The Jagwire links are creaky, I've used them in the past because they were lightweight but they become annoying after a while. I agree on the coloured housing, it makes it look front heavy. It's funny to see tour bikes at 7.5 kg with top of the line components and a steel bike dipping below 7kg on a limited budget. Very nice build, looking forward to the upgrades.

Thats a dope looking saddle. Only thing is that it doesnt have a pressure relief channel. When i was riding a saddle without one before i was getting some 🫣 numbness.

@omen.b.4176 Год назад

You got some really nice bikes there:) But there are two things I would consider changing: with the first being a setback seatpost, as your saddle seems to be setup on the "edge" of collapsing, especially if its a carbon railed one. And the second thing would be the inconsistent setup of your handlebars and shifters over the many different bikes you have. The bdhu-police from lfgss might be coming for you if you leave them like that;)

I love it! Ive recently built up a steel trek fast track 470 from 1997. Have a look a Cannondale hollogram SI cranks, i think they are a bit lighter than the shimano one i think. Instead of tubeless you could try some ride now super light inner tubes (probably lighter than the sealant).

@klein-concept Год назад

Hey Matt, thank you. The Trek looks like a lovely frame. Congrats. I wonder if it is actually possible to convert it from a threaded to a threadless headset. Do you know? Thanks for the tip with the lightweight tubes. As there are around 50g of sealant in each wheel you are right that these tubes would be lighter. Great gram to price performance 🤜🤛 Will also have a look at the hollogram.

I have done this on a few bikes even making a touring/ commuter bike have disc brakes in the front. By getting a 1" threadless fork with disc brake tabs and a threadless headset. The disc brakes in the front work great for consistent stopping in wet and muddy environments.

Verdienst die subs, weiter so, vielleicht die Musik noch 6db leiser, damit man dich besser versteht. Ich bin schon so lange immer mal wieder auf der Suche nach einem guten retro mtb Stahlrahmen, aber Größe XL schließt immer schon so viel von Anfang an aus und manche Verkäufer sind einfach nur unverschämt was die Preise angeht. Scheint echt als wäre es deutlich einfacher Rennrad Stahlrahmen zu finden. Und ja hatte mich schon gefragt was das Mastermount für ein Teil ist. Vielleicht baue ich mir so etwas mit dem 3D Drucker nach, 160€ ist leider too much :D

@oril665 8 месяцев назад

Hi, I've already commented here somewhere but I'm unable to find it, so here I go again. In the meantime I've followed your example and fitted the exact same fork to my old steel frame. Since I'm on a budget I've used the FSA Orbit X1 as a headset. My "issue" now is, that the fork flexes quite a lot while breaking, and I mean a lot a lot. At the moment I consider to just put the old steel fork back in and use a thingy which allows me to fit my ahead setup to a threaded fork. All in all my question is, is this flex expected or is the headset maybe faulty or even the fork? I would appreciate some insight.

@klein-concept 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for bringing this up. To be honest i didnt observe any bigger flex in my setup but i also dont have a direct comparison to a steel fork so maybe i just got used to it. Unfortunately i am traveling now and will only be back reunited with my steel bike around end of November to check.

To be honest, i dont really know. Maybe it has to do with emotional attachment. I bought the BMC as a complete bike and have not tweaked it at all myself. It seems pretty heavy for a carbon bike while not really being too aero either (where it would be ok to be a bit heavier). Maybe its the Sram system or the overall geo. I still need to properly analyse why this is the case. As i said maybe it has only to do with the fact that it is not really MY baby but already came fully assembled by somebody else 🫣

@@klein-concept I accept the difference in opinion. Maybe the difference in braking systems is causing it. My Teammachine is the best handling bike I know. And I have ridden quite a few.

Maybe after all those light weight carbon parts fail you'll quit being such a weight wennie and make it a real bike that will take some abuse and last for years.

Hey Charles, i just noticed that this seems to be the weigh how others and manufacturers compare the bike weight. Kind of made sense to me as for me the bike with speedplay power meter pedals will have a different weight than for my friend who would ride it with shimano pedals. Im not really that much of a weight weenie in general but wanted to make it a topic at least on this bike.

@@klein-concept It's all cool. Personally I would like to see steel make a comeback just because carbon fiber is bad for the planet. Same goes for all the stuff running on batteries now but I sure wouldn't want to part with my Di2 shifting.

@@charlesmansplaining i think it is on a good way. Would love to see a couple more brands offering high quality steel but i guess we will get there. And i agree ultimately carbon is made for the bin in the mid term which was one of the reasons why i started looking at steel in the first place even tho i still love a good aero frame 🫣.

I think i might need to as consultant for the next videos 😂😂. Was all but easy spending all of this if you take conversations with the gf into account.

Let's see... the original bike was likely quite cheap. He added an off brand (not Enve, Cadex, Zipp, etc) wheelset. Standard Dura Ace crankset, chain, second hand cassette. Sure, DA is not cheap but it's not bespoke either. Ali Express stem. Fancy post, brakes and bars. The same 1" stem I bought for $179 for my old road bike. He spent a fair amount but he created the bike! He built it up with curated parts. He was deliberate about it and mentioned multiple times he was being cost conscious to some degree. I can guarantee he spent less than a DA equipped off the dealer floor carbon bike. That's what you have, right?

@@petesharp1144 pretty on point. I think overall it should be between 3.5k to 4k Euro. And it really feels mine so it comes with this emotional connection which motivates me to ride it.
