Ollie does a good job holding back the tears while spinning that crank
at least it's good for his core workout :)
love the shout out for Sheldon Brown, the man was a hero.
Indeed,the late Sheldon Brown was a respected figure.
Pity that we all aren't able to see him today.
And a funny guy as well!
Good for you Ollie- knowing Sheldon Brown and giving him the Shout Out! His site has helped me immensely over the years.
Hambini Wins again.
HELLO HAMBINI FANS AND WELCOME!!!!!!
Threaded BB not spinning freely?????? Shocking. Shocking to even a 5 year old.
A dyslexic 5 year old french child
@@LucaBonato child is not the first c word i thought of
@@saturnioowens6546 educational and full of curse words, just as I like it.
I unsubscribed from that guy a while ago, shame I still see this crap now anyway. Deeply unprofessional.
I'm loving this series because it gives me ideas for what to do with my son who loves his bike and tinkering with all things mechanical. I'm going to look around for a used Tri bike that he can build up as an engineering project that rides.
Loving the series chaps!
Loving these videos! As soon as the notification popped up for this it was a quick celebration, run to the kettle and now sit and watch for 15mins of comfort and head nodding as I pretend that I will soon try and replicate this haha awesome content man!
**most anticipated video of 2020**
Glad to see my recommendation of a rotor aero front ring, nice.
Love this series. It would be awesome to see a challenge between presenters to build a bike on a budget.
Coincidentally I'm also putting new chainrings + chain on my FSA crankset today.
As a fellow TT guy this series is awesome. Love the reference to Sheldon, he was brilliant.
Lol, had a chuckle when Ollie was installing the 54t ring, just had that on my P1, I have switch it out to a 56t 1x11 set up
So.far it's like I am watching myself do the same things to my P1, lol
Totally jealous of that giant Park toolbox full of goodies! Great series.
For someone who chats on alot about being a tough Yorkshire bloke a hat and jumper inside!?! Love the video series- looking to start time trailing myself and so good to get an indication of what to look at!
Always amazed how much I can learn from Ollie. Even if i have a generel idea how to do things, these tricks and hacks are amazing.
I love this series, it inspired me to buy an old TT bike and do my own budget build
works beautifully
I love this series!!!
The best series on GCN!
Yesh, been looking forward to this one
Loving this series of videos and the bike looks mint!
this is great!!! Every time I watch this remind me why do I need a $5000 bike!!! thank you
Ah British summer the rain gets warmer
"It's spinning pretty well"
Man, that thing has no inertia at all. My touring bike with a 10⏠bb spins better than that.
Hahaha classic cervelo, probabaly isn't even in alignment!!!
Hambini's sitting somewhere making the "Mister Burns-Excellent" sound and tapping his fingertips.
Yikes. My heart stopped as Ollie pulled internally routed cables out of the frame without leaving any sort of guide. A mistake you only make once đą
Fantastic Sunday viewing there Ollie!! Did you say what tooth size was your new ring and will you be showing us how to service the cranks/BB???
I thought Ollie was tired or on lockdown anxiety medication, or maybe just super chill, because he was talking very slowly in this vid, then I realised he was on 0.75x playback. Changed it to 1x and he went full Ollie agasin.
Great series! Wish you had done a TT before all the mods, couldâve seen the time difference once you had finished
How to build a TT bike on a budget:
1. Buy a TT bike that works fine
2. Spend money replacing things that didn't need to be replaced
The majority of these upgrades don't make sense if you're on a budget. The plastic disc fairing, latex tubes, and Squirt lube all make sense for a budget series. The brakes, bigger chainrings, and different aerobars are way too much money for the gains you get, even if you got a good deal. Ollie, your viewers would be way better off buying a skinsuit and aero helmet than "upgrading" the aero bars.
When he spins the cranks all I can hear is "Hellooooooooooo Hambini fans!".
...because every budget builder has some carbon extensions and aerocoach elbow cups just sitting around... Looking forward to how you set up the stem position, it needs some slamming! (OK, slamming is bad, it needs the correct Pad XY)
My favorite tech series
Would you slam the stem and get some stack extensions for the bars? Like new TT bikes setup. They are pretty cheap to make if made in aluminium
Iâm liking this guyâs content.
