DIY Bike Stand | Minimalist Bike Stand

[@BluePineTree-01]

Nice! Best stand. I wish I saw this sooner. I just made a bike stand for my road and mtb with 2x4s. Going to save this video.

[@swnorcraft7971]

Great idea! A tip for inside corners when working with pvc: drill a 7/16" hole centered in the corner you have marked before you cut with the saw. Then cut just to the edge of the hole. This way, you leave a radius as the corner instead of a sharp 90 degree. The sharp 90 is a built in fracture point and will fail sooner than an inside radius will. Over time, the plastic flexes and becomes brittle. It is not a matter of if, but when. Thanks for sharing.

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

Great point, thanks for sharing! Always room to improve 👍

[@lidiahaliah921]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge...this is a very easy example and it helps tidy up my bicycle at home.

[@kwennemar]

This is the BEST! Thank you! My MTB tires are 2.6 and 3.0 29ers. I had some 3" PVC laying around and it worked great. In the install I turned the hanger off square so the handlebar width is in line with my pedals.

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

Awesome! Glad it worked out for you!

[@GB-sg5ht]

You're a Genius, i Will try this, thank You! Greetings from Uruguay

[@ralphsammis7330]

Hint - if you show bike in the rack first it helps following what you are doing. Great, simple idea for DIY!

[@OscarRodriguez-cm1hl]

Good idea. With the price of bikes today who need to spend unnecessary money on a bike stand when you can do it at home with leftover pvc. Genius keep up the good work

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

Thanks!

Excelente idea y muy simple de hacer gracias saludos desde Argentina

[@ebn7722]

If you space your screws correctly, you can also sandwich a velcro between the wall and the stand. This way, no worries that it fall down if upright!

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

Great idea! I love it

[@Toob41]

Oh, a velcro safety strap to wrap around the wheel - I had to think about that. Good one!

Pvc pipe idea is genius could you do it so it could swivel?

[@boystoys5712]

awsome experience

[@ranger6380]

This is awesome 🌋

[@tsnaza250]

Definitely a sharp idea!! Cost effectiveness does get a bit "gray" if one doesn't have those tools, but for those that are curious - Harbor Freight, all day long!! I suspect (correct me if I'm wrong) in colder environments (winter in MN) if the bikes are stored for a period of time, the tires will 'soften' and possibly lose the connection with the PVC?

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

Thanks! Yes, if the tire pressure fluctuates too much it can cause the tire to be a little more loose. I have experienced that but the bike still didn’t fall over!

[@robertschlumpberger22]

Nice video! This will be helpful for making a stand on the fence outside the house for before and after my rides. Certainly better than leaning on the car in the driveway.

What if your tires goes flat?

I’ve had the tire go flat and it still stayed upright. Not near as secure but it didn’t fall.

[@benpar8120]

BRILLIANT

[@kylewinslow5650]

great idea. Have you tried just cutting the pvc "wings" at a slight angle so the opening is narrowest at the front and deeper at the back instead of going through the heat gun step?

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

Thanks! No I haven’t tried that. In theory that should work...I’ll have to give it a try

[@Stormsteed]

For what it’s worth, by heating and bending the PVC, the bracket gains some inherent springiness that is helpful when installing the bike tire in the bracket. I don’t think you’ll have that effect by cutting the PVC at an angle, and you’ll lose the clearance against the wall where the bracket momentarily expands when it is receiving the tire.

[@martinmccrea7745]

Great idea - simple but all the best ones are!

[@TRNSL8]

So AWESOME. Thanks for passin on this tip!

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

You’re welcome!

[@moneybee]

Simple yet effective! Just need to be careful not to overheat the PVC or it'll char! I wouldn't have thought to make one like this. Really great tutorial. Just subscribed, keep it up!

[@davidporter1039]

Cool innovation. I'd suggest start with a demo THEN tell us how DIY. I had to search toward the back of the video to see how it worked and determine if I wanted to take the time to watch the build. First rate DIY... Thanks.

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

Thank you for the feedback! I’ll definitely keep that in mind for the next one 👍

[@joeykai6009]

Genius idea..i’ll try it.

[@LookatBowen]

Nice one, I am so glad I stumbled upon your video. It is a great idea with little cost involved. I've got a 4" fat tyre e-Bike, quite heavy, and I want to have the bike standing vertically against the wall. I probably need a thicker pipe or possibly a PVC Gutter, but I am sure I can replicate what you did. Worth a try. I was thinking I would add a further stopper at the bottom to ensure the back wheel doesn't roll away from the wall.

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

Awesome! Ya, I think you would need a larger PVC pipe, but in theory it should still work for you. Good luck!

[@abetadeo1609]

Thanks a lot for the,idea

[@PuntokUno1014]

Sir about the mtb stand. Is it neccessary to have a wall for the wheel to rest on? Or can i use this stand anywhere even in the outdor? Thank you

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

You can use it anywhere as long as you have something to attach it to (wall, tree, etc)

[@adammiller6606]

Coolest rack ever. Thanks Bro. 👍🤓

[@nitinsnakeguy]

What if I fix the piece for roadbike like the MTB piece. Would it be able to hold the roadbike in regular position?

[@joshmcclintock2492]

Hi, honestly I haven't tried it that way but I don't see why it wouldn't work...

[@nevioberki9894]

great Idea! do your brackets work if the bike is standing up against the wall with the rear wheel at the bottom & the front wheel at the top within your bracket?

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

Honestly I haven’t tried to see if it works to hold a bike vertically. I’ll have to give it a try sometime...

[@DaveZee01]

Good idea. I guess one could mount 2 brackets (stands) one for each wheel, vertically against the wall?

[@RideAlongside]

Totally trying this! Thanks Josh. -Nick 😃👍

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

Sweet! Let me know how it turns out 👍

[@ozgurinsan]

How about bike working bench ?

[@JPO1184]

You said an inch above the center line of the rear tire, but you're mounting the road bike example vertically by it's front tire. Is this also 1” above center?

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

Thanks, sorry I didn’t include that in the video. For the road bike I mounted it right where the tire made contact with the wall. I just set the bike up and used a pen to mark where the tire made contact and mounted it there.

[@Macm73]

Better to use a hook on the rims. Finished many a ride only to find a tyre deflated in the morning due to a slow puncture. Better to be safe than sorry.

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

I was curious about that as well so I deflated my tire while it was in the holder and it didn’t fall over. Definitely wasn’t as supported as it is with an inflated tire, but it brought some peace knowing it wouldn’t completely fall over!

[@Macm73]

@@PennyPinchingCyclist was it a mountain bike tyre. Wouldn't be so confident with a 25mm road bike tyre. Not dissing the holder, but as someone who has a melt down if my bikes get a scratch so the mere thought finding my bike in a heap on the garage floor is something I just can't contemplate. 😉👍 .

[@PennyPinchingCyclist]

Ya, it was a mtb tire. And I totally understand. It breaks my heart to see a bike take a slow tumble to the ground 😳
