How I Built a Cargo Bike for under $100. Cargo Fork Build
Рет қаралды 628,487
5 жыл бұрынHEY! I'm Johnny. ✌👽✌
I built a bike fork that helps me increases what I can carry on my old school mountain bike! The metal I bought from metal supermarkets and it cost $30. The forks were just junk forks from the local bike shop. The 20" front tire I bought on amazon but you could probably grab one from a junky kids bike for free.
I make videos when I can. Please please help me out and subscribe :)

In my opinion, this is real cycling, you can spend as much money as you want but you cant buy the fun and satisfaction that solving a problem by creating something unique brings. Bravo, you're a role model to all of us!

We recently saw this bike at Kickstand while I was volunteering there! I had the exact thought to sit on the front cargo rack HAHA! Glad to see the creator intended it 😂

Man, that’s awesome, I loved the entire thing! Years ago, my dad did a custom splatter paint job on my sister’s bike and I’ve always loved that look. Great design and incredible quality video! Just subscribed!

Good set up!, good technique, good job! It is so easy to criticize after you've done the work,,, and I can't tell you how many times I've heard (after it's done) "what's so special.....how else could you have done it?" I've been a fabricator for 50+ years and I know taking the original idea to completion is often a task of a whole lotta' thought. Good Job!😀👍

Good ideas. Center frame tube is higher than wide. Makes sense. After watching many of similar videos I've been thinking that the side frame tubes could probably be left out if the diamond plate sides would be turned to form similar structure. So only center frame would go through.
@frauleinjosefine6000 4 жыл бұрын
That's a super inspiring video and makes the build look super easy to follow. I wish you could have shown how exactly you installed the front brakes a little more detailed since that step was roughly shown. I know how to install brakes generally but in this case it's part of the customize job, so it seemed a little unclear to me 🙃

@alansuptdg 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Johnny, I'm no bike geo expert but at 0:34, you can retain a similar wheel base if you put the new front wheel maybe an inch or two back. It would result to you adjusting your cuts though from something perpendicular to an angle because you used a square tube. You will be able to play around with rake with a round tube, I suppose. Anyway, that was just a brain fart. I'm a new subscriber and now a fan of your work. Thanks for the inspiration!

I like the idea but I can see some of those welds giving out over time and repeated bumps and impacts of the front tire. I think it could be easily reinforced with some strips of steel welded over the cross bar and up and down the forks on the front and back though.
@johnnywikk6472 4 жыл бұрын
Hi! thanks for your input. I was thinking the same thing but I have just been testing it out for a few and its working good so far. Those strips would def give me some peace of mind though 🙏

I'd think that fat tire would be a good "shock absorber" for that. If it were a thin high pressure tire then yea I could see it as an issue.

Instead of extending the forks you could have used bmx or kids bike fork, extended the head tube and steerer and then mount a rack on the head tube & down tube for much better stability. Yes, I am aware that the drop in cargo fork for 20 inch wheels is in vogue!
