[@weegaz22]

Seth, on your 2x8 comment for wheeling bikes up the stairs, one way to avoid your daughter playing with it is to have it hinged off the banister rail, that way you can have it in an upright locked position when not needed, and then when you need to use it unlock it and flap it down onto the stairs, you can even make it look like a facing board for the banister.

[@asciiguy283]

This is brilliant.

[@hahahax-sz2yg]

Aye

[@KDubber]

I was thinking just putting a gate at the bottom of the stairs. This way they are completely closed off to the kids when he's not up there. I'd also be wanting something around the firepole at the top to prevent any kid from falling through accidently.

Your videos helped get me into engineering. I watched you and Alex convert his van. I started watching your guys videos and that got me into mountain biking. Eventually my bike broke, so I watched your videos and park tool to fix it myself. This lead to me taking apart my bike and putting it back together and then I decided I wanted to design things and be an engineer. I’m now at Purdue Engineering which is one of the best engineering schools in the country, and I love it here. So indirectly your videos changed the course of my life.

I 100% agree with giving old stuff new life. I recently got a 20ish year old Marin that I've been using to get around town because my ebike is in need of repairs I currently don't have the money or tools to do myself. It's been an adjustment going back to no pedal assist but I have been amazed at how well it's held up after a basic tune up

[@jmackinjersey1]

I definitely appreciate the storage and tidying up the place. Lord knows my shed needs all of that.

[@JayDubster]

Fantastic idea Seth, that's a HUGE space to utilise, and who wouldn't love a firepole to play on :) Maybe worth making the door at top of stairs taller so you don't have to duck every time?

[@mtrx9816]

Maybe it'd look weird from the outside, having this tall door real close to the roof? Idk it would for sure be more comfortable than ducking but I guess that could be an issue.

[@SethsBikeHacks]

There’s always another optimization! So far on about 40 trips in and out I hit my head 2 times, so by the end of the year it should cost me 12 to 14 head impacts, or whatever it would take to make the opening bigger. There is a light and a fair bit of framing above the door and so it might not be possible to improve it much. Luckily I can just climb the firepole with plenty of headroom.

[@ShamusConeysFilms]

Great vid dude! Perhaps hinges on the doors atop the fire pole?

[@anyalpine]

@@SethsBikeHacks The framing above the door is the header for the door opening and could be moved up higher. You would just need to relocate the electrical, which you already seem comfortable doing.

Nice!!! I'm on board with re*cycling*... I've built myself a nice 2008 Focus cyclocross and got pretty much everything used but in really nice condition. The only really new parts were tires, rims and spokes... consumables like cables, brake pads adn topped it off with new handlebars and saddle. The bike feels solid and new and it's satisfying to know I used stuff that was probably just not the right fit for the previous owner but not worth throwing away!! Save a tree, ride your bike... save lot's of trees, fix your bike!!

I feel like the next step for organization is some sort of inventory system. 2 cheap barcode scanners (1 upstairs, 1 downstairs) running to a computer with some sort of inventory control database on it. Slap a barcode on every part that they'll fit on and all the bins, racks,etc and scan everything in & out. Will make keeping track of content bike stuff easier and will help keep track of when to buy more consumable parts for project/fix-it bikes too
