Sk93 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 is the bike garaged?If so, you could probably rig up a rope & pulley system from one of the garage rafters.Probably not the SAFEST thing in the world, but if you take your time rigging it (and protecting your bike with towels / sponges etc...) you'd probably be alright?

Bill_on_a_bike Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Put the bike in gear (ie lock the back wheel), tie 2 ropes to the head stock, and pull them back, and to the left and right, till the front wheel is off the floor, then tie them down.This is somewhat a bodge job but it just came to mind. Good luck whatever you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Car jack and a board under the centre point?Leave in gear and brace/lash it into position - or better yet get someone to hold it upright for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
