Turntable

[iansoady]

It's only to turn the bike round - not leaving it there. The stand would just flip up over it anyway.

Not the stand, the wheels. If it's in front of the wheel riding in, after turning it will in front before riding out.

You would have to get the wheels over it at some point in the process.

And re the T idea, it would probably bend under the weight.

But then it would go under the turntable as well and defeat the object. Unless I misunderstand?

Does the board or the bearing go on the floor in your design? I assumed it was the bearing

If the strips of tape are to help locate the stand, they wouldn't be too helpful if facing down

Hence the puzzlement over the suggestion about the longer board.
As-is, the wheels will be lower than the datum for the stand, meaning more effort to lift it. If the turntable is long enough for both wheels to rest on it, the effort will be no different from doing it on level ground.

Ah, now I get what you mean. It won't stay under the bike but will only be put in place for rotational purposes. It only weighs a couple of kg so easy enough to pop in and out. So once rotated I'll probably drop it off the stand.

If it was long enough for the wheels to sit on it, it would be much heavier and also pretty tippy.

Not only that, the plate would possible deflect and ground out which means you’d need to raise the lazy Susan, brace it from the top or have one hell of a thick plate.

Wish I'd thought of that
