[@jancoetzer9941]

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!

thank you mate, your video are the Perfect asnwer for my problem

[@PhillWyattProjects]

No problem 👍

[@qbarnes1893]

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...

[@christanner8104]

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.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

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.

[@alanwilkinson9487]

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........

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks for the advice. I don't own a bike with 29" wheels so not sure how it works on wheels of this size.

[@michaelsalerno5166]

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?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

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.

[@winemadali]

Nice nice master!

[@PhillWyattProjects]

[@facelessvlogger5065]

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? 👊🏼

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks mate 👍 sure I will check out your video no problem.

[@Tim955w]

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.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

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.

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

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Hi it's pretty much a snug fit. Maybe 1mm either side to spare.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Its slightly off the ground.

[@Billy-cs4cc]

Thanks for using inches and. Not millimeters

[@imaginewagons3777]

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?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

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.

[@imaginewagons3777]
