Nice,but I'm thinking 5 below must come out with a slip into the slot one size fits all $5 apparatus.

Crazy Amazon these days. I was about to do this when I found that Amazon sells bike trainers for $24.00. Insane.

Good DIY. Using jack stands gives stability but also increases the cost. May be a stand made from metal pipes may make it cheaper. On the other hand, I found a bike pedal exerciser for $40. Now I am wondering if it is worth doing any DIY at all :)

this guy sounds like burt from the big bang theory

save a dollar and use your wrench instead of the rubber mat to tighten your pegs

If you have a quick release spindle I’m thinking it needs to be swapped out for a different one in order to add the pegs?

Just discovered this vid. Love the solution. I weigh over 400lbs and cant find a bike stand that can support my weight. This seems like an wwesome solution, except for the bike pegs being a point of fault due to my weight.

Yay! FREE BIG MAC

All one should require is to elevate the frame and used zip ties to secure it to the blocks.

This bike was really easy to assemble czcams.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. czcams.com/users/postUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.

Arrived as expected with all parts intact, also included two hex keys for assembly. czcams.com/users/postUgkxwOUUBdw8-88Iu4QnQS7q6b2NwZkHiYVl Had to adjust mine slightly to fit my bike, this was easy enough with instructions. I bought it to train with my track bike and found it to have resistance similar to climbing a slight gradient. Takes a while to learn to balance but there is plenty of guidance to help on the internet. Edit: There was more resistance at lower speeds because of the number of contact points but at higher speeds it is much easier as you don’t have to contend with drag.

Thanks to temu, there are brake pads for only $2 shipped Also, I have an idea like instead of buying the stepping pegs, I'm thinking to use 2x4 to make a support stand

Genius !

Can be to use in 1.95 tire the front wheel?

Very well thought out and done! Bravo!!!

Hey, very neat idea! Just the kind of diy invention i came to youtube for today. Think i will try this one! Better than buying a new machine. have a good one!

Plz add links to buy the products used.

Thanks for your help! Makes exercising intervals while studying seamless

Great item very Portable and easy to clean.

Is this car for sale

What a relaxing review. I also love McDonalds. Thanks for the video!

Jack gamble jack be quick, in Jill Gamble he put his fuuckstick

Hollly Crapzilla there Batman...I was trying to find an Indoor Bicycle Trainer for 24" Bike... Nothing... Not even on Amazon. I could buy one for a 26 - 28" bike, then modify it... Sheesh! Not my first choice. I love DIY projects and found yours... I've already got the Jack Stands and all of the tools. All I needed were the Pegs and a Stabilizer... I bought them before I finished watching the video... lol Thanks Soooo much 🙂 I love DIY minds 🙂

😂😂😂😂😂

Such a great idea! It takes 5 minutes to put together. I bought everything at Wallmart including the pegs. It works perfectly and it's very stable! The zip ties create a good, adjustable resistance. Thank you very much!!! I enjoyed your sense of humor. Now I am going to buy a bike tablet holder and I am all set, I have no excuses for not exercising :-)

Ngl, you're making me hungry 😆 I can definitely use some of those fries, they looked and sounded good!

This man's smart

I might have to try that! I am older and that would give me the exercise I need without the dangers of riding on the streets! 🙂

Great video! Thanks.😊

Just wondering did anybody do this a couple of years ago? Wanted to know how the bike was holding up from a durability standpoint and also holding the weight of the person as far as sturdiness

Instead of the brake, use a bike roller( they are used to service motorcycles) placed under the rear wheel. It makes the same noise as a cycle trainer

Very fun idea! The concern using the brakes as resistance, however, is not in wearing out the cheaply replaced brake pads, it's in wearing out or damaging the rims. Wheels are much more expensive to replace than tires.

Nice.

Just a couple of points, on the ends of the stunt pegs there are flats which you could use your adjustable spanner on. Secondly, I would use your gears as resistance rather than wearing out brake pads every month.

What have you used under front wheel? It’s a brilliant idea

2) Small Jack Stands 1) Pair of BMX Pegs 1) Gripper to tighten BMX Pegs MINUS the Zip ties, & Rubber bands. 👍 GOT IT... Great Idea By The Way....

Hook up the bike to grain mill for resistance and good gluten free flour.

I've never seen a batmobile through a pc window before. Nice! Which CPU cooler is that? the TF2 is a horizontal type, not a vertical twin tower like seen in the video. I'm a fan of Evo series of SSDs as well. Haven't had any issues with them yet.

Marvelous, marvelous!! I'm nearly seventy and this idea is what I'm looking for. So inefficient (or cheap) and still get my exercise (no riding on the streets where crazy people are). Kept on looking for something on YT and found it useful. Probably might find jack stands wee bit less at flea market 's (maybe) but anyway much thanks for the wonderful idea. Planted in my head!!

Very nice, just needs the restore to original factory condition others have commented, 8/10, $15k.

I would enhance this "build" with fiber pads. Just grind the rubber off and glue fiber pads you can cut to any shape. Then use oil to get more resolution with brakes.

Thank you so much for this video 👍😊

excellent idea I was looking to buy one but they are very expensive I have some jacks from my car that are new I am going to use them for that thanks.

Neat! I found this video while looking at bicycles generating electricity (tire off, belt on wheel looped to a car alternator or motor/generator, for resistance.)

most bike pegs on amazon say 3/8 inch 26 teeth. is that the right size id need? Also, couldn't i jack up the front wheel instead of the back wheel, so i can use the gears for resistance?

Yo!! THANK YOU!

Ok I have a one speed cruiser bicycle. There are no gears for resistance and as you know those bikes have a foot break. Is this idea only good for other type bikes? Thanks

Exactly what I was looking for!! Thx

Definitely the best stationary bike hack I've seen. But why can't you create resistance by increasing the gears on the bike? Full disclosure, I'm brand new (after several decades) to biking again. Thanks very much for the video!
