Portable bike stands take up a lot of floor space and suck to deploy and collapse every day. I’m in the process of converting the main stand upright tubes and head to attach to the side of a toolbox cart instead of the base of the portable stand.

Look mah, no supports:

Too much floor space wasted:

I was afraid the pedals wouldn’t clear when the head is mounted vertical, but it looks like I still have around 5-10 millimeters of clearance. I still need to design and print the actual clamp mount to the toolbox. This was just a mockup with some wood clamps to check pedal clearance first.

    Just curious, why did you need this? Does that particular clamp not rotate the grip sideways? I’ve got a cheapo stand that rotates and this one is seemingly way nicer. Edit: nevermind I get it. You’re making a portable bike stand into a bench mounted one!
