ICE workstand - How do you service yours?
ICE workstand - How do you service yours?
A few photo's attached of a stand which is NOT in production (nor, unfortunately is there any chance of it going into to production - it's just too expensive to mass produce it for sale.
Basically it has three 'cups', one on each cruciform (a little narrower than the fixed portion of the handlebars), and one on the main beam (under the seat, it's where the cable guide is now, but that's 'cos they moved the guide after making the stands).
there is also an over-locking hook which goes over the frame ahead of the rear cup completely securing the frame.
From the uprights to the cruciform there are two straps which can hold the steering solid (even without the adjustable bits of the steering attached) for tracking etc.
Below that there is a tool tray....
All on a solid steel frame - very industrial (but then they do build rather a lot of trikes)

A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.

Mine is self made out of humble 2inch plastic pipe. It spends its unused time down the side of the house.

Same basic configuration?
I'm intending to build in wood...

It is basically 3 verticals supporting the trike. Linked together to provide a floor stand. It puts the trike up about 4ft off the ground. I thought of wood but plastic was easier and using glue joints fairly quick to make. Plus I had some pipe knocking about.

Re: ICE workstand - How do you service yours?
main difference is the clanp and straps then

Here is a picture of it. I use straps on the front two points when I take the wheels off. The trike tips over if one wheel is off at the front.

The price puts me off. I invested about £25 in mine

Re: ICE workstand - How do you service yours?
There are some really good ideas on that page.
I shall incorporate some into my stand. I still aim to build in wood (partly because I have some left over after building the garage, partly because it is strong and easy to modify) but tool hooks will play a part, and wheels might appear..
Although looking online scaffolding isn't all that expensive. A couple of quid per join and a few tens for all the length... Might be a solid version on it's way...

What size fittings are those (the T pieces for support)
Looking yesterday the fittings I could find weren't quite big enough (I didn't think)

The T pieces are adapted T pipe joints with half the top pipe cut away and then lined with some high density sponge. As the pipe is 2inch makes it ideal for the frame of the trike

Re: ICE workstand - How do you service yours?
But what size? The ones i could see were either in 4" or 40mm
And 40mm didn't look quite big enough...

Sorry bob , just looked in screwfix and it is 40mm pipe not as I said. But it still fits the frame okay.

The 40mm must spread slightly then. I shall buy some on my way home - maybe not tonight though, I have a new toolkit* from Aldi, and a hot air gun from the same supplier.
* Mini socket set with all the normal socket set extensions and turny bits (except the brace) and a bonus flexible extension for those akward to reach bolts/screw. Also a "screwdriver" handle as well...
All the torx, allen, philips/pozidrive and flat head bits are on the same "square" attachment, and there is a "hex to square" adaptor so I can use any of them in a drill too...
Looks excellent for cycle maintenance...
