How to Make a Simple Wooden Bicycle Mountain Bike Stand
Vložit

- I had a few left over lengths of 2 x 4 Wood from a project and so decided to make a quick and simple Stand for my Mountain Bike. This works great at keeping the Bike still so that you can easily work on it for general maintenance. You can make this stand to suit any size of Wheel and any Tire thickness.

You're killing me with the tiny paintbrush...
You get a better finish with a smaller brush 👍
@@PhillWyattProjects The size of the brush does nothing to determine the the quality of the finish. A quality brush certainly does.
😂😂😂😂😂you’re killing me re brush
I thought it was quiet therapeutic. Nice job
Dude is he serious like have u ever heard of spray paint lmao
That west coast outro though... 👍🏾👍🏾
😆
I left a 👍 for the simple fact you have a Bosch Drill, you know your tools my dude. Appreciate the video.
Thank you my friend 👍🏻
@@PhillWyattProjects No worries, making a couple of your DIY Stands right now. Simple and to the point, love the idea man. Cheers 🤟
@@PhillWyattProjects And Yes, I'm using a Bosch Drill lol 😉
Perfect thanks. Exactly what I was after. Just built mine following your video and it worked out splendidly.
That's great to hear! 👍🏻 Thanks!
Just what i was looking for. Simple and effective
Thanks Richard 👍
I was going to buy a stand before watching this video. Glad i watched this first. Had a spare 2x4 laying around and some extra black spray paint. Thanks for the great idea, worked out perfectly!
Thanks your welcome!
Simple, cheap and effective!
Thank you for the idea.
Thanks 👍 no problem.
Perfect 'kiss' principle! Keeping it simple...
Thanks 👍
No mountain bikes here but we are surrounded by mountains. Lol. Great video. Cheers Phil.
Cheers Dene 👍🏻 I've got a little folding bike now to put into the boot of the car. Can use it all over. The mountain bike was too awkward to get in and out. Never thought I would like a folding bike but they are great!
Perfect, I'm building mine today Thanks from Los Angeles
Thanks your welcome 👍🏻
Thanks from Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Cheers!
Thanks for the video, I'm going to build this now. Well done!
No problem!
Nice, simple idea and not expensive. Well done.
Thanks 👍
Great idea Phill. It's given me a idea for an adjustable bike stand, using as bit of dowel and a series of holes in the bottom section of the stand, to allow for different tyre widths 👍
Thanks Andy👍 glad to help 🙂
Thanks. I use 2x4 for the base and 2x6 for the sides. Forks perfect!
Sounds great!
Just What I need. Thanks.
Your welcome 👍🏻
Hi Phill, thanks for sharing!
Your welcome 👍
Brilliant. Thanks for this!
Your welcome
Super nice job! I am going to make one for the garage and one for my workplace. my bike is super heavy since I added an electric motor. Now I wont have to worry about it.
No problem 👍 sounds like a cool idea 🙂
Nice design; simple but does the job.
Cheers 👍🏻
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Cheers your welcome.
thank you mate, your video are the Perfect asnwer for my problem
No problem 👍
An American would buy a $200 spray gun for that paint job.
Nice one. I really need one of these.
Cheers!
Nice work man.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Emanuel👍
Very professional 👌
Cheers 👍🏻
Wow that was great, thanks a lot
No problem 👍🏻
I like how you did nice and precise, like how I do things.
Thanks Isaac
Nice work man
Thanks!
Great video thanks. Also I love that you used that tiny little brush to paint it. =)
Thanks Nathan 👍🏻 oh I've had quite a few comments about that tiny brush 🖌️😆

thank you. i had some pvc pipe and small square of plywood available so i made a small footrprint stand for my mtb. The slot in the pipe is for the non drive side spindle to slide down and the pipe holds a crank. Looks like my pedal has to be vertical because the small pipe i used has very thick walls. Pretty slick though. I think it sits on the outer cup of the left bb so i'm not sure i like this but i might carve out a notch for it. Very easy to move the stand and it's small. I don't like how the pipe attaches to the plywood so i added some wooden braces but it's still not perfect. As long as the bike is mostly vertical shouldn't need much though. I built a round stand from a useless rounded desk i cut up. For my 3rd and last bike i will prob build your stand. One I liked had a slightly longer lengthwise wood and shorter cross wood. 22" and 16". I think i'd like to use some threaded rod and bolts to move one side so that i can use it for different widths of tires? And a longer lengthwise piece will probably work better for bigger wheels?
