How do you fasten the tires to the bracket? Drilled hole and bolts to lock or u shaped end on the bracket? Thanks! Great design, super cheap and functional, just what I needed!
I bored out the hole in the bracket to fit the mounting bolts on the rim and then used the nuts that came off the bike and double nutted so they wouldn't fall off.
Not sure why you would feel like that. I used it on some very rough terrain, and I have never had any issues. The bungees allow it to move a little to adjust for uneven ground, and the cart is very wide, so it is exceptionally stable. Unless you are talking about the 2x4. It just slides around a bit; it doesn't hurt a thing.
Just wondering how much weight it could handle. My kayak is about 65 - 80 pounds loaded. You think there's any chance the brackets would break off the 2x4?
So much simpler and so much more effective than all the pvc trolleys. Thanks for sharing!
Actually, that’s an epic idea. You know how many times I’ve had those tiny cart tires stuck? Those big ones will traverse anywhere I think.
Good enough is good enough . Nice .
That’s one of those why didn’t I think of that items! Great idea.
Thanks
Well done! So simple yet so effective.
So simple, yet so effective! Well done Sir, I shall be making one this week. Thankyou
Triumph 9909 sounds good. Thanks for the compliment.
Like the idea of bike tires. Allows you launch the kayak right into the water without submerging the axle - no scratching the hull.
That is exactly what I was going for. I am glad you noticed. Thanks for watching. Sorry it took so long to respond.
There is no axle, and that's what worries me. But I'm very excited to make me own with this design.
Killer!
Awesome idea.
Maybe an old piece of indoor/outdoor carpet stapled beyond the 2X4 to make it easier to slide the yak on/ off.
That is a damn fine idea.
A+ for simplicity. Have you done any modifications?
I have not changed a thing.
Genius
simple and effective
Not bad, I thought it would be bad.
so how has it worked for you all this years? did it last?
$6.00 if you already have the bike wheels and tires. Those are expensive if you have to buy them
Depending on where you live you can get bike tires free from the garbage.
simple but it looks like this might work for even larger boats.
Easier than the axle way with pvc.....thanks. I have 2 of the same Walmart ones.....I think I'll try this
Anytime. Please subscribe. I will be posting new videos.
It is actually easier and faster to make it like this instead of using PVC. Cheaper too!

Ok... this looks legit.
Looks great
Thanks.
Exactly what I was thinking of doing. I wonder if those brackets could handle an 85 lb canoe
If the brackets aren't strong enough you should be able to get a lil more heavy duty "L" brackets the will work just as well.
Thanks for watching
Saw someone use the brackets from a bed head
What size of bicycle tires?
What type of brackets did you use?
jailhousefreak a heavy duty 6" or 8" L bracket
Why do I get the feeling that at the first big bump the cart will roll 90 degrees?
Not sure why you would feel like that. I used it on some very rough terrain, and I have never had any issues. The bungees allow it to move a little to adjust for uneven ground, and the cart is very wide, so it is exceptionally stable. Unless you are talking about the 2x4.

Are those 20inch tires?
Yes, they are 20" tires. Thanks for watching!
Did you just use regular bolts for the axles?
I used the nuts that came off the bike
How did you attach the L brackets to the 2x4?
One carriage bolt and one eye bolt per side.
Just wondering how much weight it could handle. My kayak is about 65 - 80 pounds loaded. You think there's any chance the brackets would break off the 2x4?
Steven E. Sloan no I don't think that would be a problem. There is only a portion of the weight on the cart itself.
Geeeenioussssss
Thanks. :-)
Simple is better.
Hey my man copied your design thanks for sharing ✌🏻🏴
