I'm not a bike mechanic, I'm just playing one on youtube. I filmed this over 3 weeks by myself in my garage. This is my second bike build from the frame up, but I've been wrenching on my own bikes for years. In this video, I put my Surly Bridge Club dirt/touring/bikepacking/ATB rig together from the frame up. Enjoy! Please leave comments below to let me know how I did. I'm sure I screwed something up, and I love feedback to help me improve.

@seraphan6 4 месяца назад

Use what works for you, but maybe fancy cleaning supplies aren't necessary. Try simple mineral spirits for your solvent (cheap, effective, low environmental impact) and basic dish soap for washing (with a little help from a citrus-based degreaser if you need it).

@pedallinraw 3 месяца назад

SURLY 🤘🏻….Only advice i can give is before assembly would have been a good idea to block up all the holes then fill the frame with a pint of boiled linseed oil for rust prevention! turn the frame around letting it flow everywhere then just drain and let dry … nice build though …i’ve an Ogre 🙂👍🏻

@mattdesmondwashere 3 месяца назад

I did use frame saver on this frame. The inside is also ED coated, so it's pretty much going to last forever. Thanks for watching!

@Manetty6 3 месяца назад

Dude, I'm literally impressed. Building such a hipster bike and you didn't made those crappy mistakes. Like: shitty, facking: expensive cable brakes, bar end shifters, 3 or 2 front chainrings, old derailleurs with extension link, tubes and ofc facking NKS pedals.

@imstillhereileft7530 13 дней назад

I watched it twice already, beautiful build , gave an idea how to upgrade mine , btw , how much this it weigh? Cheers

@mattdesmondwashere 13 дней назад

Hi. The bike without racks and bags is 27.5 lbs. With all bottles and racks and bags shown in video 4 but no contents is 39.7 lbs. I have not fully packed it for a big trip yet, but am looking forward to that.

@SeventhTenant 4 месяца назад

Great build, bike turned out amazing, congrats! Myself I wouldn't go for XTR as I'm not a racer and they are simply not cost effective, I always choose XT. But yeah XTR has this wow factor. Funny you chose some cheep shimano rotors that can be used only with resin pads and may be detrimental to XTR callipers' performance.

@mattdesmondwashere 4 месяца назад

This was definitely not a budget build. If I was doing that, I’d get a stock complete build and just change a couple of parts out. The xtr’s are 4 piston and came with resin pads, they will be fine and probably overkill for my use. I wanted big brakes for loaded touring which is why I went 180mm front and rear. I feel like the rotors are not going to make a difference. I just always wanted XTR and yeah, probably not the best for longevity or durability.

@victorrenaud7942 3 месяца назад

I just watched the all serie : GREAT JOB !! Thanks a lot ! There is one question that troubles me in this perfect built : why not silver hubs ? :o

@mattdesmondwashere 3 месяца назад

Sadly, Velocity doesn't make those hubs in silver, only black. I was on a timeline to get this bike done and they were the best option.

@louis8848 3 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing! I just curious why did you wash the new chain but not keep the original grease?

@mattdesmondwashere 3 месяца назад

The cosmoline stuff that comes on the chain is super sticky. It causes grime to build up and eventually get into the rollers. It makes the chain hard to clean. Once removed, I either wax the chain or am always trying out different lubes. I like the finish line ceramic a lot. I always wipe the excess off.

@garyburchgb 2 месяца назад

Are you intending to fit pannier racks at some point? I would have set it up with a rohloff and speed drive, platform pedals with reflectors, and extraterrestrial tyres. I would have a son 28 dynamo hub with andra 40 rims and son edelux 2 lights.. A cane creek suspension post, trx gel saddle, genetic butterfly bars with humpert long grips designed for the humpert bars. Chris king headset, mudguards, tubus fat rack on the rear with home made " u" brackets for clearance for a surly trailer hitch, and a surly nice rack upfront. Trp cable disc brakes with 180 or 203mms rotors if the fork would allow. (.I would make an adapter for the rear brake if one was not available) mated to Shimano 3 finger levers. I would fit 3 bottle cages and a lezyne pump. I noticed the frame has a mount for a ks18 kickstand so I would fit a plestcher stand and a hebie centre stand. (Surly trucker stand mounts can be adapted for this). I would have kept the full length steerer tube and used stackers. Aside from that, I like the frameset colour but would have the components in black.

@mattdesmondwashere 2 месяца назад

Sounds like you have it all figured out. Looking forward to seeing that.

@X_TUDO Месяц назад

Greetings from Brazil! I want to buy the same frame but here in Brazil we don’t have…

@ringo666 4 месяца назад

When did we start lubing/greasing square tapers? That used to to be verboten in bike building. Nobody did it 20+ years ago....

@mattdesmondwashere 4 месяца назад

Not sure that it matters either way, but when 2 dissimilar metals go together, I like to lube them a little bit to reduce the probability of seizing. Tightened to the right torque specs, grease or no grease, there shouldn’t be any issue of deformation or loosening. I retorqued them after the first ride (as is recommended) and will keep an eye on them. Thanks for watching!

@nohandle641 Месяц назад

I'm considering building a BC. It's my first build. I'm a little hesitant because of the lack of thru axles. Is QR a problem or dangerous?

@mattdesmondwashere Месяц назад

Not at all. Just hard to find pre-built wheelsets. If you buy hubs and rims separately, it’s easier to get a wheelset together.

@keumalacmhl8574 3 месяца назад

I am a short person (only 5 4''), which bridge club frame' size is right/ best for me?

@mattdesmondwashere 3 месяца назад

I’m 5’7 and the medium fits me well. I’d say a small would fit you, but it’s always best to try one out at a local bike shop for fit if you can. That’s what I did, then ordered the frame in my size to build it out.

I wasn't sure on the BB width, and the UN300 is inexpensive to swap out to test chainlines with and very available locally.

Why using steel and heavy bike when lighter and cheaper alternatives available

@mattdesmondwashere 3 месяца назад

Weight is not everything. Steel is durable and can be repaired easily unlike Aluminum or carbon fiber. It’s also much less expensive. This bike is not even heavy at 27.5 lbs. without racks. I have lighter bikes and this one is just as enjoyable to ride. In fact, I like it much more than the carbon Cutthroat that I used to have.
