Welding two bikes into one Tall Mountain Bike (and getting sketchy with it)

It has been some time since we messed around with “Tall Bikes” on this channel, but we have everything we need here to build one. So today, we’ll take two old chromoly mountain bikes and weld them together into a true monstrosity. The goal is to have a wide range of gears, front and rear brakes, and all bearings working smoothly. If we can accomplish all those things it would put this in the top 90th percentile of tall bikes, which by and large omit basic safety features like front brakes.

I've seen tall bikes before. I've seen them in parades, critical mass events, and an odd solo dude on the river trail... But I have NEVER seen one bunny hopped over a log or sent off a ramp off road! Well done Seth! Ha! That was fun.

@drybizcuit1914 Год назад

I never saw him bunny hop a log, still sketch though. Not as sketch as my buddies tall tandem lol.

What looks like a bunny hop at 10:17 is really the same ramp you see ten seconds later. Still pretty sketch on a tall bike.

The sneaky change of the chain tentioner from the back to the frontside of the chainring 🙂

@SethsBikeHacks Год назад

Yep! I realized in this application it would be on the high tension side on the back. It might not have mattered but this will decrease the wear on the tensioner over the long term.

@maxjax9181 Год назад

Hey Seth! I built one in almost the exact same way as you did a few years ago! Mine is sticker bombed and had a tractor seat welded to the front for an extra passenger which helped with the wheelie problem!

@MatthewMachuDidge Год назад

I made a bunch of tall bikes. Best mod is to extend the rear triangle, like a cargo bike. Adds way more stability, and frees up huge mid section for massive cargo loads. I used to haul loads of wood for framing jobs on mine! Other tips: Weld on some pegs down low for steps.

That trek frame looked pretty cool. This is the only video in the last year on this channel that caught my interest.

@byroboy Год назад

It looks like you could swap the middle chainring to the outside, same BCD unlike the smallest. That would reduce the gear reduction and you would keep the clearance.

@Torchedini Год назад

You can also put a few spacers in to prevent rubbing. When I messed with adding motors to bikes I put about 2KW through chainrings spaced out by 10mm and they were fine.

@Kefir0 Год назад

The tensioner was on the wrong side at first, I'm glad you fixed it :) Those tall bikes are super fun to ride, and easier than it seems at first!

@TheLando258 Год назад

Seth, you've made many great videos that have helped me understand bikes, helped my mindset on the trails, made me a better rider, and provided me with plenty entertainment along the way. However, this is my favorite video you made! Love to see you tinker, be genuine, capture high quality shots and still send it! Thank you for sharing.

@aasimmons Год назад

Seth, if you do another one, leave the rear triangle and rear wheel of the top bike and have that wheel spin via a chain from the lower cassette and then the upper wheel can spin and do some other (TBD) job like power a small generator that would in turn power some lights and a spinning disco ball. Or whatever, just go nuts and have fun doing it!

@a.j.oplinger2106 Год назад

@GingerBeardMan_ 11 месяцев назад

You got this! I lost a good 30-40 lbs riding my bike every day after work. Stationary bikes at home or at the gym work well to start too, especially the recumbent ones where you have back rest. Personally, I started out with a comfy seat on my bike, rode 15min, gradually increased the rides over time, your tailbone gets used to bike seats and you gradually introduce the more streamlined saddles. It's a lot of fun to ride and you can absolutely lose weight along the way. Just stay consistent and don't worry if you miss a day, just make sure you get back to it and dont let one or two bad days derail your progress. I'm rooting for you!

I was thinking it would also help to use a large frame bike on the bottom, especially for us short riders who will need smaller geometry on the top. Maybe a little gusset for wherever the top BB ends up.

welding tip for the staerer tubes. if the frame is made out of steel, put a aluminum tube that fits true them. it wont weld together and that way you don't need to measure as much

Hey Seth! 2:53 you can see that you mark the front of the threads instead of the back to make the cut. then by the next scene you weld it at the end, making it longer then you wanted by the length of the piece you welded on.

Instead of water bottles in the bottom triangle, you should put weights to keep it on the ground. Be careful. If you let someone heavier than you ride this, they might flip the bike backwards.