Brill series this Ollie đđ»
Looks great! Donât paint it. Love these videos, you learn a lot of maintenance tips and tricks along the way.
Ollie Ollie Ollie Oi Oi Oi!! Nice job.
Ollie you having a bad lockdown hair day again đđ Great video though loving this bike build
Sheldon Brown has saved us all at one point hasnât he? đ€Ł
cool video!
I agree I want to see a wind tunnel rest of a standard shimano crank vs an aero crankset or shimano crank with âaeroâ chairing.
A Cervelo with tight BB bearings, who'd have thought it.
ted n ruth Hambini is having a laugh now.
Isn't it a standard 68mm threaded bearing cup though? It's not BBRight.
@@mikeymike1792 yeah, it just shows that even threaded bb is not the solution to everything...
Alloy frame, so it's likely the bb from overtightened cranks.
Great stuff, Ollie. Could you give us a 'total' of what you've spent? Look forward to seeing how she performs, compared to the ultra-expensive stuff.
I don't even have a normal Road Bike yet, but you make ne want to build my own TT on a budget
Iâve never before seen someone sitting on a living room chair while doing a bikebuild đđ
Love it
love this videos
You might want to take a look at the elbow pads again. It just looks like a lever waiting to get whacked(down, rather) out of position when you hit a pothole or or any dodgy road surface.
Good video! Since the cables are exposed, you should go 1x to save watts, it's free speed
Cables are so small that it would save less than half a watt...
I really like your video đđđ
Why setup the Tri-bars, when they are connected to the base bar youâll be replacing?
Cervelo f****d up even with bsa bb, gorgeous.
Btw other youtubers, like bike builder's, hide this from viewers. When they install cranks, most likely builder won't spin them.
Chain length is surely better and more bespoke by putting chain on small ring and second or third smallest sprocket. Then have it as long as you can while the rear mech still takes up the slack. That way you'll have the longest possible (and least friction) chain while still able to use all gears you're likely to (never using small X small combo).
Confirmed: Ollie has a solid ring.
Wow that crank! My bike is like I believe 30 years or so (of the era of downtube shifters an first gen capag super record mixed with shimano why đ but I guess I have to couse my wheel has a shimano hub). The cranks spinned like 30 times on one push or so. Sooo smooth. By the way I do not know the bike brand becaise I got it second hand some years ago and there was no brand on it that I could see (only a sticker with columbus tubing). And I know the wheels are hand made and maybe the frame also? (It had onece probably all campag on it I believe (besides the cassete because of the shimano hub).
I would be sad with such a bad BB...
Could you do a comparison in which you ride your local 10 mile flat out on your actual TT bike, your new Cervelo and your Pinarello/Orbea with clip on aero bars. Iâd enjoy seeing this to give me an idea of the times which are possible as canât decide whether I need a TT bike or whether my venge with clips would do to be competitive. If you could go sub 20 mins on all of them for example then Iâd know I canât blame my equipment ... THANKS!! Xxx
You make my sundays
Shoii Hui PD have ridden the bike as you bought it to give a real baseline. However probably not allowed at the time. Dang. Would have been a great comparison.
Shocking BB here, on a side note my second hand carrera MTB has a square taper BB that would put Hambini's to shame
I had a quick link snap a few years back. I donât use them anymore
I would like to ask, if it possible to create use a tt frameset with normal handalbars and use tt cockpit later. What do you think? As far as I us my bike daily, but I don't want to ride a triatlon on a rebound road bike. Thanks in advance!)
do you have to move the shifter thingy since you put a bigger crankset?
Ollie is now part of the Cervélo test team!
Hi Oli! Where did you get your extensions from? they look super nice!
So will it help you beat George on the ACC Zwift evening 10?
Love this video series but I do wish I knew what the cost of this build is? Your not saying what the parts are costing? I hope you do this in the end. Nice job!
whats the teeth number on the outer and inner chainrings? looking to match an inner to a 56T outer. 40/42?
Didnât you have to move the front mech up because of the larger ring?
Looks like he adjusts it at 4:05
Yeah that bb needs fookin' replacin'! I think my favourite thing about these vids are the outtakes at the end. So relatable. I lost the bottom end of a compression plug down me steerer the other day and thought UGH I GOTTA GET THE STEM OFF AND THE HEADSET CAP OFF AND DROP THE FORK OUT RAAA got halfway with that before i realised i can just tip the bloody thing on its back wheel and give it a little shake. Bloody idiot...
