Building DIY Mountain Bike Work Stands! | GMBN Presenter Hacks & Bodges Challenge

Here at GMBN we get sent a lot of amazing hacks and bodges through our uploader! 'Hacks' to help make your mountain bike life easier and 'Bodges' to get you home after a mechanical! After Neil made the pull-up bar we thought that we would see if we could get some of our presenters to try to recreate their own versions of some of our favourite Hacks & Bodges! 🛠🤘

7:00 That is bang on 45° *shows 90° angle* . :D Blake is the best. (5+3=11)

[@williamfowler5260]

I was about to say the same thing! I think he meant 90°, therefore cut the 2 pieces of wood at 45°, but since it's Blake I'm not certain...

[@Aditya-wg3lp]

Lol

[@hope4surf]

Haha!

“Blake is the master of playing with wood” “he loves his wood”......

[@hermanmunster3358]

I would love to play with Blske's wood too Geoffwy. Well first George, we're gonna sing a song, and its all about wood, its called the "ham shank song" Oh good, I'm all excited Geoffrey, hahahshaha. Alright Zippy, calm the fuck down, jesus wept! Anybody would think you were repressed in some way! Bungle, will you ask Jane if she will join us, and ask her to get her maracas out, its been a long long time since she has played with them? Alright Geoffrey. Now you can join in too children at home, just ask your mum, or your dad if they can find some sort of musical instrument you can play on, it could be a flute, a trumpet, or you could ask your mum to stretch some cloth, very tightly over her mixing bowl, and bang it, bang it like a pro.

Henry, if mountain biking doesn’t work for you, you would do great in the ASMR community😂

I was like “why the hell bother covering the grass when painting surely a few drops won’t matter” then Henry come along and I learnt why.

[@69sound81]

Blake's stand is the best by it self, but Henry actually made something very good for his first time. I say they are even on this one

Loved it. Bamboo bike kit competition!

[@cliffsangelsphotography]

Henry is Best Boi👌 We need a Hacks & Bodges Presenter Challenge with the cheap bikes. Sabotage each others bike and see who makes it out the trails without walking the bikes

[@benoitbetrancourt7962]

Big Thanks 👍🤘

[@car3353]

Improvised wood working is my favorite hobby

[@ambalee]

Please do some more of these challenges. Very entertaining! Cheers in advance!

[@kahoycrafts]

Henry claims he has no woodworking experience, and then quickly assembles his first lap joint with hand tools!

[@cho4d]

but then he called blakes joinery a "junction" so it checks out. i think he's just got a natural talent for woodworking :D

[@fififinance7469]

Newbie to YT. Instructional posts are so helpful and informative. Thank you!😀😀

[@robinkingswell]

Hi guys brilliant video. Henry had me in tears proper school boy errors especially when Henry kicked the paint pot

[@RJ_Groot]

every time I see Henry I still laugh about Thirsty Kirsty tires.

[@evanbarnes9984]

I really hope Schwalbe picks that up as a new tire!

[@grandpa_6.7]

What video is that in?

[@analizasantoyo592]

Wow 30min video good thing there is a forward. Saves time.

[@dannypryordoyle2710]

LOVE it guys! It was so good I almost left a "dark oak" in my trousers!

[@johnbarron4843]

Damn Henry out did himself 😄🙌🏼

[@francisdee9955]

Ahhhhhh! The perfect afterwork vid🤟🏻🤙🏻 cheers guys!

[@lkassimatis]

Blakey! If you hinged the legs to flip under the base it would have stood up straight when folded I recon. Love this kinda video!

