Hey everyone! *Small wheel gang unite* 💪 bit of a weird folder today, but hope you like it! Some cool parts, handy mods and nice long wheelies to cap it off. See you in another video in the next couple weeks, Kona is up next 🫡 💓
That goose neck stem looks perfectly matching for bike of such size. I will consider this example for my mini or folding bike build in future. Thanks ❤️
Man i got to work up the courage to modify the bb on one of these 20s. A twenty ride always puts a smile on my face. Ive fixed up 6 or so for friends over the year's
Hey Toasty😉really cool build🌸😎because of my smaller size I like the 20th much and be proud to own some 20 and 24 inch ones😃my oldest one is a single speed, really rusty over the decades. I took it apart about 30 years ago, rebuilt it, painted it black and called it „little black one“☺️it’s still running and actually pulls a little trailer on local cleanup days! Excited what’s coming up next, cheers👋🏻
Hey! Thanks so much 🥹🤙 I love the smaller wheels, even at my height they’re so much fun! 😆 the little black one sounds like a great bike, thanks for sharing 👍 I should try my trailer behind the Raleigh20 sometime 😍 Thank you, see you in the next one!
Tidy job, very innovative. Love a folding bike I do - they might make you look like a circus clown but you're the one laughing when you can just hop on the bus or the train with it. Growing up in England in the nineties, Raleighs were everywhere.
This bike has to be one of the quirkiest project you have done. You have turned a naff machine into something attractice and interesting. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed watxhing
Incredible. Thank you so much for this video. It has inspired me to modify an old Riley folding bike I have for a travel. didn’t realise I’d have so much to consider though with Paul bracket et cetera.
I didn’t know they were worth that much 😆 I’ll be replacing them soon with some Dia-compe Mx2’s so I can have matching levers 👌 Might put them up for sale once I swap them 😆
HOW DARE YOU! How DARE you DESTROY such a RARE CLASSIC amazing bike. It was a MASTERPIECE before you DESTROYED IT!! Sorry just had to get that in before the crazies get here. Great job Ad. I’ve still got mine stashed away that I did exactly the same mods to a year or so ago 😂 The fork is a good idea though because fuck Raleigh standards and the shitty long reach brakes!
Hahaha Mark here representing the angry British purists 😂👌 love it. Thanks heaps mate! The fork was a big bonus, gives plenty of tyre clearance too. The roller brake sort of made the V up front redundant as it works so well, only on long or steep decents I really needed the front brake. Happy to have it there for those times, bloody strong brake 👌 those long reach brakes can go to hell! Disc convert one 👀
Sweet build, Bro. Respect. I am a big fan of Morrison's N.Z. Raleigh 22" H frame shopper. Lovely racks back and front! I also have 2 x BSA 18"s and a Sun 20" of the same design, altho none fold. All have S/A 3 speeds with original Brooks leather saddles on the English ones. Really cool urban bikes in my town with few hills. Cheers.
Hi toasty, if the little window in the hub is worn, you can turn the bike over. all Shimano hubs have two indicator metal pins that need to align too. They’re coloured either red or yellow aswell.
That’s what I go for! Jank with some practical/usable upgrades 👌 gotta keep it safe enough to rip around on and neglect for a while too, as it tends to happen. Haha only on a Raleigh20 would a roller brake be a huge needed improvement! 😆 thanks for watching!
6:50 ouch. just the tip take some off just for the Hell of it. I approve. lets go for 69mm thanks for all the shout outs. XD 10:30 I have a Rockhopper in about that exact color here beside me... Violet Grey 94 I think
How is this holding up mate? We've got one of these hanging out in the workshop & I've been thinking about how useful it would be to have an airport bike lately. Looks like a great option for gentle riding.
It’s holding up well, highly recommend it! Don’t go too crazy $$ wise until you ride it though. They handle just fine, yet to compare it next to a Dahon (picking up a Classic Stainless version next week). But it’s really useful for me I think, and the fold hinge feels sturdy when riding 👍 I’ve done many wheelies and some light gravel/offroad tracks on it too(no hard drops though) and it’s been great.
You keep showing impossible conversions. That BB cut is amazing. I still remember how you converted a 12-speed with an old Deore shifter. Please make a video of that.
