1 1/4 and two inch trailer hitch bicycle work stand

Works on everything I own. Made from junk stuff I have been saving for 15 years. If you flip the “T” in the second photo it fits a two inch hitch. As you can see it also fits into the back of a bike carrier. I’m tired of field repairs with the bike upside down. I ordered a bench mount bike work stand. When it comes I will figure out away to mount it on my “T”. I’ll probably use right angle U bolts and wing nuts so it can be mounted on either end. It will be stored inside the vehicle until it’s needed.The third photo is the type of work arm I’m waiting for, but it’s a bench mount instead of a wall mount. It may need to be taller but I won’t know that until I see how it is with the work arm.

Here is the adapter that makes it fit anything, including wall or bench mount arms. I might need a longer adapter, but this was the only piece of 2 inch square tubing I had. I would hate to have to buy something. The bench mount arm has an leg that mounts to the bench and that might bring it up high enough.

Finished project.

I welded on stabilizing legs that don’t interfere with trailer hitches. Now it can be used anywhere. I can ditch the vice and pound a rod or pipe into the hitch pin hole to anchor it into dirt. I love this thing. Aluminum would be so much lighter.

hole to drive a pin into the ground.
