Anybody else remember being a kid and having no fear trying to do a wheelie? I miss the days of riding around the neighborhood on only the back wheel lol
Wheelies are no problem at all for me to pull ,even go over pivot point ,I know il recover ,but manuals... They are sketchier as you are extended backwards, so if you mess up, you are likely getting hurt
They're good for training your mind to "relax" in the initial steps of getting used to the feeling of pulling the bike backwards into position. When learning anything new for the first time that has an element of danger, your brain's "safety protocols" will always be on high until it's comfortable with whatever maneuver you're doing.
@@Coastal_Cruzer I can’t see this buckling the mountain bike wheels I’ve seen. Maybe it would but those things are stout. A commuter or road bike wheel? Yeah I could see that. I wouldn’t trust the wheel on the bike I have now on this but my childhood bike and the one I had as a young adult were mountain bikes and went through a lot that a bike should never have to go through lol.
Its one thing to ride on the wheel properly its another to bend the rim sideways with force they only strong with pressure pushinf down on the tire not from stress tweakimg it sideways...
It's not the same as doing a manual. You need rotation, the faster you go the easier it is. It's hard to get your head round it. Get your wheelie game on and find that sweet spot then hover your ass off the seat. And be quick on that back brake
yea they don't really translate to being in motion very well. but it is good for getting that muscle memory where you need to be to start lifting that front tire. you can see it in here face when she finds that sweet spot. That feeling is now locked into her mind. that alone is worth building one of these. Now she just needs to learn to not hug the frame with her knees and open up or she'll just be falling over sideways every time.. Also she needs to load up better before the motion back. I'm sure she'll learn that when the training wheels are off. But after watching the video a few more times.. Eh, she's developing bad habits if she continues using this the way she is. you can see at the end she mashes the brake to keep her from over rotating.. It also prevented her from falling back forward for a breif moment. yea she'll faceplant if she does that in motion.
They’re good for people who have a hard time know how much strength is needed to get the front wheel up to the balance point. But other than that yeah need to get out on the road and throw down some sick manuals to get a real feel for it
can't hurt. at least not for a beginner. I might build my 6 year old one to have in the garage this winter but there is so much more that goes into getting good at manualing. Balance, pumping your legs, micro adjustments with the pedals and brakes. Good luck!
just do it on a crappy old bike if you can do it on an old 20inch bmx...with no chain...that will get you to the next level. its more about getting over the fear. then remember which brake level to hit when you do a real one and not land on your a$$. endos....are harder.
I think it could help get your balance, being comfortable and confident , but while accelerating and maintaining a constant speed would be the only difference. But I think it would help.
Seems like a good step 1 you can learn starting position, getting the wheel up. Lean back arms straight keep your head up. Good for a couple sessions then you got to take it to the streets. This can definitely give you a confidence boost to advance.
Super awesome! Good job! May I give some pointers? Make sure you preload that front end before pushing back. Also, keepp those heels pointing downward to promote that weight shift.. You can see the very second your toes start pointing down, your center of mass follows it foreward. Also, keep your head up, dont watch your front tire. And careful with that rear brake, you want to feather it. Don't get in the habit of mashing the brake on the trainer. I would rather see you master the art of bailing out from over rotating first. You're doing awesome, a few more hours of practice and you'll be manualing everywhere. Plus its a fundamental skill to mtb so hell yea!
Ditch the back wheel and mount the bike to the frame with a big bolt through the rear axel? You could put a stopper block on so the bike can't go backwards too far aswell
i think the best way to wheelie or manuel is to first know how to do a wheelie as in a sit down peddling wheelie then get slower and slower till your sitting down and not peddling anymore just use the break on the balance point then start practicing manuals going slow on a small grass hill. in no time at all you will be straight into a wheelie down a hill to standing sitting manuals all the way down and will feel natural
@@saltybmxer6977 how so good Sir. I personally learned to do it on the trailway before I learned on the trainer. That being said, I think it's a great solution to getting your hips where they need to be. To be honest, the trainer help me with bunny hops.
@@matthewortiz8737 any chance you live in Southern California? If so I’ll go ride with you and teach you how to manual. Barry Nobles has one of the best manual videos I have seen. He talks a lot about the stuff I teach.
I would tie a piece of loose rope around the front spokes and attach that to the front base board at a specific length, just in case you lean too far back
Take the back wall off, do that with pure break and no wall for your back tire to lean on, you have something giving you back pressure thats not there when your doing a normal wheelie
Come on guys, give the bent rim comments a rest. She's not the first to use a manual machine / trainer and not the last and not many tears are there over bent rear rims.
My experience is that they don't translate. I have built 2 manual machines (for BMX then mountain bike), on both I could "manual" for 60 seconds, super tiring! But, could I manual down the road? No! Not even for one second. I ditched the MM approach and have since spent hours (& hours!) practicing on the bike. I can now do about 30 meters....
You shift your weight on a manual, you feather the brake on a wheelie, there's a difference You're pedaling with the wheelie so no limit on distance, the manual distance is limited by your speed and momentum because you're coasting, if you work the brake you're cutting your distance short Learn by hopping a curb and coasting as long as possible, preferably a slight downhill slope, try not to touch the brake unless you're going over backwards and learn to shift your weight at the knees forward and back
Not sure its a great way to represent a static manual bc when you're doing a manual on a rolling bike you also have to manage the front to back instability and maybe deal with the momentum of the speed
The training and balance is def a plus. When you are rolling it all becomes easier but that trainer aspect will give your body memory for the responses. I'd put a limit bungie or strap on the front so you don't rotate of the back cuz that is no fun.
You want to have your seat higher up so you can sit in it while you pedal instead of having to stand that way your more stable it will be easier to stay still and you can lean forward or backwards while sitting in the seat to control your back and forth balance but right before you pull up to do the wheel scoot a little bit forward on your seat lean forward towards your bars the swiftly lean back and sit towards the back of the bike seat when you pull up to pop the wheel it’s easier to find your balance point when sitting down but I think it’s good to learn standing wheelies before your learn to do them sitting down then it’s easier to go farther and stay Up
There are places that actually charge a lot of cash for people to learn wheelies and other balance points on dirtbikes. So yup. It works. Nice bare bones setup, it's just lacking 2 main components.. 1 a tether for the front wheel - to keep the bike from looping out backwards and 2 would be a safety-back-stop for the rider - again, to prevent loop outs and rear summersaults while hoping the bike also doesn't land on you. haha
As a Expert in 40 mph manuals down steep hills,there is no other way than to build up slowly with confidence and speed,confidence in your back brake too,your bike has to be in optimum condition, and it must be a day with little to no wind.
I have a ninja brand one that makes you balance side to side aswell. They will not teach you how to manual. But it will decrease the time it takes to learn how to if you use this aswell.
@@erik....do u even know why? no? then stfu maybe theres a reason like not relying on pressing down on the pedals like in a wheelie btw there has to be a strap holding the front wheel now go cry
@@Alex-ye2hh I used these manual trainers to learn to manual, removing the chain makes it so u can’t push on the pedals to keep yourself back and not using the rear brake makes it much more realistic too.
Not really effective cause the cranks get stuck on the cassette and don't move freely, also you can't practice using the brake. Rolling is so much different, as you have to learn to balance side to side, and you can also use the front wheel to balance/steer. That lumber is better off used to make a bike stand for working on the bike, in my honest opinion.
If you can hold for 5 seconds on that then you can absolutely catch a 30 second manual on flat ground. Your forward momentum greatly increases the ability to balance.

Not as long as the chain is on. It's easy to hold yourself up with chain tension.
