Blake Builds A Custom Mountain Bike Rack | Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Blake was tired of having to take his bikes off his hitch-mounted rack to put his snacks in the boot of his jeep on his way to the trails, so he enlisted the help of friend Martyn (Innov8 Automotive) to fabricate a fully custom hinged bike rack for his vehicle! Check out part one now

Blake, you gotta cover the paintwork when welding or grinding near it. The sparks melt into the clearcoat and will start rusting in no time.
Seems like that's something the guy who owns the auto shop should keep track of...
I like blake because he's hilarious man in gmbn,thumbs up 2 blake
As a fellow jeeper/biker, I’m loving to see the progression of blake’s jeep from stock to monster mtb hauler lol
Blake, my man have to say very sceptical when you first started project mentioning tree's!
But your expert mate is the 'Dog's Boll*ck's'.
Excited to watch the end result!
An impressed

Hey Blake heres my glove! 😂
Blake would be awesome on an automotive channel as well - just a good presenter all around. Nice episode, a bit different but I really enjoyed it! :)
Makes me enjoy my 1Up rack even more. Angle it down and access the hatch of my SUV, which is a basic function of the design. All aluminum and won’t rust.
They also make a swing away adder for vehicles such as Jeeps with the spare.
And you don't even have to weld it to your car!
Always stoked for a good Blake Builds! Especially some custom goodness!
Blake is like Steve McQueen, cool without even trying :D
This is cool you did this BUT.... you could have just bought a swinging arm bike rack. lol Kuat makes an extension you can put on their hitch racks and rockymounts has a hitch rack called backstage swing away. :) But I enjoy the DIY stuff too.
Tip: temporarily block license plate before recording to minimize editing. It’s also less distracting for viewers, but the video was awesome none the less. Thank you
I was about to comment the same thing.
Surely just a simple GMBN or BlakeBuilds No plate cover is all it would take.
Best presenter, his vids with Pilgrim are the best we need more Blake + Pilgrim
Nope. Sam Pilgrim is a great biker and incredible athlete, but I find it hard to listen to a person who has destilled the entire active vocabulary down to a handful of words
@@ShitStefanShoots well... I didn’t come looking for Shakespeare or Wittgenstein
Great project. Always enjoy seeing peoples visions of how to make purpose built solutions. 👍
Boys, Thanks for showing the pride of doing something yourselves. A bit of pride in a skilled tradesmen as well.. I believe you did mention this is Video number 1.. I thought you painted the work when completed. I can buy this.. I can buy that.. Can you buy the Bentley?? or a Muzzle??
Oh my - grinder in one hand, work piece in the other and all that grinding towards your face with just lightweight safety specs on! 😱 Part 2 might be a while coming if anyone from the HSE sees this and the safety standards in your mates garage.
TÜV be like: Wo ist Ihre Einzelbetriebserlaubnis?
Ohne Witz, in Deutschland undenkbar.
Aber trotzdem nice was er alles baut 🤘🏼
@@enrico8655 übertrieben geil sowas einfach selber bauen zu können. Ist ein sehr cooles Projekt
Yeah cool idea, until someone rear ends you and the insurance tell you that yours is invalid because you've modified the factory towbar beyond its tested capabilities (sad but true in the UK) as soon as its modded from factory spec insurance is game over .
Same in Germany: you need a homologation for any part you screw or - God forbid - weld to a car, else your insurance tells you that the car they covered is not the car you are driving.
What a shit law....LOL.....In Mexico we dont have any of that....Unless you want it LOL
@gfrp we have Europe to thank for the law 🤦♂️
Nice to see Jef on the channel once in a while!
Love Blake’s series ! As per.
I would watch Blake brush his teeth if you posted it !
Hells yea! You guys want to sell me that blue print?! 🤣 Awesome video!
Oh, those Brits!!! I've started drinking more tea after watching Blake Builds series! Ahahah!!! Can't say that's bad, though :))))
You guys neeed to take a trip up to the NW and go to entwistle near Bolton
It has some sick DH trails
That looks like it’s going to be a behemoth of a vertical bike rack Blake and befitting a JKU. I have a manufactured five bike vertical rack on my Jeep but it’s not a swing away model. Eventually I will buy the swing component but being an avid MTBer and Jeep owner I am poor so it will have to wait a while.
