Great content. Still debating on this bike. After seeing you ride it and the bars you put on it... it looks like a great bike. Need to see your video on how to make that rear fender. Thanks for producing this content!
The fender gets lots of complements in public. I feel my fuji was of good value when i bought it. There were definitly bikes that were less expensive with possibly better parts on them. But not from brands i was familiar with. Fuji has been making feathers for as long as i can remember. So i felt safe knowing that if something wasnt right i could get it handled. Thank you for commenting. And good luck on your bike hunting.
I'm not sure how I picked up that trick. I'm sure it had to do with not being able to find my chain whip on my messy work bench at the Bike Shop I worked at. And just winged it.
@@albikes8484 I am running 42mm high profile aluminum rims at the rear. They are remarkably stiff and rock solid. Probably they will never get untrue but they are also not very light with 630 grams
Learned something new in the first 2 minutes, never thought to unscrew a cog like that... Thanks....!
Me too. I’ve watched a lot of videos showing rear cog install/removal and this is the only one I’ve seen done this way. Makes sense.👍

Thanks for the vid. I ride fixed since 2006 and never loosened the cog this way! It works great. thanks again!

Omg. Great trick I will use as I'm doing very same thing but adding 19 as I live in hilly area..just made Uber fun street fighter with risers.
Depending on how torqued on it is. This trick works. Sometime it just takes a couple quick pops.
Nice...😊
Did you have to add any chain links when you went to the larger cog? If so, how many?
i didnt have to add any. There was enough room in the dropouts to make up for the two teeth difference.
Thank you. I'm thinking of adding a bigger rear cog to my bike. BTW, I think I've seen you and your bike in Bennington.
I usually pedal around in the morning. It was probably me.
Im a noob. What did swapping the cog do?
Swapping different size cogs changes the gear ratio. I put a smaller cog on giving me a bigger gear which helps me to go faster overall.
@@albikes8484 awesome. I am thinking of getting this bike in ivory. My city is relatively flat. I want to think less about gears and just ride.
The rear wheel is untrue
Its been trued up since this vid. As i ride it, Im sure ill have to true it again.

@@TheRokko66 I ran Velocity Deep V rims for a long time. Same type of thing. Heavy they may be. But the reliability of the extra weight was worth it.
