Thanks Al! I hope to redo this video in the future, making it a little bit more informative, plus improving on the stand itself. That was one of my first videos , so my narration skills could have been better. Thanks for watching!
Glad that you liked, Renaud! I will be making another video featuring this stand in the near future with some improvements and variations. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching Jean Paul! Glad it helped. I will be making an update to this video soon. I made that video 3 or so years ago when I first started this channel. The new one will be much more interesting and informative. Subscribe to stay in the loop!
Thanks for watching Joey. I hope to do an updated one in the near future. That was one of the first videos I ever made on this channel so it was a little rough, LOL.
Thanks for watching Guavaball! That was one of my earliest videos. I have all of the stuff lined up to make a couple more of those stands, and hopefully, a hundred videos later, not to be so long winded as I was in that one. 😂
Thanks Joseph! I'll check real quick and let you know. That's a pretty old video. I'm going to be making a newer more simplified version of that video soon.
Thanks for watching Chris! I hope that yours worked out well for you. Please share if it did. I have been working on a newer version of this video, but haven't gotten it out yet, so please subscribe and be in the loop for future mods to this design! I found that different bikes have different needs for this type of stand, so there will be more vids on this coming out in the future.
Cool cheap stand! I'm wondering about modifying it with a piece of 2" pvc cut in half (lengthwise) to sit under the bottom bracket, also lengthening the vertical pipe. I know it won't be as sturdy (bike swaying side to side), but I'd be looking to get the rear wheel off the ground and be able to spin the cranks. Wonder if there's a better way by supporting under the chainstays? Guess that may get very bike specific though.
Thanks for watching Wesley. That was a really old video and my experience with video making was lacking. Since that video seems to do pretty well despite all that, I do plan to make an upgraded version with the cut list and a more streamlined process showing how to assemble. When I watch that video I just shake my head from my choice of music, the poor audio, and my inability to explain things well. Not saying I'm an expert at it now, but I came a long way in the past three years.
@@themostlymikeshow Thanks for the video. I made this for a local bike show I was going to. The stand worked well for my situation. It works best on flat surfaces and with not much wind. I used another suggestion of not cutting the stand all the way to the end and left a tab to assist in connecting. For the bike I used this on, I used 1 1/2 inch pipe and made the legs a little longer to increase the stability. My only issue has been that I painted it black with primer paint and it seems to scratch easily. Thanks again. My list would be 1/2 stick of 1 1/2 to 2-inch PVC. 4 Collars and 3 Ts. Cut the pipe into 5-inch sections x6 and one section that goes from the stand to about 1/2 inch under the bottom bracket. Cut a 1-inch section down the length of the verticle tube that leads from the stand to the bottom bracket leaving 3/4 inch at the bottom to connect it to the T.
Thanks for the update Wesley. Glad it worked out for you. I experimented with 1- 1/4" pvc, and it actually seems to hold my bike better. I agree that the base should be wider stance to make it more stable.
Thanks for watching. I thought I left the approximate measurements in the video but that was over 3 years ago since I made it. I am going to reproduce this video soon, and it should be better audio and clear instructions compared to this one. If I were to guess, all of the components were somewhere in the neighborhood of six or seven inches. I hope this helps.
They are pretty stable, depending on the amount of play in the slot, and the size of the crank arm in relation to the pipe inside diameter. These can be made with different diameters of pipe to suit the dimensions of the pedal axle as well as the crank thickness. That video is one of the first ones that I had ever made, and I thought about making a new updated one in higher quality and more streamlined in the near future.
I modified the 7 inch vertical piece. Rather than slicing through the entire length (making the one inch slot), I left a 3/4 inch collar to make a much better/secure joint. Otherwise great idea!
Thanks for watching and commenting Zygmunt. I plan on making a shorter version of this video soon. That was one of my oldest videos, so I think that there's a lot of room for improvement. Take care.
Good point! I don't have any bikes with carbon crank arms, but I guess that you definitely don't want to scratch them. There might be some way to line the inside of it to protect it from damaging it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Chris! I will be making another video on this stand in the not too distant future. That was one of the original videos from when I first started this channel, so I think that I can make some overall improvements.

One of the best bike stand videos on RUclips
Thanks Anthony! I am hoping in the near future to do an updated version of that video. I appreciate you watching and the kind words.
@@themostlymikeshow your welcome and thanks for such clear instructions.
No problem!
Awesome job Mike

Great! 👍
Thanks for watching!
Well donne!
Great to save Space when you live in a small flat👍
Glad that you liked, Renaud! I will be making another video featuring this stand in the near future with some improvements and variations. Thanks for watching!
@@themostlymikeshow ok i ll watch it with pleasure. I sold that kind of stuff at my shop (tools and equipment)😂
Great and impressive awesome stay connected thanks
Thank you! I appreciate the support! If you have any suggestions for future videos, please let me know!
The Mostly Mike sHOW welcome sir stay connected thanks
You have give me a good idea connecting various of these stands together. Brilliant solution!!

@@themostlymikeshow great job
Thank you so much
This is simple, clever, and (best of all) cheap! Pretty slick, Mike!
Thanks Jason! That was one of my first videos. I thought about making an updated one that is a little more streamlined and with better narration.
Thanks for this video. If a person were to use this design to make a kayak dolly, what kind of lightweight wheels would you suggest?
Hmmm. Good question! They do make wheels for portaging kayaks, but I don't kayak, so not sure which is more cost effective.
thanks for the assist. Did it for another project that needed a stand but it works great
Thanks for watching Guavaball! That was one of my earliest videos. I have all of the stuff lined up to make a couple more of those stands, and hopefully, a hundred videos later, not to be so long winded as I was in that one. 😂
Could you use schedule 80 for my rigidity?
I don't see why not. It might be a little harder to cut, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Did you build one?
I'm digging the music
Who is it .
Thanks Joseph! I'll check real quick and let you know. That's a pretty old video. I'm going to be making a newer more simplified version of that video soon.
It's called "Bumper Tag" here's the link:

Thanks for the tips Mike! I just built 2 of my own!

Great idea! 4 of my bikes are stored horizontally. This might work better than hanging then hanging by their saddle.
You can also turn the slotted piece 90 degrees. I have made them both ways, and they seem to work well. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Yes, with this "H" Frame base, just about anything can be done with the upright piece to suit any bike specific needs.
It would be helpful if you listed a materials and cuts list.

Does it tend to fall over? Or is it stable

Is looks very dangerous to use if you have a carbon crank arm
Good point! I don't have any bikes with carbon crank arms, but I guess that you definitely don't want to scratch them. There might be some way to line the inside of it to protect it from damaging it. Thanks for watching!
I don't see how it would damage carbon crank arms. It's PVC not metal. Good idea!
Thanks Chris! I will be making another video on this stand in the not too distant future. That was one of the original videos from when I first started this channel, so I think that I can make some overall improvements.
@@themostlymikeshow I suppose you could install a piece of pipe insulation in it to protect the crank arms, but again, it's just PVC.
I mean that's cool but it's not really a serviceable bike stand if you can't rotate the crank
Thanks for watching. I didn't make this to be used for servicing bikes as much as to hold them up when you park them in the garage or wherever.
