Title: Home made cycle jack... Post by Gregski on 06/01/04 at 09:05:32 In an attempt to do my own rear brakes I devised a pretty basic cycle lift out of 4x4 redwood studs.  I used a 3 foot stud with two 1 foot studs on top of it to raise the bike frame 8 inches off the ground, just enough to get the rear wheel out. To do this I placed the long stud perpendicular under the bike, and leaned the bike to one side, the left for example, then I slid one of the short studs on top of the long sutd, and under the right side of the bike, right under the engine... then I leaned the bike over to the right (leveraging it on the wood) and I slid the second short stud under the bike on the left hand side... and whalla - the bike is off the ground. I wedged the front wheel in the corner of the garage to keep it from going anywhere, and I used a tie down (rope) to tie the handlebars to the wall, to keep it from falling off. http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/muszyngr/album?.dir=/1595&.src=ph
