Never seen this channel before, but I gotta say, the video is really high quality production and the pacing of the video is just perfect to neither get bored nor lacking of information! Great video and great content!
Thanks a bunch! That kind of feedback really means a lot. I'm still fairly new to the scene but am hoping to continue growing like I have been. Spread the word!
My 1st technical video which TH-cam recommended from watching a bike review and i LOVED ❤️💕😍it! I don't own any power tools so will probably have Home Depot do all the wood cuts but I'm EXCITED to give this project a try (going to cheat with making the french cubby and use a plastic 3 drawer Rubbermaid brand although I already miss not having that custom shelf spacing flexibility) Thanks for showing every step and not assuming anything. I would never have known to pre drill holes before trying to thread in the hooks or to drill plywood to avoid cracking. also the leveler thing is smart. I can't tell you how long it takes me to get a picture frame to hang evenly on my wall by only trying to eyeball it. Sincerely, your newest subscriber ;)
Saved me over $256CDN dollars in buying the monkey bar racks! I cut the 2x4x8 in half to make a bike rack and a rack for shovels and other tools. Total cost came to 44 dollars! My garage is now organized.
Thanks for the video. I built a 6 ft version for 4 bikes today. Works great. Cost: $8.00 for the hooks. Already had the wood on hand from prior projects.
Great video. I made a similar system for hanging my numerous bikes but didn't think to stagger the height of the hooks. The one useful addition I made was to make it so I could secure the bikes. I fastened another 2x4 at crank height. I attached rings to this 2x4 which lets me use cable locks to lock the bikes. It is super easy to unlock and remove whatever bike I would like to ride. While this will not deter a seasoned bike thief, it will certainly keep people from helping themselves when the garage door is open.
Dayum. This is such an "elegant" solution (simple, efficient, etc.) and sooo much better than hanging our bikes from the rafters in our garage...(insert visual from a horror movie of a room full of hanging, rusty but sharp tools swinging all over the place).
Just finished building. Quick tip: Don't just use the cheapest hooks you can find. It makes a diffrence! The large square ones sag alot which you need to account for. They also allow the bikes to slide around which throws off the spacing. The smaller curved ones seem to hold bikes in place just fine. Thanks for the video! 👍
Great project. I did the same since we have 7 bikes. 3 are for my kids. I also made some angled shelves for them to grab helmets and shoes. Speaking of that. Time for a ride!
I used your idea/dimensions and added a few things. I did it with just a single 3/4” sheet of plywood and cut two longitudinal 4” pieces to build up the hook lines. I added stain and poly to match the garage doors. Thanks for the inspiration.
I think you are the new standard for just-the-requisite-facts-ma'am no bullshit instructional video. Thank you & please keep up the good and necessary (and no-bullshit) work.
Good ideas thanks. But - to be honest - thinking of that cabinet you made, not many folks have those very nice saws/tools etc you are using! However, the rack with hooks was a great idea, feasible with the usual 'amateur' diy tools - and I'm working on it!
I know this is an old post, but this solution worked perfect for me. I just wanted to thank you for making this video, it took all the guess work out, and really helped.
Saw you on Seths channel doing the e-Bike thing, PROMPTLY came looking for your channel when I heard you were into woodworking. Turns out I had visited this channel before and I actually BUILT your bike storage solution TODAY BEFORE I saw the video. Its a good thing I already subscribed. GREAT STUFF man.
I'll start out with nice rack. Just a note some bikes that have hydraulic disc brakes cannot be hung on the wall or upside down. I found this out by hanging my bike from ceiling in my garage anytime my bike was hung up longer than a week I would have to bleed my brakes.
Hanging your bikes should make no difference to the brakes. I hang all of my bikes, all with disc brakes and have had no need to bleed any of them. Sounds like you had air in the system already and it just became more noticeable once all the air had risen to the lever end of the hoses.
