I made a skateboard bike rack the other week and its working out pretty well, after redoing it once already. Psyched on it!
I bent some 3/8" steel wire/bar I got into the shapes I wanted. This took some creative clamping and tool use, but it bent well once clamped. I first tried just attaching it all with JB weld, and it held for one ride, but after that I could see that some welds had already broken. So I took it apart, sanded off the weld junk, and redid it with welds and some thin steel wire twisted tightly around each weld, and then clipped the excess wire off. This is working well now and no rattling. Super pumped!
I feel like it looks like a shotgun on my bike, or some other badass looking thing
