Just don't let the tires get low on air pressure! Big rubber hooks coming out of the wall will essentially do the same thing, but will be hooked on the rim so it won't fall over if the tires deflate over time. Love your vids man! To the point, easy to follow and creative.
Thanks Steve! When the bikes fall off the rack that’s an early warning sign to pump up the tires:) we will see how it goes, may have to make an updated video with a handy little cable tie addition..,
That's a very simple and elegant solution, but it wouldn't work in my narrow garage because it's not wide enough for both my car and the bike if it was sticking out that way. So what I did was I mounted a couple of simple metal shelf brackets and spaced them so that the bike is supported by the front and back parts of the frame. Then I slipped on a piece of a pool noodle over each bracket for protection. By taking the front wheel off, which I do already because I can slide it into the back of my car that way, when I store the bike the handlebar can be turned sideways so that even less of it sticks out, giving me a few more precious inches of space between the wall and my car.
Relying on the friction fit of a pneumatic tire to hold it up? Not a great idea if the tires lose air and/or there's any shaking (we get plenty of mild earthquakes here in SoCal) which would jar the bike from it's place.
I’ve since come across a better notch shape so the bikes are less likely to slip out. Basically like a keyhole shape that was made with a hole saw and the sloping parts leading into about 2/3 of the circle.

Nice 👍 My concern is that with time and usage, the pressure fit may fail. Another option re those heavy duty rubberized metal hooks from HomeDepot, screw them into the 2x4 instead of curing the notch,pre drilling of course, and you’re set. That way the bike will rotate towards the wall and almost “lock” in place with the rubber wall friction.
Valid Concerns Richard, I left a bike in the prototype for 7 days and its wasn't showing any signs of slippage, but time will tell! As far as those hooks, we are coming off a stint using them in the wall for the last 4 years, everyone hated them and I ended up having to get the bikes off. Consequently no-one ever hung up their bikes and it was always a disaster!
@@TheFunnyCarpenter I hear you there - it is my job now to be the “bike taker offer” 😂 Pity that garages don’t have an extra spot to store bikes ... then again I’d probably fill it with junk anyway 😂
I’d like to do a live stream type situation checking out the tools but it would probably be pretty darn boring! Maybe a fake live stream where I just cut out all the dead space:)
@@TheFunnyCarpenter that would be so nice, for real i want to know everything you use and your oppinion on the tools you use and the thibgs you like and dont like about it!!

Great idea!
This is awesome! I look forward to your Friday afternoon videos.
Thanks Chris:)
I’m beyond thrilled I just found your channel!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge💞
Just added this to my garage and it's off the hook! Literally ;) Thank you!
That is great Will, did you fashion some type of lock to secure the bikes a bit better? I haven't yet but think about from time to time!
Love this!
Oh wow was about to do something like this. Perfect. 👍
This is funny I just thinking last week I need to build a bike rack thank you

Very fair point Mitch. I should figure out some type of a latch that offers some security but is still super easy to use.
I put mine in the basement 😎 problem solved and room for a freezer now! 🤪💥
Quick and easy!
I just sold my kid’s bike the other day, saves way more space and is much more cost effective!😂
Well, my kid actually moved out last year so he didn’t need the bike...but I still won’t blame him for pulling the plug😂
One day!
That’s pretty slick!
Thanks Kermit
Well done smarty pants!
$10 in materials... Materials used: 2x4, 1ea...
So glad I have so much scrap to work with!
So clever!
Thank you!
Love the videos man!!!! It doesnt matter what the video is about, its always awesome bro!! Loveee
Thanks buddy always appreciate the support!
@@TheFunnyCarpenter alwayss broo!!!!
This is great idea, i need to have it angled so it is parallel to wall to save space

yeah! 🤙
Any thoughts for doing this horizontally? Tried something similar, had a lot of tipping over still
Genius.
I see you have the best finder on the market! Yup it finds me Everytime 🤣
As soon as I walked by it in the store it just started lighting up....😂
@@TheFunnyCarpenter ha no batteries needed 🤣

Add a 3rd rail to catch the bottom tires?
The tires at the bottom rest nicely on that little concrete lip in my garage, but not a bad idea!
Btw can we get a shop tour with the tools you use???🙃🙃🙃🙃

I have all the tools except the pencil.
Had to dislike this idea.
