DIY Stationary Bike Stand

Turn your regular bike into a stationary bike quick, easy and cheap! This project will only cost you $45 CAD compared to the $200 + it would cost you to buy a stationary bike. Save Money, Stay fit, and put your bike to use all year round.
Here is a link to my video where I make a cheaper version: DIY Stationary Bike Stand • DIY Stationary Bike Stand

Hello. Same here - ribs and shoulder. I want to build this; Does it work for 29 inch mtb?

Wow, this "bike trainer" video is a great find! I really appreciate the creator's detailed demonstration and explanation of how to use a bike trainer properly. As an ebike user, I'm always on the lookout for new and innovative products. Speaking of which, I recently came across a new crowdfunding project for the freebeat Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike. This bike seems absolutely amazing! One of its outstanding features is the ability to be charged when in indoor mode. It's truly mind-blowing how this e-bike combines indoor fitness and outdoor exploration. I can't wait to see this project come to life! Keep up the great work, guys!

Hi, great vid. About to make one & thought I'd look online first. I'll use your template. Cheers Bill. Next will be a bike repair stand. Maybe you have a tutorial on that aswell, will have a look. 👍👍

[@thenoneckpeoplerepresentat8074]

You could add a roller to the base for extra resistance. I’m going try this if it works out I’ll make one with metal square tubing.

[@BillOfAllTrades2016]

Ya. This is just a no resistance bike stand. I have seen people put a couple rolling pins under the wheels but I was going for a super budget model. Thanks for watching. Let us know how your build goes. Please like and subscribe

[@gabriell6914]

Very good and creative work, and very simple. I'd just add that bike seat should be adjusted for your height/ length of your legs (and the viewer's each their own). You don't want to hurt your knees. Go!

[@BillOfAllTrades2016]

Yes that’s very true. The only reason I kept it so low is because it’s my wife’s bike. But I see what you’re saying. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe

[@VishalGupta-qi7ek]

What should I use to get resistance?

[@silentscream0512384]

That would be the difficult part, I was thinking some sort of generator motor and a variable switch so you can apply different load.

[@silentscream0512384]

Or friction using a caliper and rotor with a fixed lever. That wouldn't be accurate over time, but it seems cheaper

[@harilubovac9155]

Yeah done mines had to make a slight adjusted as got a ebike don't laugh got a injury at moment so this was idea to build and it works well so be trying this for a while what do u recommend for resistance measures to put in ?

[@BillOfAllTrades2016]

If you drill two holes in the side of the wood frame on each side the install some heavy duty rolling pins to the frame so the bike tire will sit on the pins, that should give you resistance. Thanks for watching. Hope this works. Please like and subscribe

[@00firman]

Thats amazing. I suggest you to add any roll for the load

[@BillOfAllTrades2016]

Yes I’ve seen people put rolling pins for resistance. If you like more resistance then you can go that route. Thanks for watching. Stay safe and please like and subscribe

[@dooleh84]

Not to take away from your work dude, but you can buy foldable factory made stands with adjustable magnetic resistance for the back tire, and a stand for the front wheel included for like 60 euros, probably for less if you find it used. But if you want to make something like this and can make it for free, maybe somehow add a weight to one part of the back wheel (secure it so it has absolutely no chance to fly off and kill someone) so you aren't just spinning a light bicycle wheel through thin air, because that won't get you far fitness wise, help you build muscle or lose a lot of weight.

[@BillOfAllTrades2016]

Thanks for the tip. You know bikes have brakes right? I just lightly press the brakes to add small amount of resistance. Fold up units like you referred to here in Canada cost about $250. This cost $44 and works just fine for myself and many viewers.

I'm recovering from an ankle injury and I need to do this! Curious what would the dimensions be for an MTB with 29er wheels?

[@BillOfAllTrades2016]

I would say 19 inch should do you good. The way I found my measurements was to stand the bike straight up and measure from the floor to the bolt that holds the wheel. Then add 4 inches to that measurement for elevation. Hopefully this helps you. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe. And if you want an easier and cheaper way to make this, here is an improved version I made recently: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKXIep5to9ijb68

What should i use for a bike with 700×38c

[@BillOfAllTrades2016]

Go with the same design. You may have to make a taller upright post tho and longer boards front to back. For the uprights, measure from the bolt to the ground then add about 3 inches. Then measure the tire at its longest point and add about 2 inches for the side boards.
