    Just change the fork and front wheel (maybe the rims too) and it would already be a proper 26“ beginner bmx… The Frame was made for mtb and was also used for downhill back in the days when I remember right, so it should take some hits… At least way better build as the stumpjumper…😅

    Pretty useless build with that wheelset (QR on an bmx or dirt/street MTB is a whole story just for it self why you should not use that but the cheap single wall rims kill it completely) and this solution for the chain tensioning cuz those are both way too weak to do anything more then driving from a to b on this bike… Next to that the Stumpjumper is an alu frame for cross country what are both not the best requirements for an proper BMX bike… At least it looks cool and the frame is slim enough that it looks on first sight like a steal frame but for a 26“ BMX (let us, just for fun, call that a dirt/street mtb) you need in first place another frame, when you didn’t know what you do then could this frame mean a pretty long visit in the nearest hospital in worst case after the first jump… We have those equipment and it didn’t need to be expensive but for this frame I would recommend a streetb*tch in a similar build… Frame and fork are ok I would say but I would take tires with even less Profil and pretty hard for rough using like hookworms, then take an old but still funktional gearshifting set back on it (just in the back), put rings on both sides of the sprocket that the chain can’t jump that fast, and put on back a nice mtb handlebar with a nice rice on it like the mtb dirt/street bars from the early 2000th and put on better breaks with parallel system on it with clear or salmon pats on it especially when you just want to use only this single break (better would be another fork and a second cheap non hydraulic disk for the front, with that the current break would be ok too)… All together you will get a very nice and fast street racer what makes a lot of fun and still have a real use…

    I still have my '93(?) full rigid Aquila, which is bone stock except for head stock/stem(?) raised to eliminate the wrist-heavy riding position of the original setup, a crotch friendly seat for commuting, and new tires. It mostly sits, but recently loaned to my son's friend who was visiting for the weekend to trail ride. He kept up with my son and friends all weekend. The frame is a bit steep on front end rake for my aging body and diminishing balance, but it is sweet to look at. Thanks for the video, I will have to check out a set of front forks that would make commuting easier for me.

    Does anyone have a CUES 9-speed cassette that they can verify this with? The rear photos of the rear of a cs-lg400-9 cassette shows what looks like a spacer on the back (which also matches how I would understand Shimano puts 9-speeds in 11sp spacing on the freehub body. Remove that (likely have to grind out the 3 rivets [*]) and you should be good to go for a 7-speed body. [*]Sheldon Brown's website shows how to do this. Doing this is essentially Sheldon's 8 of 9 cassette setups.

    • @DePuesshop
      @DePuesshop 8 днів тому

      The CUES uses a 1 to 1 pull ratio, which is not compatible with the older shifter pull ratio, so you can't get a 7 speed shifter to "talk" to the CUES cassette.

    • @lastfm4477
      @lastfm4477 8 днів тому

      @@DePuesshop Yes, I know CUES has a roughtly 1:1 pull ratio (not the same roughly 1:1 as SRAM nor Advent nor Dyna-Sys). The question is can you use the CUES eco system on a 7-speed freehub body. That was what was begged for below in the other comments. Thus the Sheldon Brown 8 of 9 setup for CUES 9-speed shifter + cassette + any CUES RD.

  • @lastfm4477
    @lastfm4477 8 днів тому

    ​ @DePuesshop , I really, really don't understand keeping this bike 7-speed given you bought a new shifter and cassette. That front GT hub is beautiful and had a decent Mavic double-wall rim on it. That rear hub was a bottom end Shimano and a non-matching rim, to the front, that looked to be single wall. If the rear wheel matched the front I'd understand staying 7 speeds. Surely you have a decent 8/9/10-speed 26" double-wall rim wheel in your parts bin. Or, you could find a used on for $20. An 8-speed shifter and 8-speed cassette would likely have been about the same cost as the 7sp parts.

    • @DePuesshop
      @DePuesshop 8 днів тому

      I see your point. I would rather have gone with something in 8 speed and up, but I wanted to show how to make a wide range 7 speed possible. Some folks would like to stay with the wheel/hub they have, and this is how to get a wide range with 7 speeds.

    Disagree with your opinion a 1X setup is better, and that you think "we all have needed". Best to just express your personal preference instead of Forced Teaming, or assuming the role of spokesperson for others...what you think? Cadence efficiency suffers with a 1X setup. Sure, you get a lighter bike, if weight reduction is a priority...or visuals' the goal, because a 1X with a large cassette looks cool. If you're only doing short 1hr stints, then I theorise a 1X setup is the way to go. Long distance, energy conservation, 1X isn't efficient. I've begun cadence experiments for my recent development into long distance XC riding. My current route is 42kms, but test route is 21km. Current setup is 3 x 9: 28-38-48 + 11-36. I now only use 2nd and 3rd on the crank, and 3rd to smallest on the cassette. Recently dropped the cassette from 11-36 to 11-32 and noticed improvements. My long distance riding would greatly suffer from a 1X setup, and my pocket would too if I went for a 1 x 11\12 setup. The cost of a 1 x 11\12 groupset...I could rebuild three dump find HTs for that amount, all of them running 2 x 9\10. The industry's PR departments spend a lot of money and time enticing folks to fork over hard earned cash for expensive 1X setups, but some folks are beginning to realise a 2X setup is better, for specific types of riding. 1X for DH, yes...for XC, no. Only noticed the importance of many gears when, pre-plandemic, I started doing 2hr road rides to my village on my 29" HT (shod with road tyres) 3 x 9: 28-38-48 crank with 11-42 cassette...and I needed ALL gears. Now fitter and doing 3.5hr XC rides, I've come to understand the importance of cadence, and you can't have efficient cadence\low energy consumption with a 1X setup.

