The bike hanger was "featured" on my other thread. It's actually a spine stretcher. I used to hang upside down from the ankles, and the tilt would stretch the spine. Typical if one has the "mechanic's back" syndrome when the ciatic nerve gets pinched down the left leg.
It worked initially,worked fine for a while till it gave me more problems than it resolved.
So according to my doctor and physio, she siad not to use it anymore and it's best I use weights and swimming to re-align the spine when the nerve pinches.
Swimming and floating I find works best, and a little bit of "this and that" works to, depending where it hurts !
Anyway, when I started to build my first bike, the spine stretcher frame was able to support the bike frame and make it eye-level to work on or sitting on a chair while the bike is suspended.
I was able to spin the back wheel and start the engine while on the frame and look at the wheel spinning. Great to see if all is working right.
Yes, I must agree, it is a bit off-topic, but it works and most here I guess are mechanics, so I guess we can identify with back problems anyway.
