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!

Jeremy Irons killing it with these cycling vids

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

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

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

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.....

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

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

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.

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.

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!

Great job, no BS, very refreshing to see such valuable content. Keep it up

Excellent craftsmanship !

Thanks So Much! Great project, off to Bunnings this afternoon!

Australians are the most logical people. I am 63 years old, and you work like my father's generation. They could do magic with only basic hand tools and thought//// THank you

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 !!...

Excellent clear instructions. Great vid.

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!

Good job my friend 😉

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

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

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.

Aw this is a great bike vid, every last detail told to understand easily, cheers mate .

It is so much fun to see you D.I.Y'ing. I like the blue color of your bikestand it looks so professional, just like Park Tools.

Very thoughtful video. Cheers, mate.

Great DIY advice. Thanks heaps.

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

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.

Wow this is fantastic, thanks for sharing

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

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

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

Excellent Job my Amigo...

OMG! Apart from hearing them on tv is first time heard that sound of birds.....sounds like they're laughing..lol! (UK) Much appreciated for video!

Excellent details and steps to clarify your projects, Thanks

Great Idea and job!! Thanks

Looks great mate. Thanks for posting.

excellent man very simple job to do... very simple bike stand !!!

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

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.

This is great. Awesome video. Thank you

Great video!

Great video. Thank you very much.

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

Very clever!... Good job! 👍

Felicitaciones. Excelente idea. Muchas gracias.

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.

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

Nice work. Looks sweet

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

Love your videos.👍

Best bike stand i have seen.

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!

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.

Another gem from the master, even the Kookaburras approve

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

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.

Love your work

You sir are an inspiration!

a really smart design ! thanks.

Lovely idea looks good to me might give it try considering the price of some of these Bicycle stands thank you. Australia

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.

brilliant, gonna make one this weekend

Awesome....Ambassador for Road Bike

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

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

Very Nice, Thanks!

Well done!!!

Great video.

Quite a nice set up.

I bought a CXWXC bike repair stand ,it cheaper and worked really well.

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

I like the blue.. 👍🏼

great lockdown project!

Excellent design.

great 👍🏻

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.

Brillant!!!

Awesome!!!!!!!

Nice! 😄 Thanks.

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

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

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.

Hi, Just found your site recently, I enjoy and find helpful your videos. can you explain please how to find the best crank length. thanks.

thank you...

Very nice! Do you have a build plan that holds a 70lb Ebike with 26"X 4" fat tires?

good video thanks

Where can you find the quick release skewers and axle needed? What are the dimensions needed to get one that fits my front wheel (for cartridge bearings)?

Awesome.

Very nice

Does it tip over due to all the weight hanging off behind the rear legs??,or when u use a spanner/ratchet to undo any bolts?

amazing

good show lad...i mean the coocaboorah...

loved it. But height adjustment to mitigate back bending. Hmmmmmmm.... Maybe a stool?

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.

Question: how do you come up with these tools ideas? They're great! But honestly, how do you know which size of bolt, PVC fitting, etc.??

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.

could you put a description of all the pieces needed so I can get to bunnings and get all in one trip! thanks!