[@Dragonlite_GDC]

Thank you fo sharing guys. It was kind of confusing but at the end of the day, I think that you´ve got what you wanted !! Cheers

[@eldridgesmart5516]

Awesome video thanks. Next challenge could maybe be, DIY Truing stand & Truing wheels. Take care

[@edrcozonoking]

Best advert for buying an actual bike stand😀😅😂🤣

[@5492sparky]

Quality Gents. Very entertaining twenty seven minutes. 👍🤜

[@morganrowe]

A feasting swan Henry?! What a beauty 😆🤙

[@Nathan-by3wb]

Ah yes , I'd love to play swing ball whilst building a bike🤣🤣

[@ericpender2280]

I'm a 330 pound fatman who got my first bike b/c of this channel (fatbike of course). I've already broke a crank, and had a flat but using your channel I've fixed both DIY. thanks for the inspiration gents much love

[@charlesrobinson6444]

Love the work guys, but Blake, hinges - you should have oriented them so that when loaded the bike pushes the hinge shut - that way the risk of structural failure is reduced! Henry, nice try, but mate how you going to play swingball with a bird feeder and bike in the way?!

[@goldmine234]

Just a great change of pace! Super great video!!

[@cajames1]

Brilliant addition to the channel. Thinking Top Gear for mountain biking. For the next one let's see an ebduro bike build for used 80's-90's parts for under $300 followed up with a race.

[@craigbarlow3291]

Just brilliant 😂

[@madmaxsingletrack848]

Loved it!

[@rupedog]

Just started, cant wait to see results!

[@davidwoodley3288]

Made me feel good. After hundreds of videos inspiring me to do things I still struggle with, its awesome so see you guys struggle with a little basic woodwork, gawd help us if you ever try welding :-D

[@martsmarts]

I would add a grip to hold an umbrella over the stand so you could work shaded if needed.

[@ams0876]

The birds are going to crap all over the bike when washing 😂

[@bugboy152000]

#GMBN Screwing zone please. Jokes aside, genuinely cool to see the presenters hanging out at home and having some fun!

[@lessmith8540]

Reminds me of the Chuckle Brothers,..." to me to you"😂😂

[@gergoolle5773]

This is a great challange. And would be a good series. I would like to see more ^^ 10/10

[@colinbucknell2970]

Loved this video! You guys rock!

[@shemshem9998]

Bodge challenge, both get a snapped mech hanger and you have to try and fix the hanger and shifting as good as possible.you can not replace the hanger with a new or similar hanger if you have them in your shop or not.you are aloud to weld and stuff and you can try to use a dramatically different hanger to try and bodge. We will need to test how well the bike shifts and a strength test on how much pressure it can withstand

[@youtubeviewer9523]

Great vid as always guys, keep up the awesome work🤙

[@ZKelly22]

Going to be bird poop all over Henry's bike

[@jakehopkinson2031]

Why is this exactly what I needed to see in my life? QUINNEY I've missed you man, hello you beautiful people, thank you for the video!

[@clintnieves]

Great work boys

[@user-kt2mr2ps1n]

Nice 👍 I look forward to the next video😍

[@leeshaw9828]

Awesome bike stands lads

[@luckyfreemanmtb7000]

I was going to buy a bike stand but now i will make one. thanks guys!

[@MG-eu1hs]

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Poo brown!!!! Still seriously now. Lovely episode guys. Inspirational. Almost makes me sad that I already bought a bike stand. LoL!!!!!!!

[@rfldss89]

personally I wouldn't have made blake's design foldable, but in two separate pieces instead. One for the feet, the other for the pillar, held together by a pin or something. But this seems to work great too :)

[@leatherneckadventures9296]

This last week I just made my own DYI stand. This is great

[@AndyTheBluesHarp]

Welcome to the screwing zone.

[@dylancarey4]

Me and the lads are always hanging in the screwing zone

[@GDF07]

GMBN continuing the tradition of doing DIY projects on the floor instead of using a table.

[@warwickbond8836]

Holds a speed square, calls it a t-square. Claims 45°, inserts right angle on 90° included angle, "yep, 45..."😂 so much wrong. Very entertaining video. Thanks for the laughs.

[@kevp68]

Ask Sam Pilgrim to take part. His bike mechanic skills are legendary. So what will his bodge skills be like????

[@solbel5207]

Love the video! I think it would be great to see this sort of DIY challenges but with the hole gmbn crew (rich, neil, Doddy, Martin) thanks for the video.

[@MattH198]

Maybe not Martin. He can commentate.

