Esteban’s DIY bike trainer

how to build your own bike trainor


What Esteban used to build the project:

Important: Some parts of this project are not sold on our online store. The build requires a pair of bike pegs that can be purchased online. To build our bike trainer, we ordered a pair for 3/8″ wheel axle (different bikes, different types: we recommend you verify which pegs suit your wheel).
