hej there. nice video and concept. i have one question regarding size. it seems to me that is sth around 30x10. but the interior part where you insert the wheel i cant figure it out. can you pls inform or confirm each measure for this project including the hole? tia!
Hi DAVE, I follow the Morgan’s, like crafty ideas, from New England, retired metal worker, want to try wood, my dad was talented in wood, hand tools, like wise I share garage with stuff, need organization. I will check in for crafty hints, thanks 😊
Hey Dave, wondering about the wheels getting distorted by hanging up like that or getting damaged by accident? Hang them by the frames would be better me thinks? Thanks for sharing with us.
They are hanging in a corner of the garage that doesn't really get any traffic, but I think that you have a good point and I may make some modification to it just to make sure that they don't get damaged.
Highly unlikely that this would be a problem. Think about the load that's on the wheel when someone is riding it. I would worry a little about bending a spoke or a spoke nipple if it's hung so that the spoke is torqued over the rod. Solution to that problem is to mount each rack to the wall at a height that keeps the back wheel for that particular bike on the ground.
Hi, what is the max weight u have hung on this? I have 120lbs bike n it bent a 150lbs hook. I think the hook is too long. So i wanted to try something else. Also, the tires were leaving prints on the wall. I like how the tire sits on the wood.
The heaviest bike I have hung is around 35 pounds. The hook could definitely hold a lot more because it is hardwood and is anchored into the cinderblock wall. At 120lbs I would be worried about damaging the wheels or spokes because that it a lot of weight to hold up.
Hum? I've been hanging my bikes from 2 hooks in the ceiling for 20+ years. Of course, those are hanging vertically and from both wheels and they're fine. The really hard part of this project; getting the kids to actually put the bikes away when done using them. If you've got an answer to that, Golden.
If hanging weight is your concern you may adjust the height so the rear wheel is on the ground and the hook/rack is just stabilizing the vertical position...
I hated to do it, but I had to thumbs down the video, Dave. The dowel holding the bike in place is a really cumbersome design when you're trying to hoist up a 30+ lb mountain bike. Not only that, but that dowel is gonna raise hell with your spokes. I certainly wouldn't use this design. The negative out of the way, as always, your video is quite thoughtful and well done, and we appreciate the way you explain stuff, like why to not use the battery-powered drill. So, good video, but - sorry - poor design.
I too am an Outdoors with the Morgan's junkie. Glad to see them promoting others. Good luck and hold on tight!!
Easy and simple method thanks for posting it
Thanks for watching!
@@DIYwithDave Thank you !! I just finished making 2 and they came out proper , I’m chuffed lol
Nice and compact
Great idea!

I'm not sure... It feals like the wheels get much shear with this setup. The rims might get crooked over time.
That's a good thought. I will have to consider how I can adjust it to make sure that the wheels are not subject to excessive strain.
