Poor guys, never heard of workbench and vice :-) Large-ish workbench on lockable casters, with thick-ish steel top for welding, assembly and overall not-working-on-your-knees-for-a-change is what this workshop needs :-D
Any time Blake's in Martin's shop, the episode should be called "Blake Gets Bullied pt 4"👍😆
This is the best build on TH-cam right now
Thanks dude 😉👍
Part 4: Upgrading Jeep's suspension to handle a full steel bike rack! :)
Amazing build!!! Love it! Thumbs up!!! :) I was actually concerned about different wheel sizes, but in the end of the video you mentioned that it fits all sizes, so you've absolutely nailed it!!!
Fantastic Quality
Cool bike rack and all, but I can't help but think a 2 inch hitch receiver rack would have been a lot cheaper and more practical. Like the Thule T2 Pro XT or the Kuat NV 2.0. They can take e -bikes, fat bikes, road bikes, and up to 4 of them for like $1000.
Excellent build!! Martin, you knocked this out of the park.
I’m getting my first mountain bike soon
Thoroughly enjoyed the build and looking forward to the next. Maybe something including brick-laying 😁.
Blake builds a bike shop
Martins got a nice rs3 dude. Awesome skills too
Thank you Martyn! I’m so relieved to see this finished. Thank you Blake, for your great content!
Awesome job Martyn! You too Blake....lol What makes that rack cool is not only how it looks, but it's a one off custom rig.
Thanks Martyn🤘 nice job teaching Blake to weld👍
That was great. Nice looking rack. You two need to team up again. These three videos have been super entertaining. Thank you Blake and thank you Martyn!
Nice build.
Absolutely brilliant! It’s so cool to see the creativity you guys have to build that completely from scratch!
Blake, Martin - Great work, great to see the build from start to finish! Well done fellas, loved the episodes👍👌🏻 🛻
Great idea Blake locking the front brake lever so bikes don’t sway on rack when open. Great build Martin. Pretty cool rack and super strong.
A truly inspiring video to fabricate a bike rack! Keep up the Blake Builds videos.
Looks really good, maybe a warning triangle hanging on the middle bike would be a good idea but well done to you both👍
I was thinking the same thing! I know how people here in the States drive and I would hate for someone to smash my $4k bike and a stoplight at night 😳
Tie a hi-vis vest like everyone else does. 😂
Well done Blake & Martin, wicked build .......
Brilliantly entertaining. Excellent work too. Great to watch. Thanks.
Love the focus mk1 rs..
And what u doing as well 👌🤘
Super cool build. Great to watch someone who is really skilled at what they do.
As a bike rack engineer, it's going to be a pain in the arse to get a bike in and out with the upper wheel holder so tall. I'll echo the other comments regarding the lower wheel straps/brackets, having to undo the straps to access the rear of the vehicle is going to prove to be pretty annoying. I do have to say the idea to strap the front brake to hold the bikes in position is pretty clever. And it looks freaking bomb proof! Your next version of the rack is goin to be way better!
Good Job Blake and Martyn
Blake. Just get a damn shingle back off-road rack. I know it means you have to take the rack off to fully open the boot, but if you have one with a full open then like a just the window opens option then you can still access the boot through the window/door thing. Plus they are street legal. Look em up
Thats a great build. Well done.
And you can, "rub your ring on it" (14:15). If the fancy takes you. Only thing i will say, is that the spring bolt should be the other way up, in case the spring fails.
Great job though guys!
Once those straps frey and come off next time use a really hot hole punch since its nylon it'll close the ends off so it won't frey.
Good advice. Thanks dude
Or use stainless machine screws and nylock nuts rather than rivets, and leather toe straps rather than nylon.
@@prestachuck2867 leather if its exposed to elements all the time and not treated will get dry and cracked way faster than nylon. But I agree if your willing to oil them from time to time they will last WAY longer.
Very nice work ...... congratulations and you did it!,, ride safe always
Brilliant content Blake keep it up and great job Martyn.
This custom bike rack gets a super nice from me! Great job, thanks for showing us how you made it.
Very special stuff, thank you! It's definitely inspiring for my new solo music project UV 🎤
Excellent build Martin! :D
Blake the builder: can we fix it
Martin: yes we can
Loved this series! Well done Martin and Blake! What a great job! 👍🏻👌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Martin giving everyone OCD from touching the rotor
How oily are his hands
In the next video of Blake riding, we may encounter some squeaky brakes haha
Not too worried about his natural oils on his hands, but he is a shop mechanic and you never know what he had his hands in before touching the disc. And I can confirm that industrial oils do in fact cause a horrible sounds and reduce stopping power 😂
Absolutely!!! :D I really thought about writing the same at the moment I've seen Martin touching the rotor!!! :D :D :D
a trick: watch series at kaldroStream. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.
Awesome! 👌🏻
Sick
Amazing idea of the rack. Well made
Brilliant job gents 👍
Great build martin ,Blake.
Hmm Ill just be buying a Plummet rack and working some overtime at what i do well
Martin gods hands; beutyfull planning and work.
*Looks rad!!!!!!!!*
Incredible craftmanship
Good 1 Martin
The idea is very unique and its awesome!
Awesome as always. I'd like blake to build a homemade foam pit for practicing the dirt jumps.
So did you work around the little issue of the rear window catching the rack when it lifts up @ 8:35 ? Awesome build though, thanks to Martyn!
More please!
