    This is exactly what I want. I want to build one bike at the very least in my lifetime.

  • @Kwicksand
    @Kwicksand Před 5 lety +12

    I really hate when people say why build a bike when you buy one. For me it would be very nice and informative to build a bike. That way I would probably learn so much more about how my machine works! yes I can buy a new bike but I would still buy upgrades! that’s what motorbike riders do to create the ride much more comfortable and personal that way to keep the confidence up! nice video and channel!!!

    Appreciate this video and I'm only 12min in. Well done man. Most build videos just show the build with no explanation and I haven't seen any on YT as detailed as yours. Your insight into focusing on what standard you need and measuring have me less apprehensive about doing my dream build. Cheers!

  • @Kadori328
    @Kadori328 Před rokem +6

    Thanks, loads of valuable information!, not just for people that are building fresh, but also for this wanting to replace parts. Some measurements / specs to watch out for are easily overlooked!

  • @dougmaceachern5568
    @dougmaceachern5568 Před 2 lety

    Thanks for the clear and concise explanation for all the bike parts and how they all fit together . The bike build seems much easier after watching you video . Looking forward to watching the build. Thanks again.

  • @arrosconpollo1
    @arrosconpollo1 Před 2 lety +2

    This is a great video! I picked up a late 1990s Canondale F400 and I am excited to tear it down, clean, paint, lube and put back together. I am currently trying to educate myself on the Fatty front suspension that appears to need rebuilding or replacement. This bicycle will be a light trail/gravel bike and I’m excited. Thank you for your content.

  • @christopherharmon9336
    @christopherharmon9336 Před 5 lety +1

    As with all your videos, well done! The advantage to building your own bike-you get exactly what you want. Years ago I built up a steel-frame, Haro 29er hardtail w/X9 components, Avid BB7 mechanical discs and a Tora fork. A little more expensive than buying a bike off the rack, but for me, the bike is perfect. 6 years of riding, and I never regret it.

    Finally I see Exotic components... I've used them for years, and they are great at great prices, but It still seems like an "underground" brand.
    Also they have a brake pad store, with great value/quality.

    I build my first bike as a 12-years old, a cheap Chinese 10-speed with 24" wheels, with the help of my dad. Since then I have always done my own servicing, except for wheel truing, an art I'm beginning to learn. There's nothing like the feel of riding a bike you have built yourself!

    I'm glad I watched this video. I was planning on stripping my bike down and giving it a good makeover. It looks like it has been dumped. It's a used bike and it was on eBay really cheap. Now I know what to do first and that's measure it.

    This is an excellent video. I’m going to build my wife a bike soon, and the biggest thing that I have trouble with with spike work is finding the right parts.
    Excellent community project based off this video, kids putting a little money, or sponsorship/ work programs for broke kids, for parts and a few tools, building themselves their own bike Which would then give them transportation, some accomplishment, and also 3/4 of the way to be able to maintain it as they built it. They would have a good reliable transportation with means of maintaining.