@@alutious It sounds to me like you have it covered 👍 go for it.
@@PhillWyattProjects I have been using this pvc version for a few weeks, works well. When the bikes are close together it is a bit of a pain, so not the best for sliding a bike between bikes, best to have one side open so you can stand beside you bike when you slot it in. And as expected the demo was static, when things are moving around my base (which was bigger than the demo) can make the bike tip over since an mtb is heavy. If i just pick everything up and position it slightly it works fine. End result is it's is a low profile highly efficient way to go. And i did tape some thin left over packing foam over the contact areas at the top of the pvc. Too bad we can't post pics because that would have made the explanation shorter ;-)
@@alutious Yea I was going to say the same thing it's a shame we can't show pics would be interesting to see. I am planning on making another bike stand but this time one that is free standing which the bike frame hangs on. I think people will hopefully find it useful.
Wow great thanks
Thanks Greg 👍🏻
Wow brilliant cousin it’s Chris
Glad you like the video!
Really nice. I just made one myself before watching this or any video, my design is slightly different but I actually think this one is a little better.
Thanks Bruce 👍🏻
TNX BRO💥
IAM from India ❤️
No problem 👍
@@PhillWyattProjects 😁
THANKS,WILL DO IT
cheers!
Nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Think I'm going to do this for putting bikes in the van.
Cool!👍
Thanks sir nice video...
Your welcome 👍
Nice nice master!
Thanks 👍
Little tip - if you don't want your glued pieces to slide about on each other, sprinkle a pinch of table salt over the glued surface before joining it to the other peice - works like a charm!
Thanks for the tip Jan I have never heard of that I will try it out 🙂
Why even use glue? The screws are good enough.
Awesome video
Thank you
Thanks!
Thank u sir
No problem John 👍
Just got into your videos , love the simple design with tools I actually got. Mostly anyway. New sub, making this and your wire stripper tomorrow. Btw action man wants his brush back
Cheers 👍🏻 yea I've had a few comments about the tiny brush 🖌️
Very good
Thanks👍
Nice!
Thanks Neil 👍
Thank you. Great video, clearly explained. Shall definitely be making one of these :)
Have fun!
Nice!
Thanks 👍🏻
Thanks bro , this worked great for my MTB , I added two upright pieces at the end and it made it even more stable
Cheers Marcus 👍 that sounds like a good idea 👍
Muito bom o suporte de solo. Boa ideia
obrigado👍
Cool
Cheers!
Excelente 👌
Gracias 👍
I'll make ❤️ , love from india
Great!
I made afew of these awhile back, very simple & E-Z design, I use them on a regular basis, my fatbike has a custom stand that fits nice & snug!!!
PS: good video bud, I used a spray can 4 my paint Job. 🙏✌
Thanks Greg! I didn't have spray at the time I was just using what I had available. Spray would be a better option though.
@@PhillWyattProjects
Hope you at least invested in some larger brushes by now!
Nice little build - I'm going to build one this evening.
Any ideas on how to make one for the back that turns it into an indoor trainer?
Seen this on berm peaks channel ages ago. Great idea ,i wonder if will work for a 29x2.60 emb
Thanks. Yea I think it would work on larger wheels especially mountain bikes.
I’m gonna make this same one tomorrow, this is perfect and exactly what I was looking for thanks for posting this video, I’m gonna make mine exactly the same as you made
Thanks Chris I really appreciate your comment it's great to know that this video can be useful 👍
Great..you should have used clear vanish though!!
Yea that would be a better idea. I like to use Yacht Varnish.
yeah! 💪
Thanks
Nice job 👍..