Ving's only chance was to out time trial Pog, but as we just saw, that didn't happen either. So this one is all over barring any crashes by Pog. He'll end up winning this one by at least 5 minutes, maybe closer to 10.

Rigid, triple butted chromoly frames and reliable drivetrains (like Shimano 7 or 8 speed setups) are my thing. Thanks for sharing though.

      Loathe - to feel strong hatred or disgust for. Please share as I don't understand the need or desire to hate something you don't use, and it doesn't have any affect on your life. Me - been riding since childhood - fixie, dragster, road, bmx, now mtb (from steel to cr-mo to alloy). First mtb was a Repco Maxtrax 26", no suspension (before suspension hit aussie shores). Fitted with latest dynamo technology from Sanyo, mounted under the frame where a stand would go. Minimal resistence while riding, though lumen output was less than a current led keychain torch. I'd do 1-2hr night rides on roads after work. Current ride is an old 26" Avanti HT (now a 3 x 9). Bought from the dump for $5. Total rebuild cost under $200, parts from other dump bikes + new and 2nd hand online. Will last me for years. Next build is another dump find: Polygon Siskiu dualie. Have all parts to rebuild (it'll be a 2 x 10), just had to by a DNM Burner RCP 2S rear shock (coil much heavier than air, but air has more issues than coil) for $170 + scored five NOS Zoom 29" forks $60 each, to replace the Poly's stanchion pitted one. For XC, I deeply appreciate front shocks + lighter weight of alloy frames and rims. 3 x 9 is my minimum drivetrain setup (preferring Deore but Alivio is an okay minimum), and effectively fulfills my riding needs, though looking forward to the improved cadence of 10 speed, as this year I started long distance XC. Current route is 42kms, and already noticed a drop in energy consumption + 1-2kph avg increase just by switching from 11-36 to 11-32 cassette. Thus my Poly will have 2 speed crankset and 11-23\25 10speed cassette. The extra rear cog will help with cadence efficiency, as cadence is priority for long rides especially on the inclines (one on my route is 11kms). Polygon will be my first dualie, so I'll find out if a rear shock is required and doesn't hinder energy usage. Based on my preference for long distance, and no need or desire to compete, time is never a factor...fitness and enjoyment are my priorities, and based on those, 2 x 10 is the most modern setup I'll ever use + front forks are a must. I experience far less fatigue with front forks, thus can ride further + recoup quicker for my next ride...I may experience more with a rear shock...will find out soon enough.

      ​@@Older_Mountain-goat_1984Don't bother. He is probably an old man, and when he was young he grows with those heavy unreliable bikes. I bet he also hate much older bikes (like those 1903 bikes used for tdf) because it's not from his era

      @@yukiko_5051Well I do bother because I'm interested in human nature. Perhaps he actually hates, or he's incorrectly using the term, and has no deep hatred...thus I'm genuinly interested. I'm also an old man. I'm 60, and out of all the different types I've owned, the only type I don't prefer are drop bar bikes, be it classic road bikes or the newer gravel bikes. I just don't like the riding position. My shed contains about a dozen 26" HTs, 3 dualies and half a dozen road bikes, all waiting for rebuilds, either for personal use or to give back to the small community for people who can't afford expensive crap quality entry level bikes. My current passion is XC, but if I ever build a roadie for my own use, I have my eye on a large frame Specialised that would suit me, and I'll shove straight bars on it.

      Less chance of dropping the chain with the narrow/wide chain ring. Simpler set up.

      also lighter and less clutter on the handlebar

    What no wheelies😁 Must be because of the “heavy forks”

    Very nice job, this is the second of your videos I've watched, lots of fun! I have a real 1997 Klein Attitude Comp that I'm getting ready to do a 1x11 swap on. The bike is in mint condition, I bought it off a collector. I have a 2024 Specialized SirrusX 4.0 1x11 and after riding it, it's hard to get back on the old 3x8 set up. Now I'm really pumped after watching this video! Thanks for the inspiration. 😁👊

    Slacken the rear mech with the wheel clamped in situ. A lot of strain on a flimsy hanger without.

    I just picked up a 2010 Novara Ponderosa 29er in pretty good condition, mostly just needs a cleaning. I just started the video, but I'm excited to see what you share.
