Totally agree! It’s just a little odd when it’s under the bar tape on some other people’s builds. “Plastic fantastic” LOL that is a good one I like it! Thanks for watching!
Hey man! Bicycle mechanics noob here. Your videos are really cool to watch! I've been learning a lot since I started watching you! Keep up the great work!! 😁
Great tip with the hockey tape! Think I'll try using it to wrap a chainstay protector on my mtb. On the slipping seatpost, I had a similar issue recently. Make sure the binder bolt threads have a little grease
Most people just take a flat head screwdriver and bend the clamp slightly out and then when you tighten it up it bends right back. No scratches needed on the bar.
Not too sure since I’ve been riding my Fuji a lot more recently. But you cannot go wrong with that frame it’s absolutely incredible and better geometry than older mtb frames!
for your other bike with the seatpost that's not holding, did you try a smaller seatpost binder bolt? I had the same issue on an old raleigh frame and it turned out the binder bolt was a couple millimeters too wide, using a narrower one held the seatpost.
That actually may be the case! The thing is this frame has the but screw into the frame itself rather than two bolts into each other. I did crank it down a little more and for now seems to be holding up thankfully. BUT I will try to avoid in the future a vintage frame where the bolt screws into the frame rather than a second bolt.
I love these upgraded steel bikes. Got one for my girlfriend too. To me, these downtube shifters really held back the whole segment of road bikes for three decades. Just a huge stain on the industry and Shimano for exploiting their near monopoly. They have no redeeming qualities and are unsafe to boot.
They’re totally safe, everyone rode and raced just fine with them, until something new came along. Like walking and chewing gum at the same time, it’s a simple skill that takes just a few minutes to master. They’re light, simple, easy to repair or replace, which is one of the reasons they were used for so long. There were bar-end shifters and stem mounted shifters available for those who preferred them, but they were few, the preference amongst most were downtube shifters
the older cable routing setup on the STI seems to suit older frames with exposed cable runs IMHO. Leave the "aero" for the plastic fantastic crowd 😁

@@joseharders2297 thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate the comment!
Great useful information, Thank you .
Appreciate the comment! I’m happy I could help!
Well done!
I have a Zip tie gathering my cables with the break cables and they look really neat.
Great tip with the hockey tape! Think I'll try using it to wrap a chainstay protector on my mtb.

Oh yea it could be used as that as well! And it's so durable. I will use that tip for my seatpost and see if it works. Thank you so much for watching!

Very true I should have done that lol. But I’ll know for next time. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!
Great video 🚴🏻
What's going on with the state all road in the back? Recently ordered an all road 4130 frame can't wait to build it up
