Confidence, I have the same issue that’s why I’m building one, I don’t know why I can wheelie with no fear but manual I just freak out

Built my manual trainer this past week. Thank you so much for the explanation, materials, and cut list. I will say that I have a lot of work to do to get comfortable in the manual position. Thanks!

I like how you explain things in the most simple and direct way. I guess I can say your methods are just for this era. Thanks for the vids. Can't wait to see April do the manual 😁❤👏

Nice job. I”ll be doing this before spring. Kyle, I sure hope you are doing okay and feeling better. Please do not rush your recovery, hang in there and know that your people are keeping you in their prayers and wishing you well.

Last thing I need is another project, but I’m absolutely building one of these. Thanks for the plans, you and April rock!

Your videos are so well done and helpful. Thanks for sharing with all of us. I built the manual trainer in under an hour and glued all the joints. I m very happy...

I built one yesterday with your measurements. I've just done some wheelies today. It's amazing. Thanks.

Hey there. Just wanted to say THANKYOU for this inspiration. Just built this manual trainer yesterday to keep progressing in winter time. Keep those videos coming. Merry Christmas all the way from Germany ;-)

Thanks Kyle and April! This is another one of your videos I've shared with our MTB youth club trainers. Good job!

You nailed it to the wall with this video. I was on the fence about building one but given my lame attempts at getting to the balance point I know this will help. I also ride a unicycle and I remember learning by spending time in the balance pocket was key. Thanks for clearly listing the items needed for this. Finally , the compact nature of this design is what is pushing me over the edge to build one- can’t wait.

Thank you mate, today my friends and me built this manual trainer, first impressions are great.

Great tutorial. Thank you. I was able to build one with the scraps I had in just over a couple of hours. Works great too. I still haven't mastered the manual, but that's more an issue of the trainee vs the trainer. Thanks again.

Great vid! I recently built one of these and didn't feel like it was helping me at all... until I went out on the trails. It really does build that muscle memory. It's also an amazing bike washing stand. You just have to rotate the wheels to get them all clean. Great content, keep it up!

This is great! I WILL be building one of these sometime in the next couple of weeks. I'll be using mine outside, so I will probably put (removable) spikes on the bottom to keep it in place on the ground.

Just subscribed!! Been watching your guys videos for a few months now and didn’t even realize I wasn’t sub, I am a veteran with PTSD but have found biking to be a great help in my recovery I just wanted to say that my family and I love your guys videos and I really want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart it’s because of you guys that my wife and son have started mountain biking with me your guys instruction videos are great and have helped and given us lots of confidence. Unfortunately we have hardtails but hopefully one day we can afford to get into full suspension, I’m sure they will build our confidence even more. If I might ask what model bikes do you guys have? they look great!! Keep the videos coming you guys are awesome!

Super neat job Kyle. And you even tidied it up to make it look good! - Looking forward to the next video on how to get the most out of it. Also, impressed with how tidy your garage/shop was - no clutter & everything on shelves in storage boxes. But, I bet you forget where things are, with no labelling on the outside!

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.

Great clean and precise build! I built a manual trainer a ways back, but found it took up too much space to be practical. I love this compact version! I added a small piece of 2x6 on the upright, on the back side, so that when not in use it stands on it's end like a tripod. Great video and looking forward to the next. I never knew you should try it with the chain off.
