Another bike saved, high or low end very addictive and rewarding to do. Very refreshing to see a bit of recycling no greener or cooler way to get around, nice one guys keep up the great work I'm sure you will have inspired many, all the best Andy
Thank you Jon for all your videos, with your videos and other gcn videos I’ve learnt how to build bikes, including my last five bikes which I love riding
These experimental bike build videos is exactly like my bike. I'm torn from retaining my single speed converted mountain bike to a 1x gravel-ish. Cheerios! Gonna wait for the next episode.
Love this. I recently converted a '98 Kona Kilauea to a drop bar adventure bike. Actually, did a '99 Hahanna at the same time for my son. I did use v brakes with road shifters with the clever Problem Solver Travel Agent adapter, addresses the different cable pull ratios. Found some disc mount Project 2 forks and run Avid BB7 Road discs on the front. Oh, and resprayed the bikes myself using the wonderful spraybike powder coat product Very pleased with builds.
Yes Jon!!! So good. Keen to see the assembly video! Also you forgot pedals: what clipless gems have you got hidden in your shed??? Also GCN team it's about time we got a feature length video of Jon's bike cave/shed/vault!
@@JonCannings hahaha! We're all just itching to see all the amazing bike things you've collected! At least the impression I have is that. Either way, I enjoy your enthusiasm, stories and knowledge about all things bike related.
Yes! Love your choices so far 👍 although I've just changed the gearing on my mtb conversion to 42t (from 38t) and 11-40 (from 11-36) for a little extra zoom on gravel rides. Build highlights please...
Canti brakes ftw.... give that bike the stopping power it will need fully loaded. I really dig the crankset's setup, very clean and polished components looks amazing.
my only worry is that without a wide ranging rear cassette, that the 1x will feel like a real drawback. If you can get your hands on one, I'd urge you to use a 11-42t cassette
For the handlebar tape: Just use a cheap 2mm strong one as a base layer and wrap a second layer of SRAM Supercork arround it. That will give you a nice cussion for bumpy rides and is easy to clean.
This series just became super interesting for me. My uncle went blind years ago and he just gifted me his ‘93 Trek Singletrack. I was thinking of converting it to a single speed MTB. This gravel conversion gives me some different ideas! PS - epic 50 minutes!
First time I've ever heard of self-energizing cantis. Now I feel like I gotta get me some of those. Anyway, a detailed 50+ min. build video would be great! I'm genuinely courious how you're gonna fit a shadow tech derailleur on a traditional hanger...
The SunTour cantis can sometimes (depending on the frame) feel a bit underwhelming and this is a result of the brakes forcing some seat stay flex in the area of the brake boss. A booster is probably a good idea. Would prefer a 50min full build video for Part 3.
Retro Mod Agreed. I think @joncannings would greatly benefit from installing brake boosters front and rear. They would not only improve braking performance, but they can prevent catastrophic frame or fork failure. #gcntech
Maybe it is worth mentioning that this 11-34 11speed cassette is compatible with 10speed freehubs (hence your need for a washer/spacer) - if I'm not mistaken. Might come in handy for some people who want to fir an 11 speed cassette on an older rear wheel.
My 2 cents: 10-speed Tiagra shifters won't work with any old rear mech, 9-speed road shifters will work with any 8/9 speed rear mech be it road or mtb (probably want a long cage mtb for a 1x drivetrain). I'd go bigger than 11-34t cassette if you're using a 38T chainring, plenty of cheap 11-40 or 11-42 cassettes out there (even 8 or 9 speed) to get you up those hills. Fit a longer B-tension screw or use one of those mech extenders on eBay to drop the mounting position down to handle the bigger cassette. If using drop bars on a mtb (which has a relatively long top tube compared to a riad bike) then you may want a shorter but higher rise stem, or you end up too low and stretched out. Looking forward to the build, and kudos for sticking with the cantilever brakes! 👍🏻
Have you got some bar tape for Jon's build? 😉
Y'all want some Chinese bar tape? Like super cheap tape it costs £1.17
I've got some tangerine bar tape
I have some REAL lizard skin bar tape - from China. Happy to send it over. :).
Jon a relic? Nay, a classic. Don't let them give you shizz about 26 wheels, MTB weenies used them for years...
Put leather on those dropbars.
Definitely will wait for another epic 50 minutes building bike video.
I second that, epic 50!
The full length build video gets my vote, looking forward to seeing the finished bike!
Jon is the man! 50 minute more with him will be great! Thanks again GCN!
Full length build video is the way to go please!
I'm loving this!!!
Another bike saved, high or low end very addictive and rewarding to do. Very refreshing to see a bit of recycling no greener or cooler way to get around, nice one guys keep up the great work I'm sure you will have inspired many, all the best Andy
Go on, give us the full Jon Cannings build experience video. Not only are they great viewing, there is something remarkably peaceful about them.
Defo full length video. This is gonna be epic.
Full build up video helps me learn more about bikes and I enjoy the way you go about it
Yes to the 50 min full build!
Full length build please Jon, that's the best. Channel needs longer videos in general.
Full length build! I love the little nuances of building a bike with a master.
Full length, yes please.
Yes would love the full 50 minute build video
Yes, please. Full length feature episode on the build!
50 minute build no question. Very relaxing and lots of interesting info
Go for the 50 John! 👍
working together.That is perfect.See both sides of cycling is awsome.Thanks
Full length build!! lets get it started.. Thanks for the series
Of course we want to see you build it in 50 minutes !!!
Yep, we want the full building video. Totally.
Definitely full length build up video! Can't wait to see it.
Thank you Jon for all your videos, with your videos and other gcn videos I’ve learnt how to build bikes, including my last five bikes which I love riding
Looking forward to a full length build
Deffo full length film, suspect this will be a really fun bike 👍
YES! We would absolutly love a 50 minute "putting it all together video".
Got to be the full epic build version Jon. Please.
Full length build video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Frankenstein bikes are always fun! Have done few myself...can’t wait to se this one rolling!!!
Jon, I vote for the full build video
Yes. Would love to see the whole build. :)
Love these build videos. I'd like to see the full build in one episode. :)
Yes, we NEED you to hear for 50 minutes indeed!!
Full length video yes please. So the brake pull on the gear levers will match that required by the brakes?
I genuinely don't get this "pull" thing. Back in the day you just mixed and matched brakes and levers.
Mind you, the brakes were terrible...
We all want a 50 minute or longer video but you should do it live!
Heck yeah I wanna hear you do a full build up. Those are awesome!
These experimental bike build videos is exactly like my bike. I'm torn from retaining my single speed converted mountain bike to a 1x gravel-ish. Cheerios! Gonna wait for the next episode.
I'd love to see the full length build video. Pleeeeeease.
YES FOR THE 50 Min build video
Eagerly awaiting an uncut 50 minute build video!
I'd absolutely love to watch a full length video of the build!
With no front derailleur you will need to attach a bottle opener!!!
Andy Heilmann do you think he’ll do it for a Lauf ? 😂
Or use SPD clips
Mach 1 was called “Rayons Bernard “ (spokes Bernard) specialised in spokes and spokenipples😉
super, thanks! Jon
Please do a sequel this fall where you add fenders/mudguards and a rack and create a budget commuter.
Love the idea of a full length video!!!
We need a full length build Jon!!!!
Yes, long build video please.
Go epic! Go epic - let’s see the full build
Great show inspiring me to try something similar. Yes, please show the build as a full-length episode (50 mins+). Thanks!
FULL LENGTH BUILD
Yes go with the full 50 min. bike build! Also use some eco friendly tape that you can take off and throw in the washing machine and reuse!
Full video of course please. Wouldn't have it any other way 😁
Still waiting for Jon's shed tour!
Love this.

