Hi, I was fiddling with my gears this weekend after washing the bicycle. It's very difficult to get it right without a bicycle stand as the derailleur behaves slightly different when upside down.
Anyone got any suggestions for a makeshift bicycle stand for those too poor to buy one?
i made one out of tubing, a metal T pipe, 1 3/4", a door hinge, and a toolbox latch. i cut the t so the top part is in half, welded the hinge on and the latch make it work, and covered the inside with silicon and foam. oh and some metal plate to clamp it into my vise. ill get pics for you later.
