Making a Wooden Bike - Full Build Video
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лис 2022
- This is a compilation of my wooden bike build videos from 2018, I noticed that lots of people watched the first video but only about a third of the people watched the second and third videos and I figured maybe it would've been better to make one shorter video... so here that is!
Sorry if you've seen them before, but I'm sure you'll be glad to know the bike is holding up great and I've cycled it hundreds of kilometers (despite only having 3 gears!)
I've been really touched to see a few people have messaged me to say they were inspired by my videos to make wooden bikes themselves. Hopefully there will be more wooden bikes out there after this video!

This is awesome! Basically the same process I followed when I built my wooden bike. It such a great feeling to ride around on something you built.
My apologies and I took it the wrong way so it's my fault I just never said nothing I'm sorry I apologize I'll make sure you video gets a thumbs-up I'm sorry I apologize again I misunderstood sometimes I'm an idiot I do that sorry about that God bless you and have a blessed day
Beautifully made 🚲 Great to see the process in such detail 👏
Thanks!!
Still the best bike build around, such an amazing job. Also from engineering perspective. Beautiful.
Thank you!!
Sorry if you've seen this before! I thought I'd make a full build edit of building my wooden bike for people who didn't want to watch all 3 of my older videos (lots of people watched the first video but not so much the second two)
I watched all of them earlier this year but I’m glad you put this together. I might try my hand at a build this year. Thanks for the inspiration. I might have missed this, but where did you get your seat tube and bottom bracket sleeve?
@@markphillips5800 oh cool! I got them from framebuildersupply.com good luck!
Genius!
Super cool build. I watched your videos from before but for some reason never asked a couple questions. For the downtube, the head tube and the hole for the crankset, how did you get drill bits or router heads at the right sizes? Thanks
It took some googling but I managed to find the router bit In exactly the right size online for the seatpost. The headtube and bottom bracket were just regular spade bits, I used thickened epoxy that I coloured with wood sanding dust but that filled in any gaps so while they were a good fit it didn’t need to be 100% perfect, you can see the bottom bracket slides in a bit when I left it on it’s side but putting the bike upright stopped that and I got my brother to fabricate a jig based off the bike frame I copied dimensions from to hold the headtube at the perfect angle
Sweet build. How did the joint points on frame (seat stays and chain stays) hold up. Was considering using a brass fixing to hold other end on my build as it’s only located in the routed pocket near seatpost
Everything is holding up fine! Cycled thousands of kilometres on it now
Bonjour,avez vous quelques detail sur les éléments de la fourche et du tube de fourche ?merci
I want to build mine too..is there a reference to build?
I just used an existing frame as the reference and made all the tubes slightly bigger
How much does a bike rack weigh?
Can you list the 2 part epoxy you used? Especially interested in how the bottom bracket is holding up glued into the wood? Thanks
I used west systems epoxy, bottom bracket is holding up fine! I’m not a light person and have cycled over 1000km on it
@@DavidParker which exact west system epoxy? West System is recommending G-Flex for metal to wood bonding, as it is flexible and less prone to withstand high stress. But it is much more expensive then 105 for example. I suppose you use steel tubes? I'm in the process of making a frame and I'm getting close to the moment of gluing the tubes.
Que maderas usaste sería de gran ayuda? Y culés serían otras opciones de maderas gracias
I used walnut and ash
Hello. I want to make my own bike. Do you sales the plans? How to get them? Thanks
I don’t sell the plans sorry! I just based my design on an existing bike frame
What type of wood did you use? im also trying to make a wooden bike.
I used Walnut and Ash
How much lighter is the bike due to it being made of wood?
It’s about the same weight as a steel frame… I could’ve probably made it lighter weight but I am not the lightest person and wanted to make sure it held up to me riding it which it has!
🤩👏
Thanks Strahan!!
That’s not a wooden bike, it’s a wooden framed bike. Everything else is metal and plastic 😅
You’re going to be really upset when you watch a video on how to make a chocolate cake
