used. You roll your rear wheel in and the rack sits against your cassette. If you put your front wheel in it wants to naturally sit where your hub is located but its not wide enough for a hub so the wheel floats and the bike falls over.
Who designed this thing???

stands like this are easily made from pallets.
or if you have spare doorframe, a kids gate works perfectly for storing 5 or 6 bikes.
Thanks y’all.
I like new guy an Cheese’ suggestions.
Considering the space, I’m going with J-fly.
Ugly first iteration of a garage rack from a few years ago. Gave it to a friend during a move and built another one that looks slightly less gross.
