While we wait for the powder coater to work on the GT Pro Performer frame and fork, we get the tires installed on the mag wheels and take a closer look at the parts for it.

Aagghhhh... Those rim strips can be a PITA! I remember dealing with those when I converted my MTB tires over to tubeless. I originally thought I bought the wrong size too cause they were so tight.

Did a similar build 2-3 years ago using a 29. Btw, Eddie had skinwalls on his bike. Not white walls. No need for rim strips on those mags. Btw, Id use the factory GT tires on that build.

@TuesdaysTurn 4 месяца назад

Need the rim strip? Nah, only to cover spoke holes/hardware. The tube will fill into those holes and get pinched, eventually punctured and flat. No holes, not needed! But like you said, if there are some imperfections, it doesn't hurt. If there is anything sharp, you should file that down. I actually had that recently on a GT Pro Series wheel. The bike was JUNK!! I'll probably make a video about it. The bottom bracket shell was irregular on TWO FRAMES. On this bike, make sure the spindle goes through the bearings without any major trouble.

@cruisinginthe808 4 месяца назад

Thanks for those tips! My guess is these bikes may not have the quality control like some other brands? But I have no idea. Weʻll see as we begin to put this together. Thanks always for coming through with the clutch info! 🤙🏻

Add the gyro just for the fun of it!! Looks like a great build! I’m always playing around with gear ratios and when you add the wheel size it changes everything. Would the dia compe v-brake be a better blue to match the rest? I know how you are with legos LOL. Mahalo for the video!! You guys crack me up with the intro and posing for the thumbnail😆😆😆!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

@cruisinginthe808 4 месяца назад

Iʻve been seeing them on IG and want to try out one. My guy in Texas suggested a 39-17 set up for a 26" bike.

@TuesdaysTurn 4 месяца назад

@@cruisinginthe808 I suggest using a gear inch calculator. For a 26" bike with 1.75" wide tire, 39-17 will be around 58 gear inches, which is pretty standard for big bmx (58 to 60 range, easy to pedal). I prefer a little higher so I can pedal faster, but it's harder to pedal that way when riding slower. Good luck!

@EM1FBP2000 2 месяца назад

Seat clamp should be a 28.6mm

@johncarlson2258 3 месяца назад

I don't think you really need the tube tape unless your covering spoke nipples, do you? I ran Skyways for 15 yrs. and never used them. Sence the rims are unusual and retro I think the white walls make the wheels pop better than gum walls would. Love how the GT cranks turned out. I've watched a-lot of bike videos about street riding, which I liked. I've only seen one "unboxing" video, which was dull. You guys are like I'm hanging out in the garage building bikes with my old buddies except you get the best parts and I spend zero $$$' Can't wait to view the next phase of the build.

@StevePhillips-uu6cl 4 месяца назад

Hey this is your interpretation of the Eddie fiola bike and you shouldn’t have to apologize ; it’s your bike and if you and Bernie are happy with it then so be it …… and stick with the white wall it matches just right….

I think the pakalolo was flowing at the start. 😆 j/k Nice parts haul,guys! Too bad the color of the Dia Comps are off. As to the rim tape, I always put some on all my bikes. Better safe than sorry. Not really a fan of the whitewalls as it looks like too much white. But it's your build so whatever you guys choose. Looking forward to the frame soon I hope! I don't mind the long videos. I like watching the longer ones.

@cruisinginthe808 4 месяца назад

Yeah, blue is a hard color to match. Everyone seems to have their own shade when they do their anodizing. Iʻm not sure of the white walls either when I put them next to each other. Weʻll see what they look like when we get this build started. Thanks for the comment about the longer videos! Appreciate you tuning in! 🤙🏻

@davidgipson906 4 месяца назад

That tube that you guys had on that other bike where the stem was so long…Those are for Skyways tough wheels , or wheels like you have there

@cruisinginthe808 4 месяца назад

That is a good point....I did not think of that before. Forgot that mags have that longer stem thatʻs built into the rim. I think I have those on a Monza with regular rims that I could possibly swap out. Thanks for the tip and for watching! 🤙🏻

@@cruisinginthe808 yeah, it’s something about the length of pull out the take up between v brakes and old school. 🐌 it’s like a little snail looking thing and they come in a free colors.

@stephanbelanger305 4 месяца назад

I am pretty sure you will have an issue with those brake levers as sidepull calipers and v-brakes don’t use the same kind of levers. You should use the newer Dia-Compe MX-2 levers which are compatible with both types. Can’t wait to see the build. Cheers from Montreal Canada

@cruisinginthe808 4 месяца назад

That could be a possibility as Iʻve never mixed the two before this build. Iʻm gonna ask around more and I appreciate you bringing that up for us to check out! Appreciate you and thanks for watching! 🤙🏻

@StevePhillips-uu6cl 4 месяца назад

Hey Kevin and Bernie , I’m so glad to see a new video , I’ve been checking…I think this is going to be a great looking GT ; I was hoping I could find out where you found your GT decals for the frame and forks , I’m doing a GT build and after I got my frame powder coated I tried calling GT direct and they said they don’t sell my bike year ( 06’ ) because they were decals buried in clear coat . Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thx again and keep up the fun content…

@cruisinginthe808 4 месяца назад

Hey Steve! Check out BMX Products online. Do a search for that name and they sell a lot of Mongoose stuff but they have a ton of different decal sets for all kinds of bikes. I think you can also request that they do a special colorway too. Let me know if you canʻt find it and Iʻll get a link for you! Thanks for watching another one! 🤙🏻

@cruisinginthe808 4 месяца назад

The old school Skyways could flex if you landed on them hard enough but all the old school freestyle guys like Bob Haro and Eddie Fiola used them all the time. These mag rims should not flex that much or at all with normal riding. We donʻt hit the jumps or anything so I wonʻt be able to test them out that way for you. Sorry about that!
