I’m looking for a simple floor stand that I can use in the garage and the back of the van. Ideally something simple with no moving parts that I can bolt down to a sheet of ply.

Something like this;

The problem is I’ve just looked through hundreds of them and I can’t find any that accommodate fat tyres. Everything I’ve found is 47 or 55mm wide. I need something that will work with the mud tyres on the DH bike.

Surely there’s something out there. What do bike shops use? I’m not a fan of the big, heavy, spring loaded ones. I need something with a bit of side support for when I’m pulling G’s on the B roads 😉

Any ideas?

Pop down to the plumbing section of B&Q and knock yourself out.

I thought of those but will it grab a 20mm axle?

And yes, I doubt there’s a DIY stand on Google images that I haven’t already checked out. I want something a little less hideous.

I’m not above crafting one from scratch but I’ll have to wait until the back yard warms up a bit.

if you take your front Wheel out you could use a minoura excel vergo (replace any of the standard fork mounts using a bit of 28mm od /20mm id ali tube from flea bay and a selection of hope pro 2 front Wheel inserts any combo of axle dia / lenght is possible I’ve made inserts for 135mm 9mm axles and 15mm as well)

there are adapters that work with the Thule one as well

Holds the rear axlw, rather than the fork

Saris mighty mite,fat bike tyre goes in the gaps.

Just discovered this;

Sealey Wheel Chock

At 95mm wide it should swallow anything. With a couple of bungee cords over the top of the wheel it should be alright. Cheap enough to grab a couple and see how I get on.

apart from 4″+ tyres 😉

Which I will never own.

I hope the thread title didn’t give anyone the impression that I have an actual FatbikeTM!

My Muddy Mary’s are as fat as it gets round here.

Turn a dining room chair upside down, should be enough girth to hold a fat tyre in and also double as a fashion stand…much like the bike. 😉

One of these then make new holes wherever you want the uprights to be.
