  • Schwinn bike rack pimped up from 20 lbs capacity to 150 lbs capacity. I also added a bigger wooden base so I can easily mount more stuffs on it.

    My man has a bike with a jerry-rigged rack and he's pulling twice as much a$$ as I am. I have a new Camaro and still have to buy my chick a new coach bag to get some. Well done my little friend, well done.

    Can I put a rear seat on that rack? And can it support 150lbs?

    is it a possibility to use thin pvc pipe instead of aluminum bars, don't got any spare hunks of metal lying around

      It's possible. But it won't support a heavy load and it won't last long.

      ill search for other options then, but thanks for the reply! I want to create a more stable rack, but I don't have any metal bars to use...

      You could sleeve the inside of the pvc with metal pipe or fill it with resin or concrete for extra rigidity.

    i have that similar rack...what kind of bags work??

    • @vuaeco

      I usually use a big tool bag that's like a duffel bag. I guess duffel bags work, too. Just throw the bag on the wood piece and tie it up with a bungee cord and I'm good to go.

    did you ever consider mounting a plastic milk crate instead of the wood

    • @vuaeco
      @vuaeco  7 лет назад +2

      I thought about that. But the milk crate is big and bulky. I don't always carry things with me so it will be better without the milk crate when I don't need it. Plus, the milk crate makes the bike wider and it will be hard to squeeze into small places especially I don't have a lot of room to park this bike. When I need to carry something, I just put it in a big tool bag, zip it up, and tie it up with my bungee cords and I'm good to go.
