I recently ran in a triathlon, and if your familiar with triathlon, you’ll know that the event consists of three parts. First it starts with a swim, then you transition from the swim to the biking, and finally from the biking to the running. If your racing to win speed is everything, you want to perfect your swim to top speed, bike long distances quickly, and train to get your run down fast. When biking you want your bike to be very aerodynamic which means, sleek water bottles, skin tight bike suit, and no bike accessories that are unnecessary that will slow you down, like the kickstand. Without a kickstand the bikes don’t stand up on their own, thus I get to build a bike stand.

Measure the width of the bike tire, and mark it centered on the 19" base boards. My tire was an 11/4" , turns out later I had to shrink that measurement down a little bit. The width you come up with will vary depending on your bike. Also you can loosely assemble the pieces like in the picture. 19" boards are the base boards, and the longer ones are for up top.

Your finished! Try it and make sure your bike fits, and if not, bring the upright boards in a little more (I had to do this a few times till I got it right). Enjoy!
