Jeremy Irons killing it with these cycling vids

A bit of that leftover chain wax on both sides of the sliding BB board would help movement. Nice stand! Love the use of old school hand tools, lost art!

Your guides are amazing. Some of the best on KZread! Cheers from Japan, the land of Shimano

Love your vid. Nice bike stand. Had to give a thumbs up, very well explained. I bought a bike repair stand for $60 on eBay 3 years ago. But just checked now and the cheapest is over $100. It's well worth making your own. Many of us have half of the parts lying in the garage somewhere to make your stand for free. Thanks again mate.

Oz, you are pretty good. When I started my private pro shop in 2009 I actually purchased a bike stand like yours. I would have rather followed your instructions and made one like yours which is far better than any other similar front clamp axle stand on the market today 2021. Sincerely Dan Sotelo

This is the first sensible DIY stand I have seen. Thanks!

Ingenious, thanks for the super details and making it a project that seems very do able. Say goodbye to my the awkward seatpost clamp style Stand. Thanks for the inspiration!

Clear, concise, informative, nice ambient noises and brilliantly inventive. I will be taking a stab at emulating your fine workmanship in the near future! Many thanks and keep 'em coming.....

Great!!! This is exactly what I was looking for. Yep, this is a fina working tool for any type of bike maintenance. I like the rubber bumber to protect the bike. Oz, you are an excellent contributor to the cycling communities around the world. Cheers!

G'day Oz Cycle. Mate, that is an impressive, simple, durable and adaptable bike stand I love it! I'm going to make 2 of them. One for myself and the other for my adult son. You are a champion to create a design such as this one and share with others. Ingenious. Trust an Aussie to invent something that anyone can put together. Furthermore, your explanation, tips, measurements and other data are very informative. A most appealing video. Thankyou for providing this demonstration. Also I am looking forward to viewing all your other videos on this channel. Cheers from Keiran in Knoxfield Melbourne.

Excellent craftsmanship !

Just another great video - thank you for taking the time to share this with us all. I have a Lidl bike stand, well two in fact: one outside for hosing off the mtb and one in my workshop for repairs and maintenance in the dry and warm. However I'm making one of these just because you make the project look so interesting and rewarding. Thanks again.

Great stuff !! Stumbled upon your page. Love what you do and recommend......

Oh I'm building that. Thank you for doing all the hard work!

What a unique approach to a bike repair stand! I just made a pair of 3-legged sawhorses and was able to quickly and simply modify one to make it work just like your design! Now I have a dual-function sawhorse and didn't have to make anything special for the bike. Thank you for the idea!

You don't need to add anything because everything is there, Thanks to share this useful video of a great practical stand to repair the bikes !!...

thats the best use for a phillips screw driver i've seen in a long time

Excellent clear instructions. Great vid.

Very good job and thorough explanation. We don't have sawhorses with similar folding metal legs in these parts. I'm in the process of conjuring up a DIY workstand with a speaker stand tripod and a salvaged Thule car top rack bike tray. I will keep the alternative of the adjustable board system you came up with if the Thule rack doesn't pan out.

i've seen about thirty different DIY stands. This is the one.

Excellent great video, always with the good diy hacks!!!

All the rest of your shop is neat and clean please add some loving care to your rusty vice and the paddle bit this is a nice project.

Excellent Job my Amigo...

I just like that your stand is different than all the others.

I made a riser stand for my bike trainer stand for road and fat tyres recently from scrap building pine. Works great wish i'd done a video of it now.

Your awesome! Keep these great ideas coming! Thank you.

Great idea Sturdy simple to use.......never seen these Sawhorses here in the UK

A suggestion for making it height adjustable: extendable legs using a metal tube over the existing legs with pins that fit into numbered holes drilled into the legs and extenstion. To adjust height, slide the outer legs to the required height and slide in the pins; if the holes are numbered then the height can be calibrated to whatever the reason you want to adjust the height for. Hope this helps improve this DIY project or post a video with some of the suggested improvements that you tried out.