1 suggestion > get a bigger paint brush 😆
Thanks👍🏻 yes a few people mentioned the tiny brush 🖌️
Nicely constructed man! Immaculate attention to detail, well done. I made one but without drilling or nails! And it’s a different shape. But mine is not as neat and fancy as yours though unfortunately hahaa lol but works fantastic, check it out let me know your thoughts? 👊🏼
Thanks mate 👍 sure I will check out your video no problem.
Nothing wrong with overkill. I would use L brackets as well. Thanks
The sturdier the better 😁
I want to make one for foam cannon pressure washes
Sounds like a cool idea!
Great and detailed video... what type/size screws did you use/recommend?
Thanks Jim👍 I used standard wood screws. Ceramic Decking Screws would be ideal as they don't rust. Screws of around 8-10cm will do the job.
Good work. But I would recommend I bigger paint brush lol. Jk buddy you did good. I'm building one just like it. Thanks for the tips mate
Thanks 👍🏻 I've had quite a few comments about the tiny brush 🖌️
I was thinking of buying a cheap one on Amazon for $25. I have spare 2X4 wood. After watching this video, I’m pretty sure I’m just going to buy the $25 one on Amazon 😅
Well done, do you think this stand could act as a space saver? Could you stand the bike or have it lean against a wall while the front or back tire sits in your well made stand? Could you try and report if the stand stays still and not slide anywhere?
The stand does stay still. However, I would not recommend storing your bike in one because if you bike is bumped into while in the stand, this could damage the wheel due to the amount of leverage that could be put through the frame into the wheel. It is better as a temporary stand while working.
Great video, can you mount it on de wall
You could mount it on the wall to store it but not for using it.
OMG with that tiny paint brush .... You will be there for days
Yea I should have used a 2" lol
@@PhillWyattProjects No, you should have used spray paint.
Notice your comments earlier regarding the possibility of damage to the wheel if any force is applied to the bike while in the stand. I'm looking at making something similar with slightly deeper rails to support the wheel to store my MTB in our conservatory at home. Bike shops seem to use similar stands from what I've seen.
Yea I don't think it would damage the wheel unless you have very thin tyres like road tyres and happen to fall into the bike while it's on the stand. Making it deeper should make it even more sturdy I would imagine.
@@PhillWyattProjects Thanks, just in the garage now sorting the timber👍😀
Great idea. Before I make some of these do you think they will hold road and mountain bikes sufficiently to safely jet wash the bikes. I'm always struggling with a suitable place to clean my bikes and this solution looks great. Cheers.
Thanks👍 I would not recommend that especially on a road bike just because the pressure might push the bike from side to side and put strain on the wheel. If the pressure is not to high then it could be fine.
@@PhillWyattProjects Thanks, this design has given me some ideas that I’m sure can be tweaked into something that will work for me. Best wishes.
@@Tim955w Thats cool Tim
Muito bom
obrigada!
Hi what was the distance between the upright pieces of wood? How much of a gap did you leave between the tire. The tire is 2" wide, how much space is between it? 2 1/8"? 2 1/4"? 2" exactly? Thx
Hi it's pretty much a snug fit. Maybe 1mm either side to spare.
Great video. what length of 2×4 did you use please.
two 22" pieces and 2, 12" pieces.
I love this design and I'm planning on making it. However, wouldn't it be fine if the front foot was just wide enough to hold the top?
Obviously, the rear foot needs to be wide enough to keep it from tipping over!
Thanks! I am not sure to be honest.
Hi, I know the force that would be transferred to the wheel would be minimal, but would the stand risk a wheel being misaligned in the long run?
That's a good point Lester. I would say that for a mountain bike probably not. But I would not recommend this for a road bike. As long as you don't knock the bike while it is in the stand, then there is no movement as it is balanced.
Thanks Phil! Im trying this one out. I have tons of scrap wood laying around.
@@imaginewagons3777 It's practically free to make and they do actually work surprisingly well!
Please what is the specs of the wood?
Hi
The wood is 2" x 4"
@@PhillWyattProjects Do you think 2”x3” would work? Just I have some lying about I could use
@@PhillWyattProjects I will try it and see
@@PhillWyattProjectsThanks for the idea!
