Quote from: Eric7 on May 04, 2022, 05:03:43 AMI have thought of mounting a pully on my garage ceiling to lift the bike but it is probably too complicated.
That's a very good idea, and you reminded me of a pulley system I used to have set up to stow kayaks in the garage ceiling. Compound pulley design makes the pull-strength manageable. Don't forget about possible clearance requirements for an open garage door.
I wouldn't work on a swinging bike in the air, just use it to hoist and hold bike in position to get clamped up in the stand.
I might have to order one now.
