-Take 2x4 and build up at the bottom so it stays uprightI -drill angled 1" holes into the 2x4 and wiggle the bit around a bit -slide in the steerer end of of some scrap forks into the holes. ta-da! you have a very cool bikey cable spooler / coat rack / etc.

Hey All, Over the years we've tried a variety of ways to store cable housing and we're still looking for the ideal solution. Anyone out there have a good way to store them?

Get a bmx wheel.
Cut 2 circles of plywood that are larger than the diameter of the wheel (but no more than that of about a 24'' or so).
Attach the wood to the wheel like spoke covers. You want them to make a channel like that of the rim.
You may attach your plywood wheel to a wall or table edge by the hub. You want it to have the ability to spin fairly freely.
To load: insert approx 1'' of housing into the valve hole of the rim. Slowly spin the wheel while guiding the housing onto the rim, into the channel formed between the two layers of plywood.
If you are still confused, contact the Bike Pirates for a picture.

Hey,
One of our volunteers put a couple things together that work great for us. If you go to our photos, under Busy Day, you'll see what I'm talking about. It's a combination of heavy cardboard mailing tubes for misc pieces that we reuse, and electrical conduit as a holder for wound housing. They're mounted to one of our workbenches
