Very nice job on a sweet vintage ride
pls gift it to me from Philippines 😢
Rad video!! Killer build!! Great channel 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼💯💯💯🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
Woow, its amazing. I have the same type
Like the presentation, what camera do you use to shoot video
My cell phone! It's a Samsung note ultra.
@DePuesshop I am going to promote your channel next video I put out. Like what you're doing. Samsung never thought it was that.
@@hoosiercycles6595 I really appreciate that!! Thank you soooo much!
Love it reminds me of my paperwork days just needs a front rack
Great episode, i can relate to the Suntour shifting cable problem that came up, i ended up cutting the housing as short as possible to make the cable reach, anyway gotta love the Schwinn bikes from the 80's & early 90's, they didn't skimp on quality back in their Hay Day.
Yes, it was a super nice bike! I like only suntour stuff too!
You must live near a shooting range! Lots of POWS! and POPS! in the background. Anyway, nice work on the Miyata. Japanese steel bikes from the 80's and early 90's are my favorites!
Haha! They we're building a house behind me!
Great tool, sticker way too trumpian.
Surprised your brifters worked with the v-brakes. I used travel adapters with mine and they work great. Kept 3x8 drivetrain.
They didn't really work well. I should have used the adapters. I did on a more recent build. ua-cam.com/video/xUKg62W8PBE/v-deo.htmlsi=FOIq39GOq9ubQgjz
How do you determine what length & rise the stem should be when switching to drop bars?
Honestly, I don't have a scientific method other than sitting on the bike before the switch and estimating where I want the drop bars to be based on the current bars. There's not as much flexibility on reach and rise for a drop set up.
It's always nice to have another tool 🔧 to add to the bottom bracket arsenal 😂! I was able to grab this before it went unavailable on Amazon! Happy New Year 🥳🍻💥🍻 man & thank you for inspiring us with your tips n tricks 😎👍🏽!
I contacted the manufacturer, and they will be sending more. I personally think it's a great tool. Thanks for watching!!
these are my favorite builds !!
I was anti 1x until recently. I saw it as a regression; after all, you're paying the same or more for fewer speeds. Then, something funny happened: I got a bike with a 1x drivetrains. I got a Marin Kentifeld 2 hybrid with a 1x10 Microshift AdventX groupset. It has a 38 tooth wide-narrow chainring up front, and it has a 11-48 Microshift AdventX cassette on the rear wheel. It has 22-96 gear-inch range, which is almost as good as my 3x7 and 3x8 ATBs. Marin chose good gear rations. They work well for my local terrain and my riding style. You know what? I LIKE IT! I never thought I'd say that, but I like the 1x drivetrain on my Marin. Moral of the story is: don't knock 1x drivetrains until you've TRIED ONE!
I totally agree! Most of us don't need the range of a 3x and prefer the simpler 1x.
Hells yes. What was the clear coat you used?
Just some rattle can rustoleum. Haha!
@DePuesshop Wow....and brilliant at that.
Wow this bike is awesome. Love the bmx handle bars
That's an awesome parts washer you have, I've never seen one like that. Where did you get it?
I have a video on the details. Also, there's a link to where you can get one in most of my video descriptions. ua-cam.com/play/PLrGMyQhor5RPeAvcU_I1PACz-hZrUPJEe.html&si=JsqIIqZFiePuQugD
What kind of handle bar grip is that . Do they have other colors?
Those are just some cheap grips I got on Amazon. Check there for lots of selections.
That bike looks timeless. And cool as...
Thanks for the interesting video. First time I see a brake amplifier. It makes the cable looking like a twisted spaghetti noodle into a fork. I'm not sure I like it. That's one more gizmo to maintain... Is it possible to have some other road bike levers that would solve the problem?
The easiest is to use cantilever brakes instead of v-brakes.
@@DePuesshop Ok, thank you!
Nice. Very funny too. Half the comments prefer the 3x7 and the other half the 1x9 or 10. I just bought an old 3x7 Gary Fisher bike. I like the idea to ride it as is. If I don't find it "fun" to ride I'll try as you did. Thanks for the funny and interesting video!
Yes! That's true! No matter what I build, 1x or 3x, there's a bunch of people who prefer the other way.
pretty damn sweet! Glad I found this for some inspiration, Im about to do this with my GT Zum. GT Mallet stem, dyno pretzel bars and a few other things on order, looking at those same SE Landing Gear forks even now!
