How To Build A Manual Trainer For $25 - DIY

So i have always seen people using these manual trainers and to be honest I was curious if they actually did help. I decided to spend some time and build one along with you guys to see how it works and how they actually felt.

For the diagonal cuts, if you scribe your pencil line on the inside of the piece of wood you offer up, you will get it perfect each time, as long as you hold still and draw both lines without moving the wood.

[@polynikes158]

My man! I built this exact set-up yesterday with around $40 bucks and 40 minutes. Literally within 20 minutes of using the trainer, I can now finally manual. I really appreciate you sharing this with us.

Yeah thats a great tip! I bought a longer one and have been doing it that way!

Thanks man !

@Amazing Ajay i think what he was saying is instead of hooking the bungee cord on the spokes, feed it through the spokes around the rim and then hook it back on the cord

Kyle, I love your training videos. You and April have great chemistry on screen. Your instructions are clear, succinct, and broken down to very doable steps to learn and build upon.

This has to be the dopest "basic" thing I've ever seen. Well done!!

[@markusb.7298]

Best construction I've seen so far! So easy and yet so substantial! Just built it some days ago. Here in Europe it's about 40€ incl. tax for all the wood, screws and stuff. The 2x4 was almost not enough, I would recommend a bit more than 8 ft. However for someone starting to practice manuals that trainer is just terrific! As the rear wheel is locked you can play a lot with your rear brake to find your balancing point. Just pull up and hit the brake. This will hold you mid air and you can work on your body position (legs, hips, head, etc.). By releasing the break you can then improve your balancing skills. Works really great for me! Thank you very much for this amazing work, Kyle!!!

[@mtbchaplain]

Just built one, and it is awesome! Greatly improved my manuals even after only a few minutes. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

omfg that’s the best couple hours i’ve ever spent! 45 minutes on this thing and it’s like “see, you DID know how to do this after all!” can’t wait to pass this rig around to my homies! Heads up - 1 watch to the end! 2. taking off the chain helps a LOT at first if you’re a mere mortal ✊🏼

Hey Kyle, great video, thanks for the kind words, your an excellent instructor, your very easy going and patient makes your vids easy to watch,keep up the good work.

[@pirochu666]

Thank you, Kyle, for this manual-machine plan & video! I just built one on Monday (my Memorial Day project). Out of numerous manual-machine plans & videos out there, yours was the most "practical/realistic" (not too fancy/complex or too rough/poorly) - just right for me as an average builder/rider. The material cost was spot on ($25+tax at Home Depot), too. It took me a bit longer (a couple of hours), only because I was measuring/marking all the pre-drilling locations accurately (vs just eye-balling them). This was such a fun project, and thanks again for making/sharing this awesome plan/video, Kyle! And ultimately I'll also be able to manual out there, hopefully, eventually... Cheers! :)

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thats so awesome! Thanks for the nice message! I am really glad it helped you out and i cant wait to hear of your manual success! Check out the how to manual video we did on here the other day too and that paired with the manual trainer and you will be killing it in no time!

[@johndawd4616]

So did you go out and do it ?

[@pirochu666]

PS. Gotta practice with the chain taken off, in order to get the full effect on this, definitely.

[@kellywarne8335]

Kyle, you inspired me to improve my manualswith, with a trainer like this I know I can do it. I'm going to use two carriage bolts with a washer and wingnut to attach the cross brace section. Than I can break it down and store it in the corner of my garage. Cheers, Kel

It is a GREAT training/how to video. I appreciate how you demonstrate your EXPERT knowledge base. So many videos are generated by people who are trying to think their way through it. You describe how as well as why without hem & haw figuring out what comes next. I have more than 20 years experience in education (middle school, high school, college teacher/instructor) as my 2nd profession after retirement from my first. If you have not thought about it before, you might think about it, you are obviously having fun.

Then come back to the trainer on my Niner once i get good at manuals on the 26”. #progression Thanks again!!!

Kyle and April, your videos are amazing. I wanted to share an experience with a manual trainer I built before seeing this. My back tire was really wedged into place, and I was braking to avoid falling backwards. I think this put a lot of torque on my hub/wheel and it blew up on a ride the next week. I can't be 100% sure my trainer is what caused it but it might be helpful to rely on the cord and not the brake, if falling backwards (or just jump off).

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thanks for adding your experience Dave! We need to do a how to use the manual trainer video too!

Suggestion when doing the wheel brace angles, pull the bike out and mark from the other side using the strait boards to draw your lines. When you cut the 2nd one use the first as a template.

[@ritcheymt]

I'm a 55 year old who is starting to get into mountain-ebiking to rehab my arthritic right knee to hopefully avoid a total knee replacement. (When having my knee scoped during meniscus surgery years ago, it was revealed that the inside surface of my right kneecap looks like it's been through a cheese grater.) I've been wanting to start doing squats or at least lunges to strengthen my knees but haven't done it because it's both painful and boring. Then I watched you doing this training at 16:20 and thought "Okay, this looks fun!" During this training, you're basically balancing by doing squats/lunges. If it's as fun as it looks, the fun might distract me from the pain enough to want to do this every day. Thus, you may have just made knee rehab enough fun for me to actually want to do it!

[@sinerge2832]

So easy and I like that it uses up almost all of the lumber. Like others have said, just draw your line on the inside for the braces. I used a Velcro Easy Hang Strap (Medium) and National Hardware Adjustable Bungee Cords, both on amazon. So my total cost with today's lumber prices was around $50.

If you don't have a square take the bike out the stand before holding the diagonal where you want it. You can then scribe the other side along the horizontal support and vertical back brace to mark your cut line exactly.

[@dirtyfingersninja]

lol yep

[@dreadsanddirt5966]

My son and I built one a few months ago. I could already manual a bmx bike with fair success but I could not manual my mtb to save my life. The one observation I made was that the trainer made it deceptively easy to get the front wheel high enough to hit the balance point. It takes almost no effort at all to get the front wheel up on the trainer but out on flat ground it takes a whole different level of oomph. Ended up going to a parking lot down the street one night and forcing myself to commit to getting the front wheel higher and the rest was gravy but the trainers are a neat tool for sure.

[@AprilRideMTB]

Yeah totally i find that using the trainer really helps get people comfortable in the balance point, the pull is much different though

[@laurisolja]

Great tutorial, I bet anyone can do a manua ltrainer with your instructions! I went to do one but I ended up doing a simple bike stand as I didn't have all the needed wood for complete manual trainer. Gotta head to a hardware store ! :D

[@turboturtle8977]

Awesome. Will try and make myself one just like that. As simple as it gets, at 10:32 those lines could possibibly have been drawn rather from the inner part of the lumber. That might have sorted the notching angles in one step.

Hey Kyle. Just subscribed to the channel after me & swmbo watched some videos. Instructions are great and really loving the technical aspects, it's really showing me where I can make improvements to my position on the bike.

Tip for those angled supports. Hold the 2x4 against the vertical and horizontal section and scribe a line at the bottom and top. No measuring needed. :)

Thank you!

@@AprilRideMTB Cut a 45 on one end of the 2x4, place in on the horizontal 2x4 and the other end will be 45 on the vertical. That's probably the best way so you can get that support exactly where you want it and both sides will be the same.