Not sure why it took me so long to think about looking here for a bike storage solution. Knowing you have done stuff with Seth I should have also known you may have something bike related for storage. I have been trying to come up with an idea to store my 7+ bikes in the least amount of room possible but still be able to get to them with ease. I am also renting so had been planning on building something free standing but at this point this is a way better solution and ... Spackle for the move/win haha. Thanks for this amazing video and I also love the shelf idea, only wish I had picked up the table saw someone was giving away last week. Looking forward to you and @Seth's Bike Hacks doing another video
I have built that rack. It does pack the most bikes into a small space. However, those hooks are garbage. I used the exact same ones. They don’t stay in place. They twist and grab your spokes, so getting the bike off the rack is a frustrating mess, forcing you to twist and turn the bike while it bangs into the other bikes. Getting them on the rack is the same. The hooks also bend within a few months, making them even more likely to grab your spokes and rim. My wife hated this rack and refused to put her bike on it, it was too hard for her to get it on, and she could not get it off at all. My kids couldn’t possibly lift their bikes onto it. Eventually, even I hated trying to put my bike on it. I plan to build one with the same concept, but a different method of holding the wheel, and a block-and-tackle pulley to assist lifting the bike into place.
Could you do 1 Rail system? You would have to flip the bikes on the hooks. Handles Bars Up and then Handle Bars downward. That way more room on floors ?
Cool project! When I saw the thumbnail pic for your video and then heard you say "French cleat" I thought you cut the entire rail with a 45 degree angle for both of the pieces with the bike hooks, that would have allowed you to hang other cabinets/shelves or accessories anywhere along the length of that wall. Great space-savings, I may copy this for the many bicycles that my kids, my wife, and I have!
Thank you for the great idea! Very easy to follow and adapt to my size (6') for our garage space! Also very compact to hold more bikes than a premade one!
VERY COOL! I used to be a BICYCLE SHOP MANAGER in Virginia Beach Virginia, and that's pretty much how many bicycle shops hang there bikes. Especially the smaller bicycle shops. Great video, and I just SUBSCRIBED to your channel. KEEP THE RUBBER SIDE DOWN! Later.
@@craftedworkshop the last time I heard the word dado was as a kid watching "This Old House" in the late 80s/early 90s. Thanks for the video - this is exactly what I need to organize my garage.
Thank you for the video. Just completed my own version today and it works great. With mountain bikes, I find you do need to be careful about scraping the tip of the hooks as the coating can come off. I am not a craftsman type by any measure and this only took me 3 hours to complete..including going to get the wood.
LOL...I WAS wondering about the tear out on the plywood. I know you would not let that happen even with a "garage" project. I breathed a sigh of relief when you cleared that up for us. =) Great project you have given me an idea for the 6 bikes (sometimes more depending on how many kids friends are over) I have floating around my garage.

Cool video and rack. I made a similar style rack except mine stands on the floor. Your video is much more descriptive and higher quality than mine though. Might steal the cabinet idea though!
For my bike I bought one that has a small plastic plate for where the lower wheel rest in wall so it doesn't get all dirty. I think it is a good idea to add something like it!

You should have shown the rack more closely. And how you put the bikes on and off. Looks great though.

Nice, that’s awesome!
Can you point out what part of the video shows the second attachment point for the bikes? I see the hooks at the top, but what keeps the lower part of the bike from moving... thanks.
The lower part stays in place due to gravity, it doesn’t have any attachment points for the bottom.

Hey, first one of these that I think is well thought out because you arrange the bikes in two rows.
Could you have combined bike-hook with a french cleat system? Like ... screw hook into piece of wood and then hang that piece onto the cleat?

For my bike I bought one that has a small plastic plate for where the lower wheel rest in wall so it doesn't get all dirty. I think it is a good idea to add something like it!
Yea, once I get my CNC, I think I'll cut out a few pieces of ¼" plywood in the shape of a chainring to protect the wall!