This was different from you usual videos. I really enjoyed something different. Thank you for such good content.
get more use from it by attaching the front wheel holder with a pin. You can have a fat bike width or road bike width by switching it out. The front wheel holder also pins in your garage to store your bike and comes with the bike you choose for that ride.
Brilliant
BLAKE - throw a rubber band around your handle bar (or a hair tie, or any other stretchy loop material). Sits neatly out of the way inside on you bar while you ride, and never lose it.
Awesome build
And your friend did a damn good job on the welding you didn't do too bad yourself
I love GMBN’s Blake Builds
Great show Martyn and Blake,and a very merry Xmas to u all Cheers. 🖖
Thank you Martyn!
Taking orders 😃👏👏
Next build should be a biltong machine, the ultimate trail snack 🤪
All these questions like , what about the fat bike, jump bike and what about the number plate? The other bikes can still go on the roof and in the jeep. And as for the plate it can be moved with a number plate light rerouted easily. These are just teething problems. Overall this build is epic and I'm a mechanic and fabricator who would be proud of this. #blakebuildsforthewin
Love you heaps man keep up the awesome
Sick🤘
Would love to see Blake show us around his sweet Jeep GMBN adventure mobile!
"2.6, pretty much the biggest wheel you're gonna get"
- cries in 27.5+ -
Fantastic episode ,Martin the master 😂😂
Awesome I like one on my 4x4
That is so awesome
Blake had the best idea of the day with the cable tie
Masterpiece
A cable tie, brilliant!
Looks awesome would love one made for my bmw 335d estate so I can't through on 3 bikes
Awesome rack, can’t beat custom built 👍🏻
Drive carefully, there will be a lot of lateral stress on the bike's front wheels.
if you compare it to blakes riding its not a problem
Should have made the rear tire holders swing out with the rest of the rack.
I suggested this on the first video... now have to mess with brakes every time bit of a fail
Suppose it saved time and less welding but that would’ve made it a lot easier to use in the long run
But what if he needs his spare tire?
@@sebastiankowdrysh9518 If they swing out with the rest of the rack there is no need to clamp the brakes, and everything would swing out of the way to get in the back and have access to the spare.
No can do. Martin built this from scratch and he even had to step back and think about that wee problem. Can’t put a rear wheel brace on because it won’t hinge from the tree. Locking up the front brake is ok because the swing out in open position is only for a short period of time.
Well done Martin. Monster build mate ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
jajaja so good video love the jumptrail! now feel motivated what gest me going the longest while bike is delta parole or other rokk music!
Should’ve bought a LWB transit. BIG boot out back, no rack needed & living space too!
Martyn is a legend!
Cheers to Martyn!!!!
We need blake builds in everyday of our lives
Sickkkkkk
I bet blakes jeep has put a bit of weight 🤣
Blake... You said that you need to have the front brake on to stop the bikes from swinging... Hows that going to work on your DJ? It doesn't have a front brake.
guess he gonna have to let the DJ shwang :P
I'm thinking that his DJ might bee too short for the rack anyways. If it's perfect for enduro and DH bikes, a DJ might just hang there
Cool
Love this vid! Really cool to see you guys come up with such an awesome rack from scratch. Just curious though, any way you could weld another horizontal tubular bar to the bottom of the vertical piece? You’d have to do a swivel like for the above bar but I’m sure there’s a way. Then you wouldn’t have that swinging bike problem when opening your Jeep door. Also you wouldn’t have to unlock the rear tire every time you wanted to get inside. Feel like that would be annoying.
Thank you to Martyn
At this point martyn deeply regretted committing to this project.
haha i was just thinking "man i wish blake would hurry up with the next vid"
Looks rad! 🤙🏻 but I bet it weighs a lot and the mpg will be horrendous on that beast 😂
Yea this looks good but has defended the purpose of having easy access to the boot the support for rear wheels should have pivoted too. Now to get in you have to unstrap all rear wheels strap all frount brakes on so they dont swing and remove locking pin thats still alot of work to get stuff in and out of boot.
Don't forget the visibility of the license plate and the rear lights....
And I think Blake needs a #movable #spotlight on top of the rack for some light in dark conditions.
I do not know the rules in your country, but with protruding objects you need to attach a red / white striped plate on the back (a red #handkerchief or even better a #GMBN #tshirt) for extra attention value of protruding objects.
Cool rack but honestly think there could have been a better / easier solution without braces everywhere.
Wheel would have been better tilting the other way for a start. I would have looked a hinging the bumper, quick release the other end then that swing out too. Saves having to unstrap the bikes to get into the boot.
Wow
Do traffic regulations allow in UK to cover stop lights and license plates? I am sure that the German police would have a problem with this.
The UK constabulary would also have a problem with this but as this rack doesn't appear to cover either one then its OK!
However, as with all things in UK law there are exceptions and loopholes and you may still need a light board on the back as these bikes effectively extend the vehicles length considerably meaning the lights and number plate are no longer considered to be in the correct position.
Hyaa!
In episode 4 :- Can we manage to get modified car insurance or do we dismantle it all?
🤔🤔 😏😏 😁😁
Bike insurance, covers any damage while transporting \o/
@@bigbarrelbr That wasn’t the point. The tow bar has been directly and significantly modified, so I wonder if an insurance company would ever insure such a DIY modification to a vehicle. So if it is possible to insure I wonder what the cost would be? 🤔
What shoes are you wearing Blake? There sick!
i’m not first
i’m not last
