A little late here but got around to building one today. You directions are the best Kyle, thank you. I used the bolt an wingnut option to hold the tire in place and didn't drill the holes close enough to the tire to hold it in pace. To fix this I added a bunch of electrical tape wraps around the bolt to take up the slack an it worked fine. Didn't read all the comments so not sure if anyone else did the same but wanted to pass what I did on. Thanks again, your videos are also the best! Edited the next day - this device can also be used to learn to stand on the rear wheel and find that balance point, for rear wheel hopping and also the balance point for endo's simply by putting the front wheel between the wheel support instead of the rear. Now it was really worth the time constructing it.

Built it! The hardware store didn't have timber in the the right dimensions, so I winged it. I used 40x200mm as the base, which is very stable on its own, even without the sideways "training wheel" board, so I shortened that to 400mm. I attached a couple of old, cut-open inner tube parts to the bottom so it does not shift on my floor. Works great and is very stable. Manuals are still not working great, but I'll be getting there ;)

I built my manual trainer off of your first video. One thing I found was to make sure the diagonal wheel supports clear the rear derailleur when the chain is off. The derailleur shifts back a bit when there is no chain on it. I made mine asymmetric with a smaller drive side wheel brace, and larger brake side brace to accommodate this after finding the issue. I love the copper and stained finish. Nice extra touch.

I just finished building your manual trainer this morning and I found that the 24" 2x4's were shorter than I would like although they are functional as is. The 20" rear stabilizer is a tad narrow for a 230lb rider such as myself as I have tipped it over a few times. I will buy another board and make it 36" just to be safe. Other than that It works just as you demonstrated and is an easy cost effective solution to prevent landing flat on my back with a bike on top of me.

I built it. A couple of things I like. First it's shorter than most which helps on garage space. Second, because the stabilizer is fairly short it tends to tip if you lean too far to the side. In my mind that's a good thing. I'd rather tip the trainer then bend the rim (if that's even possible).

I would have done a few things differently for added strength. First, I would have used carpenter's glue on all the mating surfaces. Second, I would have partially pre-drilled the holes, used glue, and then put in the screws (this helps create a stronger bond and helps to reduce the chances of future wood fragmentation due to torsional stresses resulting from the operation of the trainer). These measures just serve to add an extra level of firmness and help extend the longevity of the build.

I watched this video a couple of weeks ago and something about didn't add up... Finally it clicked. The way the manual machine is built, you have the rear wheel 1.5 inches off the floor because that's the thickness of the 2x6 board, and the front wheel is on the floor. That means to initiate the manual, there's already more weight on the front wheel which makes it more difficult. I've seen other women struggle to initiate a manual because the stand has been built the same way. One solution would be to make the bottom board long enough for the wheelbase of the bike. (Then it would be a $35 cost... 😄) Another solution would be to use a front wheel stand from a trainer. Starting with the front wheel already elevated above level of the rear wheel should help speed up the learning curve. My daughter is a fan of your training videos thanks.

Thanks for the compliments! Kyle seems to know where everything is, but I seem to always be lost! I don't spend enough time in there haha

Great video and just what I was looking for. Planning to build one and finally improve my 3 foot manuals at age 52. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Video idea: you could show how April's progressed in all the tricks you did tutorials on, like bunny hop, wheelie and so on. Also your tutorials helped me alot. Thanks:)

Glad to hear! To be honest I need to practice the skills more and have practiced wheelies the most, but am struggling a lot with them!

Just fan mail -- Thanks for all the great videos! I have been mountain biking since I was a teenager, but I learn a ton from every video. Keep up the good work!