Wow . Blake welcme beautiful people from Philippines
I feel sorry for whoever drives into the back of the jeep 😬
One up makes a rack with reverse plates that works with out removing rack on Jeep. I went with regular super duty. And installed a slight drop tha lt allows the same thing that clears my 37 spare and I can swap to other vehicles. E bike friendly also @ 75 lbs per bike is perfect.
Hey Blake , i'm really looking forward to the finished result. Keep going !!! 🤘🏻😁
the Muc-Off gloves filled the videwo with a little coli8n firze vibe :D
10:20 that’s what the penny was for when you were taking the receiver out.
Why not build the frame to the towbar or its chassis mounting points and ignore the receiver.
Finally!
More Blake Builds!
Get a friend with a ute and convince them they should ride too. That's what I did haha. Problem solved :D
Lol great idea
Cool video guys and that's a nice backend you got there🍻😆
Blake! You’re aliiive! You’ve been gone for so long I thought you were dead
Blake that's a very good awesome bill you got going on there with your friend
both of you are quite hilarious but yet very professional
with you two putting your heads together I'm building this bike rack that swivels excellent communications between the two years I'm pretty sure it was extremely fun because that is exactly what you guys are having fun on this build
Should be a great rack, need to put a hitch opening back on it to be able to pull a trailer if wanted too!
Genius ....
all the beautiful people out there
A fun video but seems like a alot of extra weight and work when there are great stands out there that does the same probobly cheaper and alot lighter.
well yeah but most racks don't fold out because his boot folds out sideways so he kinda needs to make his own
There are quite many that folds down actually.
@@MrMarcusNilsson Those that fold down are for hatchbacks, where the back opens up, that’s not the case for him.
I saw the final rack this week and it looks sick
Or you could just buy a Memo
vanswing for £600 and at only 25kg you would probably still be able to drive your vehicle uphill lol 😂
Glad my car wasn’t in that garage when this was made 🙄
good show
This video was such a coincidence, I am trying to find a way to bring our stuff to our local bike park when there is too much to carry, thanks!
buzzrack pilot 4x is exactly the product for your initial problem.... no need for fabrication lol
You can by rear mounted bike racks that go onto rear wheel on 4x4 i had one and attached to rear wheel...could take upto 30kg...i put my ebike on it...worked fine and i could open rear door fine even with bike on it
8:19 It’s not ocd it’s cdo
Lmao I have the same kettle as they have in the workshop.
Really enjoyed this looking forward to next episode, but I do hope those cars are his and not customer cars, as agree with the comments on sparks and dust etc. Also need some safety glasses at least whilst using the grinder! Set a good example for the kids watching on safety.
I know this vid was for the content and to just build your own... but for anyone who doesn't have the tools or the skills, Yakima and Küat make racks that swing out. I'm sure other companies do also.
you can also get racks that mount to the spare wheel, thats what i used to use on my landy,
Blake you need to replace your tires and rotate them regularly after replacing
buzzrack pilot 4x is exactly the product for your initial problem.... no need for fabrication lol
Guys, very interesting. But don't you need to have this device authorized at a National Authority or something? In my country, you'd need to have such a device certified or at least inspected by a road authority in order to employ it on public roads. And it will have consequences on insurance and all sort of things.
@Sven3xs sure, they only pay the fines :)
good to see the priorities are in order -- "cup of tea first!" I just hope it was rooibos
thats great diy, but i would save the time and get a yakama back swing, adds on to any bike rack.I love my Rock Mount swing away mount.
Cant wait for part 2
i did some grinding with a car a few feet away... covered the car with a blanket. when i took it off at the end of the job i came to find that the grinding sparks had burned through the blanket and burned into the rear windscreen. hundreds of little pit marks all over it. had to replace the heated glass.
ffs Blake not another build! im going to have to sit and stare at the screen until episode 2 now!🤘😂
Coming soon!
How the HEwwwllllll did I miss Part 1? Gonna watch Part 2 later!
Should of just bought a 1Up bike rack with reverse side plates. The tire carrier easily clears the bike rack.
