@polynikes158منذ 4 سنوات My man! I built this exact set-up yesterday with around $40 bucks and 40 minutes. Literally within 20 minutes of using the trainer, I can now finally manual. I really appreciate you sharing this with us. 34

@shanehaslett1535منذ 4 سنوات Love this dude! So helpful and positive person. So pleasant to watch and learn and the kicker for me is your videos are so informative to help my son and id="hidden3" class="buttons"> their clean videos, no negativity and four letter words! Thanks for all you do kid! ....وسعت 80

@johnmallow2879منذ 4 سنوات For the diagonal cuts, if you scribe your pencil line on the inside of the piece of wood you offer up, you will get it perfect each time, as long as you hold still and draw both lines without moving the wood. 31

@garzezمنذ 4 سنوات Quick tip. Wrap the bungee cord around the tire to avoid damaging the spokes 120

@markusb.7298منذ 4 سنوات Best construction I've seen so far! So easy and yet so substantial! Just built it some days ago. Here in Europe it's about 40€ incl. tax for all the wood, screws and stuff.
The 2x4 was almost not enough, I would recommend a bit more than 8 ft.
However for someone starting to practice manuals that trainer is just terrific! As the rear wheel is locked you can play a lot with your rear brake to find your balancing point. Just pull up and hit the brake. This will hold you mid air and you can work on your body position (legs, hips, head, etc.). By releasing the break you can then improve your balancing skills. Works really great for me! Thank you very much for this amazing work, Kyle!!! ....وسعت 3

@ssteves108منذ 4 سنوات omfg that’s the best couple hours i’ve ever spent!

@joepham8401منذ 4 سنوات Kyle, I love your training videos. You and April have great chemistry on screen. Your instructions are clear, succinct, and broken down to very doable id="hidden7" class="buttons"> steps to learn and build upon. Your language has kept it family-friendly. My kids and I watch to get pointers and improve our riding. Love the manual trainer. Keep up the good work and we will be sure to tell all our friends about your channel. Thanks Kyle and April!! ....وسعت 2

@KyleAprilRideMTBمنذ 4 سنوات Materials listed below⬇️
Digital plans thanks to Corey - <br />hope you guys are doing ok out there! I made this little video in hopes of it maybe being a fun family project for some of you guys this weekend, This is a really affordable way to build a manual trainer for everyone stuck at home. It’s actually pretty fun and gave me some stress relief for sure haha. •
•
All you really need are
2x - (2x6) x 8ft length
1x - (2x4) x 8ft length
1x - Threaded Hook for the front wheel. 250lb weight rating
1x Bungee cord or Strap
1x Saw
1x pen or pencil
1x Safety glasses
Roughly 30x 3 inch screws
Credit - Markus B.
The measures in metric system are:
2x4 8 ft = 5cm x 10cm x 250cm
2x6 8 ft = 5cm x 10cm x 250cm
Make sure your logs and planks are straight lengthways and widthways. Otherwise you will fall into despair during assembly.

@pirochu666منذ 4 سنوات Thank you, Kyle, for this manual-machine plan & video! I just built one on Monday (my Memorial Day project). Out of numerous manual-machine plans & id="hidden9" class="buttons"> videos out there, yours was the most "practical/realistic" (not too fancy/complex or too rough/poorly) - just right for me as an average builder/rider. The material cost was spot on ($25+tax at Home Depot), too. It took me a bit longer (a couple of hours), only because I was measuring/marking all the pre-drilling locations accurately (vs just eye-balling them). This was such a fun project, and thanks again for making/sharing this awesome plan/video, Kyle! And ultimately I'll also be able to manual out there, hopefully, eventually. Cheers! :) ....وسعت 18

@scirxscigal3539منذ 4 سنوات It is a GREAT training/how to video. I appreciate how you demonstrate your EXPERT knowledge base. So many videos are generated by people who are trying id="hidden21" class="buttons"> to think their way through it. You describe how as well as why without hem & haw figuring out what comes next. I have more than 20 years experience in education (middle school, high school, college teacher/instructor) as my 2nd profession after retirement from my first. If you have not thought about it before, you might think about it, you are obviously having fun. ....وسعت 1

@ritcheymtقبل 9 أشهر I'm a 55 year old who is starting to get into mountain-ebiking to rehab my arthritic right knee to hopefully avoid a total knee replacement. (When id="hidden23" class="buttons"> having my knee scoped during meniscus surgery years ago, it was revealed that the inside surface of my right kneecap looks like it's been through a cheese grater.) I've been wanting to start doing squats or at least lunges to strengthen my knees but haven't done it because it's both painful and boring. Then I watched you doing this training at and thought "Okay, this looks fun!" During this training, you're basically balancing by doing squats/lunges. If it'as fun as it looks, the fun might distract me from the pain enough to want to do this every day. Thus, you may have just made knee rehab enough fun for me to actually want to do it! ....وسعت

@slycat67منذ 4 سنوات Great instructions! Took me an hour to build and $25 at HD. I haven’t manualed much and it’s pretty hard on my Niner. I swapped over to my 26” mtn bike and much easier. I’ll work with the trainer for a week or two then go to the local park and practice on the 26” in the grass. Then come back to the trainer on my Niner once i get good at manuals on the 26”.
Thanks again!!! ....وسعت 1

@scottschaub3635منذ 4 سنوات I built one of these for my fat bike (27.5”x4” tires). I ended-up using 2x8’s rather than 2x6’s, and I had to extend the lengths of the 24” 2x4’s by about 1/2” to accommodate the bigger tires. It worked out really well! 1
@

@daveperry2577منذ 4 سنوات Kyle and April, your videos are amazing. I wanted to share an experience with a manual trainer I built before seeing this. My back tire was really wedged id="hidden30" class="buttons"> into place, and I was braking to avoid falling backwards. I think this put a lot of torque on my hub/wheel and it blew up on a ride the next week. I can't be 100% sure my trainer is what caused it but it might be helpful to rely on the cord and not the brake, if falling backwards (or just jump off). ....وسعت

@dreadsanddirt5966منذ 4 سنوات My son and I built one a few months ago. I could already manual a bmx bike with fair success but I could not manual my mtb to save my life. The one observation id="hidden34" class="buttons"> I made was that the trainer made it deceptively easy to get the front wheel high enough to hit the balance point. It takes almost no effort at all to get the front wheel up on the trainer but out on flat ground it takes a whole different level of oomph. Ended up going to a parking lot down the street one night and forcing myself to commit to getting the front wheel higher and the rest was gravy but the trainers are a neat tool for sure. ....وسعت 1

As simple as it gets, at those lines could possibibly have been drawn rather from the inner part of the lumber. That might have sorted the notching angles in one step. ....وسعت

@davoodehajirajمنذ 4 سنوات It’s possible to find this timbers from recycling places or workshops offcuts
