I have been an amateur bicycle racer and working inside the bicycle industry since 1999. I decided to start sharing what it's like to be a part time bicycle racer and bicycle industry worker in Oklahoma. I hope you enjoy!
FIXED-GEAR GRAVEL CARBON CERVELO ASPERO
I go through the process of building a fixed gear bike out of a Cervelo Aspero that was never meant to be built this way. There were quite a few challenges and obstacles along the way, but I got through it with the help from my good buddy Dwayne of Scissortail Cycles. Let me know what you think!

This song takes me way back to when I had a 1989 Volkswagen Fox with a Bob Marley tape stuck in the tape deck. I could either listen to the classic rock station or that tape. On my drive home from work once or twice a week, they would have "Get the Led out". One hour of Led Zeppelin, no commercials, back to back songs. It was amazing. My tribute to such an inspiration in my life at that time....

Come watch what it's like to battle with the other Cat 1 mtb riders in Oklahoma. On this course, we did a total of 31 miles at a 13.65 mph average speed. After a bad start missing my pedal and riding my way into 3rd, I could only pull off a 5th place finish in the end. It was a super fun race and an epic battle!

VELO DOG RIDE from YELLOW DOG COFFEE (time and day change)
Algorithm is on point with this one
No offense but it looks like the Wera A6 torque wrench only has clockwise torque control. I encountered numerous cases were people falsely thought their torque wrenches would have counter clockwise torque control too and as a result overtorqued their UDH hangers like shown at 7:20. I mounted and reused several UDH hangers on my own bikes a couple of times and never had a problem with the 25 Nm torque spec since I use a wrench with left and right torque control.
Rode mtb for years,now I mostly ride tracklocross on my all city bigblock,front caliper brake,chromag wide bars.I love it,so simple and challenging aswell.Teaches some valuable bike riding skills and makes you strong aswell.Tracklocross is getting big in some countries.
As a long time fixed daily rider It's hard on the knees riding in the wrong gearing
Do you have any other recommendations for carbon frames that can be converted into a fixed gear? Sick build btw
@@ForGlory1 this question is exactly why I went for it on this one. Nothing really exists in the industry. I learned a lot, and I can tell you that you want to start with the narrowest bb shell possible. That's what made my build so tricky. If I had it to do again I would not have chosen a frame with a bb right system, because it's just a bit too wide once you put the eccentric cups in. Hope this helps.
SIC Build. 🤘💀🤘
notchas is the alias of chas christiansen, fixed gear legend.
That's the dude I was talking about for sure!
What I like about my fixed gear is the simplicity and the longevity of a steelframe. With a Carbon Frame and hydraulic disc brakes you loose these advantages. But I still gotta say I love the build. Looking awesome and refreshing!
I have one of those too, it's in my older videos. It's a custom powder coated Surly Steamroller that I have been riding since about 2012. I love the aesthetic of the steel frame just like everyone else, but I wanted a bike that is light and fast for this build.
@@chadshanks5409 I totally understad what you mean. That has to be the fastest and lightest fixed gear I ever saw. And if you already got e steel frame why not building another fixed gear which is better suitable for other criterias. Enjoy the bike and greetings from Switzerland :)
the owner must be a super bike handler to pull off a fixie on a gravel specially the terrain becomes quite technical
That would be me, fingers crossed!
He is.
How was the chainline? Is it straight? Noisy?
Upon final build, it wasn't great. I had to leave town, literally the minute I finished. Believe it or not, I actually need to move the chainring OUT, which is a first for me when building fixies. Thankfully, the chainring is reversible, so when I get back into town I am going to flip it outwardly. This "should" be perfect, as it's rideable right now, but not perfect. I will update when I get to finalize.
@chadshanks5409 OK, sound great, but how did you move the chainring out? Adding spacers or? On crankset or cog?
@@mj86ProductionI haven't done it yet, but it looks like the raceface chainring is reversible, so if it is, that would be easy peasy. If I am wrong, then my back up move would be to move to an 1/8" chain instead of 3/32 to have a but more width variability, which I do not want to do. But, I am fairly certain the offset chainring is reversible. I cannot move the cranks with spacers, because with the width of a bbright shell that Cervelo uses, mixed with the width of the eccentric cups that I had to grind down, I had only a half a millimeter to play with, so to say the tolerances were tight was an understatement.
@@chadshanks5409 “Stop it. Get some help.” - Michael Jordan
I got a chance to flip the chainring around and it is "DEAD ON". It runs quiet as a mouse now!
Hi i have a Aspero aswell and would like to integrate the cables also. What kind of parts did you use, apart from the Aspero-5 Fork and would there be enough space for three cables?
