Surly Steamroller - Legendary fixed gear frame

I had to do a video to give an hommage to the Surly Steamroller. Probably the most fixie of the fixie frame ever made in my opinion.

Episode 2 of the video series featuring Luis aka FixieChirst on the channel. Today we are building his second bike after the Cinelli Vigorelli: a Darkside Mannheim in inferno red. Like always with Luis it's meant for speed. Enjoy the ride!

You don't know what's TRACKLOCROSS? Well, that's a cycling niche that consists of riding a fixed-gear bike in the mud. Stupid? Yup. Fun? Hell yeah! Join Kevin and his Darkside Mannheim, FixieChrist and his Cinelli Tutto plus and Victor with his Surly Steamroller for a fun day of ride.
FIRST RIDE on my HOMEMADE CARBON WHEELSET 😁
Переглядів 5369 місяців тому
Today I am having my first ride with my home made Chinese wheels on my fixed gear bike. It's the first time I've made a pair of wheels so I tried with cheap parts: Ardently Fixed gear hubset: 50€ Carbon Chinese rims (50mm UD matt with brake surface): 260€ Sapim rainbow spokes: 77€ So far, so good :) Really enjoying my Darkside Mannheim now.
SUNDAY FIXIE RIDE ☀️
Переглядів 1 тис.9 місяців тому
A good Sunday is like this: my fixed gear bike, a bit of sun, and cool ride. Riding my Darkside Mannheim is just a joy. I changed the wheelset for less deep rims with the H Plus Son Archetype and the famous Ultradynamico tyres. Oh, and I put a flatbar from Darkside too.