Very pleased with builds.
Yes Jon!!! So good.
Keen to see the assembly video!
Also you forgot pedals: what clipless gems have you got hidden in your shed???
Also GCN team it's about time we got a feature length video of Jon's bike cave/shed/vault!
Not letting those lot 'round my house!
@@JonCannings hahaha!

@@JonCannings yeah, c'mon Jon. Or is your place like some old nutter's place, with stacks if old bike bits everywhere, and about 20 mangy cats?!?!!!
@@matthewlewis2072 no cats.
Full length one take epic! 😀
This would be mighty useful. Just about to start on a similar project. Thanks Jon !
Yes, 50 min. Like to see the complete build.
Jon & Doddy in the same video? Nerd central!
I loved the full Length video
full length, very detailed video please
You know what I'm going to say - feature length all the way!
Yes! Love your choices so far 👍 although I've just changed the gearing on my mtb conversion to 42t (from 38t) and 11-40 (from 11-36) for a little extra zoom on gravel rides. Build highlights please...

full length 50 min epic build please !
also get mismatch bar tape, preferably splash tape.
Absolutely i would love full 50min build vid.
Yes please do the full monty 50 min build up :-)
Special appearance by Doddy. Good seeing you on GCN set
Full length build video gets my vote
Go for the epic build, oh and some celeste bar tape!!!
Yes, I want the 50 minute full bike building video 👨🔧
Epic 50 minute build please.
Full length video for me :D
50 mins full build video defo! camo bar tape!
A full how to build episode with every detail would be nice .
For the handlebar tape: Just use a cheap 2mm strong one as a base layer and wrap a second layer of SRAM Supercork arround it. That will give you a nice cussion for bumpy rides and is easy to clean.
Yes full length 2 hour build video
looking forward to seeing the 50min video😉
It's gotta be a full length video Jon, something to watch when the wife has a double bill of Corrie, lol.
I wish there was photage of Jon digging in his shed for loot for this project.

The old fashioned steel hangers are the same, really, just all in one.
@@matthewlewis2072 Really? I'm relatively sure that Shadow tech requires a differently shaped (direct mount) hanger. Like this: forums.mtbr.com/attachments/canyon/1161455d1507496837-four-broken-derailleur-hangers-my-spectral-year-wtf-img_20171008_161150310.jpg
Looking forward to this one as I have a similar project waiting in my garage.
Full length please!
Awesome! A full length video, please! I wanna do the same with an old steel bike I found.
Eeeeeh ! Go on, full video ! 🎉🎉🎉😁

Yes, SE brakes. I had a pair of those back in the day. They were great!
That's funny, I just put the same tyres on my Gravel-ish steel bike.

wasn't that a shimano LX 7speed rear hub?
My 2 cents: 10-speed Tiagra shifters won't work with any old rear mech, 9-speed road shifters will work with any 8/9 speed rear mech be it road or mtb (probably want a long cage mtb for a 1x drivetrain).

Epic 50 minute build!!
50+ minuets please! I want ALL the 'grezzie' details!
A 50 minute video sounds awesome :)
Full length!
Yes let's go with 50 minutes.
Full length video period
