DIY Bike Rollers For Riding At Home On Your Bicycle | Is It A Hack or Bodge?
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 1. 04. 2020
- Bike Rollers are a great solution for keeping fit in lockdown. Blake was on the GCN App and saw that someone had made a crazy set of bike rollers using old hubs. Being an ex-professional rider he has a lot of old parts in his garage, so set to work to build his dream home fitness station!
Although rollers are a great solution for riding your bike in the house or garden, we're not sure how great these ones are đ€ Let us know if you think this was a hack, a bodge or a fail from Blake? Should we get one of the GMBN Tech channel presenters to build a set? Let us know in the comments below đ

Do you think you could ride on these rollers? Is this a hack or a bodge? đ€ let us know đ
Iâd like to think so but probably not
Global Mountain Bike Network no I couldnât ride on the rollers I would just ride out side
Noooooooope
Global Mountain Bike Network can you make a in-depth tutorial video on how to build a DH bike from the frame up?
When this lockdown is over, Blake needs to team up with Colin Furze....that will be epic...!!
Blake is the greatest presenter , every time the word roadie is mentioned on gmbn they go nuts , blake is special ...
buddy, your profile photo is a road biker, calm down
@@jackcrawshaw3563 ye , cuz i'm a roadie ( and mtber and a gravel dude , a cyclist anyway , and also that's froome)
Free Wheels BOOM! (U forgot to also having gotten back into BMX since ur childhood tho like me lol - đ)
Oh I just happen to have 5 hubs 1 brake an old chain some rosters and some aluminum just laying around!đ
Doesn't have to be hubs and chain. There are designs out there that use other things. Round bar works even wooden ones as long as you can attatch them with a bar through them and work out a way to drive them like the chain. I've seen one use cut inner tubes but they seemed to heat up fairly fast.
Itâs the quality of what he has laying around that did my head in... thoseâd be on my bikes lol ... my laying around hubs would need rebuilding and regreasing first... so I just sat on the couch and watched this instead! Feel great now đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
This video has inspired me to buy a turbo trainer đđđ good stuff
Adrian Ionut Popescu Hahahaha
đ€Ł
Si pe mine :))) ( Same for me lmao )
đ€Ł
đđđ I watched it instead of going for a quick bike ride and feel just as pleased but with less facemask use haha
Whatever you pay this man double it !!! Hes amazing and the best asset you have period !!!
I don't want to make Blake's head big but I do like the stuff that pours out so fill it up with as much money as needed to shell more content out to us.
"It's not JUNK, it's TREASURES!!"
Did the manny trainer, did my own stand design, this one I might just skip and buy haha not enough random stuffs hanging round yet
This guy is FUNNY no matter what he does. He can do just about anything on a bike yet stays humble, and did I mention, he is funny.
Can you make a tutorial on how to build a mountain bike from the frame up?
This would be brilliant deep insight to the dos and donts, what to look for and how to work out measurements for head sets ect
This could be cool for GMBN Tech!
@@gmbn it could be a part series or something, done right you guys could maybe raffle the finished product as well and use the money for future trips or whatevers needed đ
@@ThisOldPanda That's... That's almost exactly what they already did..
@@th_js yeah?? I need to look further back and watch other videos
Blake's bike / garage workshop build tutorials :)
Yea Tony you will see a lot more of this! đ€ You think he needs to tidy it a bit? đ€đ€Ł
I miss these video's honestly. Straight up fun and I can taste the honest passion.
Blake: I am a master craftsman and can do amazing work on these rollers
Also Blake: I have apparently never seen rollers.
Iâm surprised to see that Blakeâs garage isnât spray painted green.
After watching Gee Atherton's quick isolation workshop tour this is refreshingly relatable, Blake. Thank you for keeping it real life!
Hi GMBN, great channel, loving the content. Video idea for these trying times, as the recent videos have shown. Each presenter must have a pretty good stock of old parts. See who can hack and bodge together the best bike. All the best. Del
Love this! Im a master finish carp and Im ducking this build. Fully bought the trainer first week of quarantine đ€
I'm so glad that your ingenious-idea-workspace is so messy - makes me feel like a (messy) genius myself
@blake that pen flip was something else đ„đ
You just inspired me Blake. Thanks for all the awesome vids. Love watching a MTB'er handyman or is it a handyman MTB'er
Iâm in awe of your garage! I thought you had a bunch of âtreasuresâ, then you went into the loft!!! Nuts.
This looks like every project I have ever done. Well done!
Ty for entertainment through lockdown đđ
This is the bodgiest thing I've seen in my entire life. Love it.
Awesome!
Also, here I thought Blake had done a remake of his garage, then it turns out it was only one of them...good on you ladđ€
BUT now we CRAVE a second remake of this one as well. We need inspiration to fix our own lives during this lockdown...!
Totally need to add more chains. One for a fan, one for electricity to charge a battery, and one for a blender.
How about one to combo this with the manual machine?
Just more proof that I watch absolutely anything that Blake is in. Loved it
Kudos Blake, this was a lot of work - we appreciate your efforts! đ I also laughed out loud when you fell sideways..
The Zimbabwean MacGyver
Pienimusta 100% boet.
Now we need Colin furze ti get his jet bike and show it to Blake and his bicycle of springs
"Yeah.... auld chains!"
Amazing! haha
Loved this! Blake, you're a DIY boss!
