  • Ride along as we build this artisanal lugged steel track frame from a local builder into this clients urban runabout. After a paint refresh we build this modern classic up with a 3 speed internally geared hub.

    Nice choice with the Tange headset, not only they are great quality, they provide pretty detailed info about their parts , also they are not Chris king pricey hehe
    Also, thank you for that tip about the dust seal notch 👍

      Yes. Agreed. I really like supporting the old Japanese brands that keep putting out high quality products at decent prices. Someone mentioned the stem and headset and that sparked the same conversation during the premiere.

    Might I suggest cutting 1 inch strips of an old tube and sliding them up the fork so they sit between the rack clamp and that nice paint job.

    • @TheUndeadMechanic
      @TheUndeadMechanic  Před 22 dny +1

      Not a bad idea. These clamps have a rubberized coating on the clamping surface so the paint is protected but yes an inner tube could provide even more bite without harming the paint.

    the casual rider will be in all sorts of frustration when his rear tire goes kaput and he wants to change the tube

      Yes, that's definitely a drawback for the IGH for the general consumer. For that reason exactly I usually encourage a good tire with antipuncture belt to help avoid the frequency of those occurrences.

      @@TheUndeadMechanic I have no experience with IGH so far but I assume most of the hassle stops with the less cool option of vertical drops, no hub brake and a chaintensioner?

      @oreocarlton3343 The coaster brake is the main hassle really. And that's on a single speed coaster as well. Other than that the pull chain is easily separated, replaced and adjusted. The weight is also an issue though.

      Ha, good read. I had mentioned that exactly to the client, but the client is fixated on adapting a brompton bag😅

    have you deliberatly not greased the thread on the steerer since the HS is prone to looseing? Why havent you put a bit of grease on the HS bearings where they contact the cups? Respectfully.

    • @TheUndeadMechanic

      For the threads on the streer I would consider it a good habit. Grease only if you don't have some anti-seize. I didnt in this case because this headset had already been mounted on this streerer and had a layer of grease going. On the headset bearings I've seen manufacturers that strictly advise to not grease and have pulled apart many BB and headsets from factory that aren't greased so I determined that in theory grease is for friction of moving parts. The outer and inner races are not supposed to move. If the race is moving inside the cup that easily you have an issue and grease will not fix it so basically the grease is irrelevant. Also the grease usually works its way out of the bearing anyway so it's auto greased🤣

      @@TheUndeadMechanic interesting take on non greasing the sealed bearing, doesn't the option of non greasing often result in sized bearings like in hubs? I'm assuming that greasing the outer race won't result in the bearing spinning on it since in a working bearing there is less friction between inner and outer race than between greased outer and a bearing cup...the advice against greasing outer races might be there to not contaminate the bearing seals or OEM bearing grease?

    • @TheUndeadMechanic
      @TheUndeadMechanic  Před 22 dny +1

      @oreocarlton3343 just to be clear, it's the cup to outer race interference that I do not grease and I have had only one instance were the race had seized to the cup. And in that case the oxidation was all over regardless of the where the grease was because this bike was oitside by the ocean. If I were in a salty tropical climate I may do otherwise.
