The bolt and top cap as washer is brilliant and the 32mm this is a hidden secret of top mechanics !😮

This is epic 😂

Chain brand?

Nice tutorial!

Nice video, what drivetrain you have installed?

fck I would rather go brakeless instead this kind of botch-job lol

Seems to me that it's less of a hassle to shorten the hose on the lever side. Just a new barb and olive (and optionally a barb fitting tool). No removal of caliper/lever from the frame is required that way. Also, the pliers used 1:55 are entirely unsuitable for shortening brake lines. 2:52 lube the o-rings with some mineral oil.

What size screw did you use??

You just saved my money!! Thanks!!

Thanks this is very helpful.

Great Video! What handlebar tape did you use? Gear cables?

Simple and informative. Great video !

Do you know how to put 2 single sprackets? One for cycling and one for ebike?

That isn’t safe, headset will for sure become loose and possible damage the frame. Not a good product, but I like the idea.

Nobody ever tried tig welding an aluminum bracket?

Great hack

Doesn't work

oh wow i was expecting it to shift much worse on the faster gears because the jockey wheel is pretty far away from the smaller cogs but i guess it doesn't matter as much for smaller cogs.

Am I crazy? Or just un-cool. No! People really do have a bike/quill stem problems to solve like me…!

Thank you!

I recently got ahold of a 1993 Kona Cinder Cone frame as with yours it seems the previous owner attempted to remove it as it is probaby about 3\4 of the way out but jammed in tight, iam going to try this method wish me luck.

Thank you, this got me out of a spot.

If you want to use a MTB wheel on a single speed frame, can you do it without the hub? Thanks

Can you make it fixed gear?

please level the volume! The musc at rhe end is blaring loud compard to rest Hurt my ears. Essy way to anger viewers

Smart ill trt it later .. did you just put it on one side i think im having the same issue only on the front i have to make sure

I was trying find a way to remove the washer inside the crank so I could use a Park CWP-7 for this job. That wasn’t working so I searched again and found this solution! Thank you!

Just zoned out and got jump scared at the drop damn this track is lit

Very satisfying

How do you know that how many spacers do you need?

Maybe the small sproket on the tensioner is tought for different chain width, like 8 speed chain vs 12 speed chains are different. Also someone said chains like 8 speed vs 12 speed don't have same geometry or distance at the rollers of the chain link ? This last one seemed a bit odd, but I can't see why that tensioner would make noise if they all fit.

Wow!! What a brilliant idea!

I always use the analogy that Friction is like tuning a radio with no preset you know your "in gear" when the station is loud and clear, and Index is like presets on your radio ...I switched from brifters to Friction about 20 years ago and I am not going back. Bullet proof and works with many combinations of gear.

You need a chain tensioner 100% as your chain wont last long

Very appreciated for your high quality video work ! Very informative tutorial !

What is the advantage of shortening handle bars?

I have to adjust my seatpost msny times what can i do would i abke to do ??

Good idea, but as some others mentioned below, if you only get 2-3 threads of purchase with the hex nut, this method can just strip the interior threads of the crank. Alternatively, you can keep the cap bolt in the other side and drop in a few small ratchet adapters (or some steel rod of appropriate length). Then use the standard puller to back the crank out.

Sloppy fit WTF?

Its funny how this is easy, yet complicated without seeing this. Many thanks!

I bet he ended up LOVING this build.

This is so great..... right behind you! Puttin an alloy 27 CB on an old lite lugged Bianchi frame. Thumbs up Sahib!

I tried this but it didn’t work :( . I’m going to try to use a belt and strap the wheel tighter down to the rim and hopefully I can get a seal. But it’s not looking good . The tire shop was able to do it but I’m having trouble . Wish the slime worked .

Everyone needs a 10kmh bike put together with an adjustable wrench...thanks for the effort, but I’ll pass

Hi genius, I have a question. My crown is 42t and I'm trying to fit this cassette 11-46t the question is Would it work with an equal derailleur long box or is the 42t too much?

The first pieces of rubber on the eyelet look thin enough to put back into the old pins to apply pressure on outer face of eyelid. I’ll be trying that out if they fit on mine

Thanks a lot 🙏

This could be accomplished by using aluminum duct tape but still a good idea!👍🏻👍🏻

Bro, I'm from Brazil, one of these was used but it's incredibly new! I believe it has never been used. Sunringlé hubs, Shimano Deore brakes, integrated crankset, Shock Rockshox Bar, 100mm manitou splice at the front and sun ringle ryde comp rims. My use would be to cycle around 50/60 kilometers and eventually learn some jumps, go down stairs, do you think this is a good thing? I have a freeride one but I feel very uncomfortable, I'm 1.85 tall and it bothers me a lot after a few kilometers.

Mine had that same black handlebar tape until yesterday...
