Default Wheel lifter

I was sick of trying to hold the wheel while trying to get everything in place.

So the answer was simple, i made this wheel lifter. I'm pleased to say it works brilliant...

Oh i also made my own bike ramp lol...

Waiting for the schematics and materials list I will say I was wishing for something like this the last time I had to change the tire. Brilliant!

Wow that's pretty sweet!

If you're not a welder/fab guy, you can make a block of wood by stacking various thicknesses until you get it right, such that the axle holes all line up just right, and then just sit the wheel on it. Once you get it right, screw the blocks together and use it every time.