@@paulahamilton7290 yea i suppose they could work 👍
Dose the stand work for both front and rear tyres?
Hi Alex, yes it will work with both.
Two suggestions: You should have been a bridge builder. You should use a smaller brush.
Thanks for the suggestions. It's actually a 4" brush. I just have huge hands 😆
@@PhillWyattProjects Now, that's funny! Thanks for your video - very helpful.
@@pennsylvaniacitizen138 no problem!
Perhaps best to paint first then screw...my suggestion
Reasonable idea 💡
This is a very good idea and .i made this ,but found that my bike hung to the side quite alot.probably because my wheel size is 29 inches.so increased the sides , but still hung over to the side,I was worried about twisting the alloy wheel.So.what I did was inserted an aluminium pipe, I came across. Its about 2 feet in length.glued and screwed in at an angle ,so when th bike sits in the frame,it almost touches the quick release bar....found a small plastic.pipe cut a peice off about 3 inches to length. Inserted it on the aluminium pipe.so when the bike sits in the frame, pull up the plastic pipe and connect it to the quick release bar......hope that helps ,if you have the same problems........
Thanks for the advice. I don't own a bike with 29" wheels so not sure how it works on wheels of this size.
Im building a diy bike trainer and looking for a bike stand that would hold the bike while on a diy bike trainer. Do you think this would hold my mtb while training? Thanks.
Hi, I would not recommend using it for that. This is more just for balancing the bike. It wouldn't be good if you were on the bike as it could damage the wheel.
@@PhillWyattProjects thanks for the reply phil, actually i will be using it for bike balancing/stabilizer while at the back wheel have the bike trainer/roller.
@@vlogmotofi4752 that sounds cool 👌
Is the tire touching the ground or is it slightly lifted from the 2x4 ??
Its slightly off the ground.
what is the size cut wood
14" bottom pieces, 20" Top pieces. 2" x 4" Wood.
What screws do you use?
Just standard wood screws.
Phill, what was the colour ?
Hi Tony it's called Picasso Blue made by a company called Valspar.
Thanks Phillip😁
@@uktony1525 No problem 👍
Mine fall idk why, or maybe the side parts ar to short
Sides too short or maybe the gap between the 2 top pieces is too wide?
Good idea. But treat yourself to a bigger paint brush.
Thanks! I have a habit of making a meal out of painting using small brushes 😆
Great idea,but get a bigger brush man
Thanks
Is the tire touching the floor or there is a space between them? Tq
The tyre touches the floor slightly.
Do you sell it?
Hi no sorry I only made this one 🙂
What an overkill with the screws! You screwed it mate!
At least I can be sure it's never coming apart.
I agree, but he is right, it aint coming apart lol. I think the glue was over kill tho with all the screws.
@@mattsloan5864 yea....if it's glued and screwed I can sleep soundly 😆
When you make yours, you can use one screw and no glue. It’s up to you dude !
9 minutes for 4 pieces of wood Wow !!!!!!!!
Wow.....what a great result? Or Wow that took too long 😆
@@PhillWyattProjects Should be for great results...nicely done...
@@ralphchristianson Cheers!
Couple more screws would be more better
It's pretty rock solid already.
Cheap great idea for a movable stand.like it.
Engineering wise, pilot holes are for the screw threads, transition or clearance holes are for the shank of the bolt or screw, many projects fail on split wood due to no pilot hole drilled for the screw thread, hardwoods are more forgiving but most softwoods will simply split if the thread is too big for the hole...
Glue not needed! Screws are more than strong enuff...I am architekt Each crew can handle 200lbs each and 2 is plenty! Spray paint is 10X faster...
Yes the glue is not essential. I glue and screw practically everything it's a habit. I didn't have any spray paint at the time. Doesn't need to be painted anyway.
And now it’s time to clean that pool 😅
I filled it in.
not sure why you used glue with them screw its not going anywhere lol
Just overkill really.
Why u use such a small paint brush 😂
Your not the first person to ask that question. 😆
