Nice find Gary! That “exclusive tubing” is the genuine article. Miyata began by making rifles and used that tech in bike tubes. I recently acquired 8 Miyatas from a very passionate collector. All solid bikes!
@garysprojects
@garysprojects Год назад
Whoa!!! That is crazy I never new that! Thanks for sharing I think the CMX was double butted from that year and there was the higher tubing that was triple butted. Either way miyata made great bikes!
@martinlum7166
@martinlum7166 Год назад
During the pandemic, I dusted off my old Miyata 618GT. Serial # begins with "RA..." which means the chromoly triple butted frame was built in 1989. Surprisingly this touring frame has similar geometry to modern gravel bikes. Front fork has 46mm clearance & rear clearance of 56mm. I'm using 700 x 32 tires. I have space to upgrade it to become a modified AllRounder. It's a 3x (48 38 28) with a 6T cassette 14-32. So good for hill climbing. Limitations are its downtube shifters and cantelever brakes. I tried it out on some our local bike trails...recommended for full suspension bikes. Not easy shifting with downtube shifters and the cantilever brakes are not as responsive as disc brakes. I'm encouraged to rebuild and outfit my Miyata into a gravel bike. Thanks for your inspiring video.
@garysprojects
@garysprojects Год назад
Awesome those are very good frames 👍👍 the wide range is great for touring for sure. I actually don’t mind downtube shifters and canti rakes , but if you doing more aggressive downhill, could switch em out to vbrakes! Cheers man enjoy the bike!

Nice build and given the overall little wear and tear it was worth restoring as many parts as possible, also to keep it low budget. Yet I would have upgraded to maybe a 3x7 STX or LX groupset combined with Shimano RSX brifters, these parts are easy to source and still come at a reasonable budget. They are lighter, perform better and altogether bring the whole build to another level.
@garysprojects

@@garysprojects One of my favorite things about a triple is when you're cruising along in the middle ring up a steady climb and it suddenly gets harder, you can drop a lot of gear inches in a nanosecond by going to a smaller ring up front instead of coaxing the chain onto a pie plate in the rear.

Old vid but still might help someone, get an ugly 15mm wrench and give it an angle on the box end similar to the closed end, then you can use your foot as leverage to hold the pedals still and apply torque to the nut, i haven't seen an actual pedal wrench with a kink like that so it might exist already

Take an awl and poke a little hole on the pedal dustcaps. Pop them out and shove grease in the pedal cavities, fill the caps and push them back on. Grease should come out the back. Now they will go like flies after a ride to move it around.

Thank you for articulating your methods and reasons step-by-step for tearing down a bike. The "why" is so much important than the "how" that is easily covered in demonstrative videos like this one. Perhaps I missed it but did you cover why you moved the shift gears to the stem and the brake levers to the drops?
@garysprojects
@garysprojects Год назад
Cheers brother I appreciate that! I moved brake levers to the drops because that would be the most often used hand position when riding, the most comfortable for me. (On the hoods) Gears went to the the stem for easy access, alternatively I could have use bar end shifters or brifters but what I ended up with was the most cost effective Cheers!

I’d avoid smoove in the cables, if you can find tri flo, it’s a much better cable lube, the smoove is wax based for chains and can gum up inside the cables, tri flo has ptfe which lowers the friction inside the cables as well as keeping them protected

@thomaseisen304
@thomaseisen304 Год назад
Baiscly you don't need any special lube or grease when it got a teflon liner in it , if you wanna lube it just use graphite powder...if you don't have that at home use a pencil because it's also made of it ... it's great also for protection because its water repellent . I'm always a bit careful, because many people promise so much about their products, but in the end they stick the brake or gear cable more than anything else and especially on older bikes where the springs are a bit weak after all those years it cause a lot of trouble. Have fun mate !

I guess on a scientific level, wd40 breaks the aluminum foil down so it fills the holes in the steel and chromo parts. It can scratch things up a bit but over all I’ve been very pleased with the results I’ve gotten restoring old stems and seatposts.

Hey Gary your work is great brother keep it up and there is a difference between cantilever and v-brakes, cantilevers are longer then v-brakes v-brakes are way stronger and can use short or long brake levers with no matter what but cantilevers you truly need longer brake levers with but can get by with either in a pinch to get the bike going I worked in a bike shop for a few years think about it lol a bicycle wheel the way it's set up is like a disk brake any way lmao just parts are in a different order and different names of stuff really keep up the great work I'm starting a channel myself soon doing the same thing with bikes and everything else people want or request

For the gear cable in the back you should use a inch of gear cable housing and then zip tire it in place for additional guaidance.

ugh, 200GS groupset was the worst - had it on my first mountain bike (Trek 800). all steel with plastic cladding. plastic derailleur disintegrated when it got mud in it. amazing it came on a $760 USD bike (when adjusted for inflation - $350 originally).

Ahhh that’s too bad ! it is a lower group-set, but seems pretty solid so far! Built like a tank haha

use plastic wrap over the filler to smooth as much as you want without messing it up

quite perfect job, man! The result is great, I´d love to go for a ride with it! I see a lot of builds with those Maxxis tires which look cool af, but aren´t they a bit to fat for an easy ride in the city? Now I have to quit work and sneak into my basement to work on some bikes :-)
@garysprojects
@garysprojects 2 месяца назад
Cheers man I appreciated that ! The fat tyres you get used to but aren’t too bad because they are pretty fast rolling. Also with the fat tyres you get a bit more cushion for riding around , overall I like that 👍

MaxxisvDTH are great tires. I can only fit 2.15 on my 1986 mountain bike I turned into a “gravel” bike with Jones bars.

I restore these old 1980-1990s mountain bikes but don't know how anyone makes money doing it. Lol I usually end up being $300 to $400 into the project which prices it out of the my market. Nice build.