Best bike stand i have seen.

a really smart design ! thanks.

SOLD! Need a bottom mount stand for motorized bike work and this Sir has the stability I desire.

Another gem from the master, even the Kookaburras approve

Great video, great explanation, great design, great work, great shoes :) Greetings from Chile

This is great. Awesome video. Thank you

I have an e mtn bike that will not fit on normal bike stands (I have a Park), and would be really hard to hang anyway because of it's weight. This is an outstanding solution.

Worked out Really Well If you hit Bunnings, they sell the saw horses singly (~$18 AUD). About $30 AUD all up for a great little, very solid stand!

Amazing job! I wish I can do that myself for my bike

Thanks for the Video - re-arranged one of my saw horse's to double as a stand - 2 changes I did - as I only have road bikes around that same dimension with quick release my axle just goes through the wood with a bearing nut each end. I dont have the adjustable length bit on the end. Also at the front I have a hook with a bucket of water (that I use for washing the bike) this stabilizes the rig with weight at the front.

Love your work

simply impressive! just the kind of vid you wish to have on youtube...il subscribe to your channel mate!

Great job, I like woods, I’ll make some 😍

Excellent details and steps to clarify your projects, Thanks

Good job my friend 😉

Brilliant! Now only if we could get that kind of saw horse here in the US, I saw similar but not same. Thanks for the idea.

You sir are an inspiration!

I like the blue.. 👍🏼

Felicitaciones. Excelente idea. Muchas gracias.

Outstanding Channel... So much great information... up and running with wax and PTFE chain lube ;-)

Well done!!!

This design is great, but I would definitely add on a counterweight to the front to balance the stand out more when the bike is attached.

brilliant, gonna make one this weekend

Great video.

I know I'm late to the party, but great video. Just subscribed to your channel the other day. Thanks

Quite a nice set up.

this is brilliant !! lets go further add on with a truing gauge, and its a complete all-in-one workstand !

Brillant!!!

great lockdown project!

Excellent design.

Had made something very similar but instead of replacing the saw horse timber I clamp it to the horse when needed and pack with some 90mm square offcuts. Not as portable or quick to setup, but I can use the horse as normal and I don't have to bend as much when working on the bike.

Im new to triathlon , im choosing handlebars for my bike. Bullhorn + restbar vs cheap aerobar ?

Awesome.

thank you...

Que excelente idea. Que lo voy a hacer. Apenas para mecaniquearle a la mia...

good video thanks

Great advice, thnxs! Since you requested just one addition: instead of making and drilling through the support block to make the front axle holes you could also screw a shorter block onto the original stand and drill into that block, thus heightening the front axle mounting point. That way the bike will be more level when secured.

@dayjn

Good idea. A sliding front block could move back and forth for different size bikes making redundant a sliding block at the back and one of the thru holes for the front. I'd also make the legs out of wood like an old fashioned non-folding saw horse (I already have a few of those) and waterproof everything so it could be used for bike washing and kept outdoors near the hose.

Good video. I'm going to replace my Aldi bike stand with one based on my current saw stools. Just one thing though. At around 7:39 you give the size of the spade bit as 3/4" or 29mm. 3/4" is 19mm. A typo has crept in. Cheers, b.

+biggles1024 You are correct,3/4 is 19mm. Oops...sorry. Il mention that in a vlog coming up. Thanx biggles.

That looks nice, could you mount the bike backwards as to use the qr clamps to hold the rear and in this way make it possible to work on the fork? That way it would be possible to adjust the brake caliper and/or service the steerer.

Ah damn, if I didn't live in an apartment. I used to have most of this stuff.

This is an excellent project, although I think the stand is a bit low such that you’d need to bend down to work on your bike. Maybe if its mounted on a higher stand it would be easier on the back. Just my 2 cents.
