A few of you guys have asked if I had plans for building my bike rack I use in my truck and bike trailer.

Well here is the parts list.
Do not use glue!.
This way the length can be adjusted by adding or removing sections.

1.25" (OD) pvc pipe.

This plans for a 13 slot rack.
That's 13 "T's" x 3 + 2 = 41.. 1.25" (ID) T's
6 elbows
13 lengths of pvc in 8", 13" and 9".

No need. If you need an outside or inside the shop bike rack, it's stability is there.

You bet.....definitely need indoor racking systems......may be building soon. I built a surfboard carrier out of pvc piping for one of my bikes.
 
I see the concept and I'll want to build it taller and with wider slots but in my neighborhood metal piping and fittings would be required. Thanks, JD for your inspiration!
 
Great concept,and simple to build .I am going to give this a try,thanks for sharing JD.

I hope I can refrain from using glue.

I believe your math may be a little off. I count 50 "T's" in that design.

12 - bottom front
12 - bottom rear
12 - top
14 - center
50

One will also need 14 lengths of the various straight pipes...one more than the number of slots.