Did you do anything to the bottom bracket now?
does that method for measuring the chain also work with oversized pully wheels or any other pully wheel?
Logic would say add another link or 2
How much bigger is the new chainring? 53?
You need to get #Hambini bottom bracket :-)
There goes the budget....
Ollie baby, you should try for another hour record, on your budget TT bike this time. I would love to see how you faire :)
olli: "just take these 120$ carbon arm rests out of your part bin.."
**me looking at my part bin full of old ultegra/xt parts, stems, alu bars etc.**
dear Ollie, how many teeth the chainring RotoR have? Thanks
The new extentions he is putting on, anyone knows what they are and where to buy?
Jeez, how cold is it really in the UK?! Hoodie, beenie, gloves?! I'm over here with the A/C on sweating just looking at Ollie.
Sounds like he's got a stuffy nose too
"spinning well"??? What are you smoking? That is terrible. That would be bad even if there was a chain on the bike along with a cassette.
Anyone got an idea what TT-extensions those were?
Couldn't Ollie rotate the old clip-ons to put his hands in his desired location? Or do the armrests end up in the wrong angle/placement?
You need loctite red thread locker on those bolts! Seriously!
imagine selling your old bike online and then see it becoming a super bike
what are the specs of this new chainring? thanks!
Hope youâre still checking comments-did you have to adjust the front derailleur up with a larger chainring?
I told you in Ep 1 that that MegaExo BB is crap. "Mega Exo" as in "Mega Expense o' Watts."
Enjoyed the vid, whatâs with the beanie indoors Ollie #lockdownhaircutgonewrong?
I just bought a new gold KMC chain for my bike, and I want to use dry lube for it, since I only ride in the dry, and want the chain to attract less dirt.
Do I need to degrease the chain before I mount it, and then apply the dry lube, or should I keep the factory grease on?
Degrease your chain. Stock grease isn't really good as a lube, it's mainly for preventing rust during storage
Whilst its great you're using old parts from your drawer - many of us don't have appropriate spare parts, and its (slightly) misleading to give a total price when parts were already available to you (particularly when an aerocoach pad set is quite expensive).
However - Glad to see GCN showing more lower cost information, particularly at a time when more people are joining the sport. The 10k superbikes are nice to ogle, but so far outside anyones price range it's ridiculous!
Ha, yes, I got flashbacks to Hambini's "budget" build where everything added to the bike was bespoke custom machined. Overall I'm liking the GCN version better, more down to earth for us commoners.
True, just like the front brake he got cheaply from Xavier in the last episode. I can build a budget bike when I get all the good stuff second hand from 'my mate Tom' who happens to work for Shimano.
Building any bike on the cheap is a compromise of parts bin, garbage picking, used deals, and bikes sold for salvage. As well as using take-offs from other upgrades on another bike.
Of course none of this applies if someone is just buying their first bicycle and they decided to get into this aspect first, bypassing a normal road or all-terrain bike. But in that case they'd probably be best served just getting a simple steel or alloy track fixie to learn the basics with in a velodrome.
tl;dr this is an n+1 build not a beginner build
@@MrKevinWhite When Belinda gives Hambini a lemon, he makes lemonaide. The proper solution would have been to replace the fork, but there's no fun for him in that lol.
I actually like his solution. Given that it's now out there it means that anyone interested in doing so (IE to keep a rare or customized fork usable) they can now have a path forward to DIY it or have a similar part made by a local machineshop.
@Bas Bakker It's not a necessity, but at least it gives a genuine cost indication.
Ollie sounds a lot more Yorkshire these days!
At this point in the presentation, I am sad that Ollie's cranks don't really spin. Hopefully, the aero gains make up for that.
Dude...Ollie
You should have tested it before all the upgrades and than do it again( although wind could have played a big part )
Im waiting every week for a new update
Remove your seals and grease from your bottom bracket as well as your wheels and that will make a difference big time. That crank has ZERO movement Ollie. Looking good though!
Etap etap yes yes
No mad scientist hair today :(
I cant find a rotor like that, anyone can help.
Sheldon Brown fukin knows...