DARKSIDE FIXED GEAR 😈 - the BIKE CHECK

DARKSIDE FIXED GEAR 😈 - the BIKE CHECK
You should look into a raketa custom chainring
Already done. Need to do an update video for this bike 😂
Where's the link for the chain tensioner?
If your chain has a tight spot at a specific crank arm position, I have a solution. Turn your drive crank arm to the tight spot, partially loosen all of the chainring bolts, squeeze the top and bottom chain runs together with a gloved hand, and simultaneously retighten the chainring bolts with your other hand. This slightly shifts the chainring back, creating a little slack at the tight spot. This also reduces loose spots and allows overall less driveline slack, so more even wearing, smoother pedaling, and less likely for the chain to fall off from being too loose.
What brakes are you using
Should I buy one for $500 USD? Decent condition with just basic parts. Complete bike
I think that's a fair price
You can also ask on bikeforum
@@Diordanyiel I got it for $450 after all!
Also its important to check the tension at different positions of the pedals, as the cogs are not perfectly round at least on regular bikes.
100% true 👌 Honestly forgot this as I am always doing the tension on the tight spot of the chain 😅
I just put my thumbs on the ends of the dropouts, fingers around the ends of the axle, and push/pull, centre between chainstays, and then finger tighten both nuts at the same time. Then carefully tighten with the wrench alternating sides at first (or just use two if at home). Pulling basically as hard as you can in that awkward position seems to give a pretty good tension and this method is very quick.
That indeed works well too 👌
Yeah I have one as well, it is indeed great.
craazzzy... racing in thickslick tire,and its raining!
Whats that sprocket
❤
I need a beer after this.
🍻
How much torque in Nm recommended to lock the bolt rear wheel?
I know there is a real number, but most of the time I apply this method: tighten it as much as I am dumb 😁😁
xD xD you maniac^^
42/17
42x19
Victor, so you can go up to 40s and you can't? I mean the dropouts are part of the equation. So the room in the frame doesn't really matter, if you can't get the wheel mounted, right? I heard that it takes up to 38s, but does it? Are there other frames/bikes that take 40s?
Cinelli Tutto Plus ?:)
Hey, so, you can go up to 40. But it comes with compromises. You then have limited movement in the dropouts so you need to find the good ratio and good chain length. 38 is ok but again a bit of compromises. 35 is perfect on the steamroller.
I've got a steamroller with 38c tyres and brakes
Convert to 650b like I did and 43mm tires fit easily!
No doubt
Superb!
Great video! I don't know if my method is a magic trick or a terrible hack. I sit behind the bike and use two wrenches at the same time. I pull the wheel as far back as I can, and start tightening both nuts at the same time, while making sure that the wheel stays straight. The chain sometimes ends up slightly more loose than I wish. Then I try again, pulling the wheel back with a bit more force. I should probably try your method :D
Honestly, as long as it works it’s a good method 😁😁😁😁
The most important part is to find the tightest spot before tensioning. Without that, all your work is pointless. The tension will change through the rotation no matter how expensive your drivetrain is. Looks like you spend a lot of effort on this video but in my opinion it is bad information to be giving to someone that is trying to learn new skills.
Pretty good for multiple types of riding and fairly reasonable in cost.
I am not sure if it was the best frame ever made, but it was my first option before I got the All-City Big Block.
My opinion is totally biased 😂 All-city big block is one hell of the frame too 👌
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Almost done building mine 🫡
🤟⚙️
Lol I'll never get tired of seeing fixie bros with match stick legs pushing a ridiculous ratio puttering along struggling to even reach a cadence of 70 rpm
He was actually always waiting for me 😅 I am just slow af so he has to ride slow but he can definitely hold 90rpm with this ratio ( on flat obv(
@@victorfixienerd 55x13@90rpm is almost 50km/h. If your friend with the match stick legs could cruise that speed for the duration of a ride he'd be a pro.
Encore un jolie vidéo de montage avec du bon son Ça fait plaisir
Such beautiful bikes and scenery
🔥🔥🔥
Nice!
Very nice build Dude, I bought one last year, its the nicest bike i have ever own, please tell me what chain tensioners you used , i cant seem to find nice ones, here you have another subscriber,,, just keep rocking that Cinelli
Thanks dude 💪 It’s really a rocket on the road indeed. Chain tensioner comes from Velobike New-Zealand ;-)
That Thomson set back is so nice
Yeah honestly Thomson parts are just gorgeous imo
@@victorfixienerd I know right I’m thinking about getting one just gotta get my bianchi sold then I can get some parts for this next build I’m gonna do
Can you make a sound clip of the Fluidisc? :D
Check on insta @fixiechrist ;-) I might have some there 😎
link to those sprint bars?
Check on insta MF carbon cycling ;-)
And It is a 4.25 ratio 😉 55-13
🚀🚀
Sheeesh, this edit is siiick
🔥🔥🔥
can I put one only chain tensioner on my bike? or 2 chain tensioner is better?
I always put only one on the drive side. You can put 2 but not needed ;-)
Good stuff, can you do a short video and cover importance of finding tight spot in chain by rotating cranks/pedals. I dont understand importance or what to consider once this tightness is discovered, it may be my not understanding comments fron one.
Hey John, thanks for your feedback. It's indeed a very subtle difference. I will try to amend this video soon. Cheers ;-)
is that a trek ?
Nope it's a Darkside 😎
Thanks for the early spring video. What gearing are the three of you running off road?
Thanks Steve ! We all have very different one: 46x16 49x18 And 44x19
frame size?
L or 58cm size ;-)
Chain line?
Is Ardently a decent brand?
Still not sure to be honest 😅
Chain???
Izumi Super Thoughness
Sick build
Only way to have perfect chain tension is to use a drive side chain tensioner set to not bind at the tightest part of the chain. That way you tighten the drive side 1st and the wheel will be perfectly straight in the dropouts. Doing it this way the wheel will be in a random spot every time, doesn't matter much for brakeless but if you run rear brakes it's annoying. That being said if you aren't going to do it the pro track way with the drive side tensioner this is probably the best option #2.
Nice build bro! I'm also in the process of building my dream fixed gear.the frame just got delivered this evening...I hung it in my closet since I don't have a bike stand yet!😅
this shows Money does not buy taste.
Well, that's a pretty damn useless comment 😅