Well,I promised Cervevlo to be somewhat tight lipped about what I did because they officialy DO NOT RECOMMEND doing this conversion as it will void any warranty and was not originaly designed to be built like this. I cut the bearing race to be able to clear the cables and used the stem that goes to the fork that you mentioned. I can honestly say there is zero room for a third cable. It was really tight getting the two brake hoses through there and I was nervous I wouldn't be able to once I started the build. Good luck!
Can’t wait to see you rip on that thing
Amazing mate
@@Bathi666 thanks!!
Hey man, did you get a chance to try the different elastomers? I just got the post and I am interested in a softer elastomer.
Amazing work! Hope to see it in person someday.
@@bmxryan let's ride soon!
This is like those "cursed images" but a bicycle.
If you buy a frameset does it come with the headset?
So is this a permit ride area?
Negative. This is Ray Halls personal property. One only needs to sign a waiver.
Sweet looking ride mate.
gravel bike approved
I will be stealing the lever levelling trick and the bartape over the shoulder move for future builds. Great job, the bike looks ace!
Looks like a knock off
@@chrispace9916 it's not.
Love tight switches on the climbs there
I like cables with some slack.. I fly with my biike numerous times per year , in an Evoke bag and need the slack in my cables to remove the bars. adn pack the bike properly. Can this new frame pack easily ?
@@williammorris4419 if you did not do the fully integrated headset pieces, which is how it comes (without), you wouldn't have a huge issue...
That chainbreaker at 5:32, can you give spec on it, brand/model - thanks
Sweet ride! Thanks for the handlebar top tube brake cable tip!
Super cool ritchey logic.
Thanks for the video. Any chance of getting a review of the Rocky Mounts rack you’re using?
@@christopheraverett3099 that's a great idea. I'll try to make that happen. Spoiler alert, I LOVE it.
I want to be Sarah when I grow up!
Man what a gorgeous build, well done. I'm looking to buy a 2024 Caledonia 5 and am finding stock is pretty low in the frame size I need (58). If I purchase online through someone like Mike's Bikes I have no say in how many headset spacers and what my final stem length should be. Suppose the best option is to have my LBS order it from Cervelo and work with them. I know it's an obvious point but do you have any other direction? Love the level of detail to your build, it's what makes your Cale 5 standout in a crowd.
I really like old steel frames. most people now prefers carbon or allu.
what make are the rims please?
to be honest, I didn't build the wheels, so I am not sure. They did not have any labeling on them.
Is the color white or blue?
What size is that? Looks huge with that long head tube. Looks super comfortable with short chain stays to make it stiff laterally. Am I close? 🤔
Note the fork. It appears to have been pushed back, as in a front-ender. This is from the barrel distortion of the camera lens. I panicked the first time I noticed that one of my bikes appeared to have this problem in a photo. I ran down to the garage and saw that the bike was fine. It was only the distortion from the lens.
In the box with the seatbolt comes a Twizzler
Love it. Thanks for showing us.
Very elegant
Great video ! I would have done a very similar build myself. Excellent choice of components,on that beautiful frame and fork. Looking forward to seeing your next video!
Not sure what you were trying to communicate to viewers, but it was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing. Great track selection too. All the best from Australia
Was he ok?
What was the point of the metal ramp thing with the guy standing on it?
@@mommasonthemove9144 he was.
@@mommasonthemove9144 it's on the refuge, so we had.to get across that fence
@@chadshanks5409 I didn't see a fence, but now I have to go look. Lol
Do yall wear the clicky shoes on these trails too?
What is Cat 1?
I want to try this but slow at first. Since those strokes and vertigo, the trees might trip my brain a bit, but this looks so fun!!
@@mommasonthemove9144 cat 1 is the expert category..
Yeah. The older steel required frame saver coating. Some Nivachrome tube has Vanadium in the alloy which prevents rusting. Powdercoating a brazed frame may be risky, as the cleaning and heat treatment to activate the epoxy resin is very close to the melting point of the braze. Then, you need a good 2K clear coat.
Nice camera 📸 work!😘👍🏻
Worlds best cameraman!
is that a single ring? Id like to put a single ring on my bike
It is. Wolf tooth components makes a narrow wide for most crank bcds
Hi! May i know the handle bars brand is?
Been a while since I built it, but if I remember correctly it is the Ritchey WCS Carbon Streem
Where is this trail located at?
North side of Lake Hefner in Okc
While I do like the powder coat very much that original paintjob was about as retro cool as it gets IMO. Its too bad it was in such a crusty condition. I would have also went with a front derailleur but that's just preference. The 1x setup is awesome too. Sick build btw.
I love to watch your entertaining and motivating videos. Great work, great bike. Thank you, Chad.