[@danielgough4496]

For reference Blake it is called a speed square. 😀

[@chiccorocker]

Good job Henry. For being the first time that came up pretty good! I like Blake's foldable legs idea. Possible alternative: fold them downwards next time, so that it can still stand up with shortened legs, given the folded part would increase their height and level out the main beam. This way you can put it in a corner, but vertical and will still stand by itself :D

[@istillhavetenfingers8150]

This was such a good video!! Rich/Neil vs Doddy next!

[@lwittrock1]

Great video!

[@nielsniels18]

I like the screwing zone.

[@genisis53]

Yes! More Blake Builds challenges!!

[@jago100]

keep up the good work fellas

[@RajK-zd6zs]

This was entertaining! I might make one!

[@kyleslater5245]

I think I’d like to do the Blake one... what’s the chance of getting the measurements for all the bits?

[@JamieG-mc7wn]

Blake should take henry on as the apprentice, and show him how all of this wood working is done. New series??🤔

[@rupedog]

Brilliant vid...v novel idea.

[@74ryanmitchell]

4:32 I think you mean DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles Henry😆😆😆😆😆😆 I don’t think Nick Nolte has done a UK DIY show before

[@curtisf.r6233]

Cool show guys! A bird feeder on a bike stand? Me an my cat can make very good use out of that💯👍😎😸

[@FioCastro1]

Love ur videos

[@davidparrott1507]

Great video guys. I think we can all agree that we all need a screwing zone in our lives. Keep safe all

[@billyheal8102]

20:20 Blake drops the F bom

[@quinncothran6463]

When is fails and bails coming? By the way good video

[@fa1coner]

So now we know trigonometry wasn't Blake's best class in school!

[@nutbike2829]

Nice Video boys

[@1up147]

Dream team

[@simonstucki]

great finally something I can easily afford, still need a to save a bit for the bike though :)

[@kevinkvs9746]

🙈🙈 good effort Henry 🤣

[@MrLmao37]

I built a bike stand after seeing Blake build the first one. Iam going to have another look at it now and rebuild it.

[@zacharyallumbaugh1633]

blake so won

[@lg710]

Nice 👍

[@cho4d]

blake made the perfect elegant folding solution with a strong mechanical joint... then he screwed it all together and cut the legs in half!!

[@chrisfilmsstuff4666]

How old is Henry? Sometimes he looks like an excited early 20's, and other times he looks like an ex carpet salesman, twice divorced with a drink problem. No offence Henry ..

[@hope4surf]

L O L ! ! !

[@kylegoodson729]

Omg just thought the exact same thing poor lad had uphill paper round

[@rupedog]

H: small brush? PAH, I will splash the paint on!!

[@thecovidprisoner]

Park work stand costs £120 second hand, £100 your takin the xxxx . New about £250 basic one as they great bits of kit. Am planning similar based on Park Stand from 3 x 2 and 2 x 4 and 12 mm ply as well. Want folding legs but will use heavy duty gate hinges and maybe a tool tray , if you can fix a bike should be able to build a work stand. Do a wee drawing first too get idea planned but be flexible on it.

[@shanelynch8232]

Blake wins it's indoor and outdoor friendly where as henry is outdoor only and in the uk that gives you 2 months of use

[@calebw707]

whats up guys keep up the good vid

[@DownhillDesireMTB]

my whole bike is a bodge haha

[@Woah.its.alex_]

yea i feel that haha

[@eddierivera7803]

Uhh! I'll be buying my own after watching this but funny though. I was waiting for Blake to add a Hamster wheel to his.

[@timtrial3971]

0:29 I think I might stab my hat too

[@BGraves]

Going to save some money with a wall mount

[@rupedog]

90 degrees Blake! 90

[@danemery8312]

Did Henry say he'd seen Nick Nolte with a pencil behind his ear? Think he meant Nick Knowles 🤣

[@timbaker796]

Blake loves playing with his wood but Henry's more interested in bringing the birds in.... Well....

[@lifeathand1062]

O like both I will say the one on the right could be took with you so if needed during rides on a trip