Beautiful resto. Love the choices you made with this one.
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your support!!
Love it! Love your builds!
Thanks! I hope it inspires others to create their own!
this is art
Nice video! But 11-36 would not have a wider range than 13-40T? Is 13T a limit on those old 7s freehubs?
11 is the smallest on a 7 speed hub.
Excuse me, but for my taste, the bike was beautiful before and you made it ugly.
Been binge watching your channel since I found it a few weeks ago. I love the way you demonstrate as you go. One thing, would you mind going into detail on measuring a chain for the bike. I've watched a few others on YT, and I've not quite got it working for me.
Thanks for watching! I will definitely go into more detail in the future. In the meantime, the Park Tool company has some really good videos on chain length.
Well done. Another beautiful steed back to life.
Really like this build ❤ great job 👍 I would love to know, if this is axle is frame clearance is 130 or 135 mm and how to manage the correct spacing of the bearing and washers on the hub side. I tried the same build with the shimano FH-C 201 and had big issues to find a correct spacing between the freehub bearing and the frame. Unfortunately it didnt wirk out. Do you have any hint?
I have a video with more details that o just released a few weeks ago. ua-cam.com/video/xmH9lC-QJ80/v-deo.htmlsi=LeXgQzTZKWP701-q
Nice tool if you can get it...I used to be anal too, but now I prefer not to screw around with any "special tools". I just use a pipe wrench on the O.D. works every time. So it leaves a few teeth marks, who cares. Works on hollow axle BB's too!
I’ve inserted a wheel quick release into/thru the bottom bracket socket/tool …..it secures the socket to the BB…..then I use a Crescent or Pipe wrench (clockwise) to turn the socket & remove the BB.
Merry Christmas! Really nice builds. I'm doing a GT Avalanche 3.0 adding a Cues 2 x 11. Are those deraileur hanger extenders required for all bigger cassette mods? Might explain why the derailleur hits the 3 or 4 largest cogs on the cassette. Or have I missed something else? I've not seen the extenders mentioned on any videos until this one.
Yes, more than likely, you will need one. I'm finding a few of my older builds with large cassettes are just barely touching, and I had to add an extender.
@DePuesshop thank you. Love what you are doing with old bikes. They still have so much to offer.
Why Not just install a bolt with a thin washer on the original tool and thread it into the bottom Bracket ?
You could do that, but you won't know you need to add a bolt until you already struggled with trying to get it off.
Nice!
This bike is awesome! Great work!
Good looking bike. I like that you kept the original components, especially the cantilever brakes!
Great build but I hate the silent treatment. I want to know why you chose the parts you did. Did that fork have a carbon or alloy steerer tube? Was this a metal or carbon stem in the steerer tube?
I will try to include more commentary in my future videos. Thanks for the feedback!
Amazon says no longer available -- you must have driven them out of stock and then some!
Yikes, Hopefully, they will replenish the inventory soon!
No way to get proper torque, if that's what you want.
You could use this tool for removal and a torque wrench for installation.
Brilliant👍🏻
Extremely handy tool but it would only work with bb axles with internal threads there are some square taper bottom brackets out there with external threads so the tool wouldnt have anything to thread into.
Correct, this is only for internal BBs, but it's one of the most common ones.
Does anyone know, where to buy this in europe (preferably germany)? I searched the internet, but i can't find it.
Try going to www.bikehand.com.
@@DePuesshop Thank you for your reply! I checked out the page and will contact them.
BBB make one with a shorter handle which avoids the issue of hitting the chainstay. I've needed to use a rubber mallet with it to release tight BBs. It works beautifully
Splined bottom-brackets might be fine for racing teams, but like aheadsets and tubeless tyres, are bad design for regular cyclists. My LBS couldn’t even loosen a splined BB for me, breaking off teeth and marring the frame!
Great tool…imo😎Often have problems to open stuck bbˋs, especially those with plastic cabs that will brake before getting loose🙃Thanks for sharing and showing the function in detail🌟🌟🌟
Am working on a diamondback also currently. If your seatpost was a 28.8, which my broken suspension post is. Where did you happen to get yours? Thanks
Mine was a 29.2mm. I got it on Amazon. Here is the link. amzn.to/3BohhyQ
Sharp looking rebuild, well done!
Have one on order! The alignment feature of the bottom bracket wrench is gold.
I just use my impact driver with the 1/2" drive into that silver tool.
Yes, sorted Bro