I think I will clean up and organize my garage before building my rollers. Blake that was awesome, dude you got skills cheers.
Good idea Marcin!
I made rollers out of mine conveyor rollers. To connect the front and back I used a size 24 tube. Works very well.
That's very creative use of old bicycle parts well done blake!
Great work, Blake. And really funny in this hart timesđthx dude
Man, that's awesome!
Fantastic idea!!! I hope to return soon to record new videos with my mtb
When you came back in lycra I was laughing soo hardđ€Łđ€Ł
3x2 and 2x2 ,sorry joiner in me coming out lol
IÂŽve been waiting for Blake and Colin Furze working together for a long time, I see this as a step towards that. Keep it up!
Crazy! Well done Blake!
I love your whole team, but Blake could have an own channel too and it would be just as enjoyable. These kind of videos, and especially those bikepacking ones when he rides by himself, are really my favorites. Keep it up, guys!
Hell of a build Blake .......well done đđœ
Dude you are a genius! Would love to see a hacks and bodges sidechannel with you as the "hackerman"! Great job there!
Rode the rollers today for warmup and cooldown during my sprint training.
First, awesome job Blake! Second, I feel the pressure is off for me to organize my garage and old bike part bins. Thanks!
What about a GMBN App? This would definitely be siiiiick!!!
I'm impressed. Thats awesome
Haha! Cheers John!
Nice work brother!
Love Blake!!
This inspired me to save up and get a proper roller
On making things there are two ways, ad hoc as Blake is doing and planned. Planned is easier, quicker, and the chances it'll work are greater. Ad hoc is fun!
Blake you are a star!! Fantastic stuff.
The problem with people like myself who know all the proper terminology but donât have nearly this kind of creativity. Blake is my hero
I love these videos!!
I love Blake builds
We haven't had a Blake Bakes for a while now! đ€
I guessed rollers in Blakeâs story!!đ
Logan Nash good guess dude.
@@BlakeSamson8 This needs to go on Hacks & Bodges dude!
Bing-bong Blake my lad, do you have some semi-slicks to use for your Digger? The roller idea is sound, but I'm concerned your dry/wet trail tyres may wear out faster on rollers.
Nice work - the engineering background is coming in pretty handy!
Whats the name of that brake/bracket thing you had on your dj bike?? My friends bike doesnt have any disc brake mounts and i think this would help him out a lot. Love your vidsđđȘđȘđȘ
"And welcome to my messy-ass garage" Same Blake đ
This is amazing! :D
Blake is my favourite GMBN guy!
Greattt!! :D
Too bad I dont have spare parts to do that.... :/
I guess ill just stick to the workout heheh but also... Can you do a "how to bunny hop in your back yard"?
All of that without safety glasses. Hmm..dangerous to be quarantined đ
Love it....!
Hi, could you do a feature on what mtb riders should carry as breakdown/Trailway repairs kit. How can it be carried? Backpack or hip bags, or even strapped to the bike?
Brilliant
Gmbn , yâall are sickđ€
Thanks Dugan! đ
more vids like these please :)
We're working on them Max!
love you so much Blake can you start a personal channel where you do more slope style stuff after carona time
Great vid, Blake is the best. Has anyone tried the poc helmets they're always wearing? They're pretty expensive and wasn't sure if they're worth it, or if it's more of a marketing thing.
DeepseaPolitician they are good helmets and they are a partner of the channel so they must be good
Nice Blake. Thought of countersinking your spindle bolts both sides to give you a bit more width and lateral movement on the rollers/hubs? Should make balancing easier as you effectively widen your balancing point (think how hard it is to ride a bike along a thin painted line accurately).
Love the idea! Nice one blake
love the videos blake
Parabéns pelo canal, estou inscrito no canal e vejo aqui da cidade Campestre mg no Brasil.
Love you using centimetres well done Iâm in uk for over 15 and straggler with inches and feet foot mesures lol
Blake! tour us what's inside your garage please! i am just curious how many bikes do you have and stories to tell! thank you! love from your fans in the Philippines!
I always say it when you've the right tools you're unstoppable
Ye mad thing....great stuff..,
What about cutting the hubs in half and putting so allot bar between them to make it wider and more like proper rollers you can buy which means youâll have more balance and control. Just an idea, loved the vid cheers Blake!
Favorite presenter :)
Nice use of 2 by 1,or 1 by 2 what ever ,đ€đźđȘ
The best! đ€
11/10 for effort dude
Iâm a fan from Indonesia đđŒ
Really good idea, unfortunately donât have any wood so canât do this myself
10 out of 10 for effort Blake.
Fantastic Hack Blake!!
It's a full bodge right there!
What happend to the shed tidy?? Great video
5:27 Nailed it đđ
Somebody should ask @Seth's bike hacks to come and help make home for those tresuresđ. Still keep up the good work!
The side wall of the tire. Won't it get burn out?
Just asking I'm a bit curious cause I am using 700cx28c tire.
Thanks if there will be a response.
More power GMBN
Wow,youve got a lot there in your garage,mate.you could actually build a bike from all that treasure.nice.
Nice
Sick
Good job Blake! Make Bike Roller EVOLUTION version for next. Find Colinfuze, he will add jet engine for the resistance
Relly nice video man, but that poor Halo wide boy hub you drilled!
great lot cheaper than buying a Tacx trainer. Great video!
I think Iâm gonna try this with the old hubs I have, but only 2 just for the rear