Hey Blake, what kind of tea do you like and how do you like it prepared?!
Cuppa Tea First...... that’s English talking right there 🤘🇨🇭👀
put the snacks on the back seat and save a sh*t load of work.
Where's the fun in that? 🤔
"hold on, lemme get my coronavirus hand" 😂
Sick video Blake..........................
Would not want to be the person who rear ends you! Lol
@Monolithic Juggernaut trust me I know, I rode a motorbike everyday and see people on there phones all the time.
Quick TIP: Make some yellow license plates without numbers for cars so you don't have to blur them later in editing...
Put them on the roof rack? or create a simple rack that slides back and pulls down like a loft ladder off the roof rack to the back, attach bikes then slide back up out the way.
That was awesome!
I want to make one for my motorbike so badly
8:00 tha f*** blake 😂
Blake lets see your drawer system in that jeep
Hitch-mounted bike racks - for bikes are much better, stronger and easier than round ball tow bar mounted bike racks, especially for MTBs. However for in the UK I think they are illegal. Also so many regulations with lights and number plates and vision.
I think there should be some exceptions in the UK to use hitch-mounted racks for bikes.
Glad that's not my car near where your grinding all those sparks..
Damn it Blake. Use ear protection when grinding ffs!
Why ? Wear goggles yeah but it aint that loud 😂😂
@@jackwoodhouse2321 it really is. Welding is even worse...
@@jackwoodhouse2321 You've obviously never used an angle grinder for an extended period of time. 15 minutes exposure of 100 dB is enough to cause hearing loss.
A free running angle grinder can give off 95 to 100 dB.
It can damage your hearing, even if it doesn't hurt.
@@Rab_Cee Welding sound levels can reach up to 100 dB....
@@Rab_Cee metal? Bring out a decibel reader, and see for yourself. What you think or doesn't think is loud has nothing to do with facts.
You gonna weld the bikes to the rack, too?
What is this?!? A lidl version of guy martin builds a tank?
Fits 2015 Mustang
Yeah! Been waiting for this video!
That’s what happened to my old car the roof got covered in grinding bits that went rusty and wrecked the paintwork
deja vu
You also can’t get boost-hub bikes side by side on those Thule racks.
You caps are funny.... :)
In germany we say: aus dem Verkehr gezogen!
Grinding steel next to a Ferrari and a Porsche...
Nice... 🤦🏻♂️
Its not like thers hundreds of very hot fragments flying about or really sharp metal dust floating round and absolutely no spatter comes off welding steel either 🤫
@@Rab_Cee i almost started shouting and swearing at 2:38
@@Rab_Cee There's enough. Doesn't take alot. I wouldn't be impressed if that was my car they were grinding next too.
@@Shralps lol was tryin to be funny i know what the dust like
@@Rab_Cee My bad. I read it in a different tone 🤦🏻♂️
Yessss
Buy a Thule, it can flip
You are awesome
Great vid
Random dude with phone in the background in the shorts ! Must drive the videographer mad😂
blake just get kuat pivot 2
how toasty were your hands the next day 😂
Weldy Blaky 🤣🤣🤣
I had bike rack on my nissan xtrail.....you can buy bike rack that goese onto back wheel of car..and you open door also....it worked fine for my ebike..and could take 30kg....they sell them in uk for 4x4 and mounts spare rear wheel....
Armitage trailers and towbars ferrybridge it’s what we do 😁
Any experts out there… does this need type rating?
Making me cringe welding with that Garmin watch on there Blake! Watch for sparks mate!
Is that a really old Thule rack Blake? I have a similar one about 10 years old, and it has the tipping facility.
Hope the owner of that Bentley and Jag isn't watching. Should've had some shields up infront of the cars. Drives me nuts when people work that close to those types of cars when I'm working on them at work.
Remind me not to store my Ferrari at that shop. Raging.
Where's the link for the muc-off giveaway?
Why don’t you remove the number plate the blurred bit is annoying otherwise great video
I am pretty sure the one who edited this video regrets to not have taken the numberplate off before filming
How much is this custom made bike rack worth? Probably more than all his bikes put on the rack.
How about a spare wheel bike rack????
I had one and worked fine for my ebike
