Making an Original Chef's Knife with Ryder Knives - Fiets of Strength Ep. 16
I've been wanting to collaborate with my dad on a project for a number of years and it just so happens he's become quite the talented knifemaker. Typically he makes bespoke hunting knives, and some really cool variations on a "bartender's knife". In this video he gives me a great deal of guidance in making my own design of a chef's knife and taking it from sketch to finished cutlery.
In this video you'll see both of us working on this knife together. It was an amazing learning experience for me and I loved going through the knife making process and so much fun to collaborate with my dad.
This knife uses "Nitro V" Stainless and some "garage sale" unknown wood for the handle. I couldn't be more thrilled with the end result.

The ULTIMATE Oldschool Freeride Hardtail Mountain Bike - Fiets of Strength Ep. 15
zhlédnutí 10KPřed rokem
Today I finish building my dream bike and take it out for a shred session. This is a very weird and very rare slice of the retro freeride hardtail bicycle world from 2003 with some truly unique bike parts on it. Seismic 6" downhill hubs, Twentyfour Cycles Le Toy III aluminum hardtail frame, Arrow racing 24" wheels, and a Marzocchi Bomber Fork. It's wild, REAL wild! Maybe the best urban assault ...

Happy Festivus Everyone! In this Episode of Fiets of Strength I take an old, thrashed, 1950s Firestone "Special Cruiser" bicycle frame and make it a 27.5" singlespeed klunker style mountain bike. Some special frame gussets and reinforcements, a modern fork, stem and handlebars, and it's ready to rip. Follow along to see how I do it. Instagram: j_ryde #fietsofstrength www.fietsofs...
Fixed Gear + Cyclocross + Tallbike = Tallbike Tracklocross! - Fiets of Strength Ep. 11

Last video I built up this Tall Bike Track Bike, and tried to take it to the velodrome, but ran into a bit of a speedbump... But honestly I wanted this bike to be a tall tracklocross bike all along anyway! So I swap out the wheels and tires for something a bit more suited for off-road riding and seek out some trails. I also add on a front disc brake because stopping is cool too. Here's the vide...

I've been hanging onto this old track frame of mine for YEARS waiting to make a tall track bike out of it. Finally got around to fabricating one and dang it's a fun freakbike. A brakeless fixed gear tallbike track bike, what's not to love? Hopefully this is a solid in-depth take on how I go about framebuilding a tallbike.

I don't mind if you steal my bicycle, but only this one! - Fiets of Strength Ep. 7, "Tweakbait"
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed 2 lety
This episode is all about building up a bike from old worn out parts. It works great, and gets me around town, but is best suited for those times I need to lock it up in a sketchy place and don't want to risk having one of my nicer bikes stolen. Great for going bar-hopping, or lending to your forgetful friend who's visiting for a few days. This bike has already been stolen from me twice (and I'...
Making a kick scooter out of scrap metal and spare parts - Fiets of Strength, Ep.6
zhlédnutí 3,4KPřed 3 lety
Back in the 80's during the heyday of BMX I remember a friend who lived down the street owned a push scooter with 12" wheels. At the time I thought it was so cool, even though I had a BMX bike (which is weird because the BMX was definitely much cooler). Maybe it was because it was so different. Anyway I figured I had enough scrap metal and parts lying around to bang one of these out as a simple...

    I really wanted one of these back in the day. My freeride HT at the time was a Norco Torrent with a Marzocchi Jr T. I had it set up with 26" front and 24" rear wheels, a .243 Racing bar and stem, a sick Titec Beserker saddle, a Blackspire Ring God, and bunch more freeride goodness.

    I'm turning my kids old BMX bikes into a downhill bike experiment. I swapped parts around added a fork that I got from an old Goodwill bicycle and I've got some parts coming in the mail. My future goal is to add a three-speed coaster brake hub and I know what you mean about building wheels. A buddy of mine from my old scout troop, a fellow leader, helped me build a wheel for my fixie to turn that into a three-speed. I get what you mean about the Zen of building bicycle wheels. And you are oh so right about, "if you don't know what a klunker is, there's google." Happy trails!

      Sturmey Archer uses their 3spd hub shell and tech for their SS coaster hub. It's a bit "grabby" but does ok. I wouldn't mind a bit more modulation, and less "freehub" noises personally.

    Thanks a lot for this video! You're one of the few youtubers to demo the process for brazing on disc mounts to a vintage MTB frame. Most of the popular bike-repair channels stick with aftermarket bolt-on mounts for disc brakes, which look just absolutely dreadful in my opinion. I also have an old bike, a GT Timberline Al Terra, and I've considered this kind of upgrade, but I've never done any soldering/brazing/welding work.
