@@britshell hmmm a specialised s works rivals those 3 this frame isn’t an s works though. but yea he’s showing you a USED carbon frame, which is a good way to get a cheap bike
Danny, always use a heat gun to remove the stickers, never use the knife on the paint but a dull plastic tool. Thus you avoid scratches on the Paint Job. 🤓👆
You should get New sticker's on because that's a carbon frame and will get a lot of tiny crack's very easily but the stickers can prevent that from happened so you don't get that spider web pattern micro cracks on your frame,,, those crack's is usually just the paint and comes because carbon fiber frames can get vibrations and through it's micro flexibility
Very cool build. That internal rear brake routing is crazy. I would have sleepless nights thinking about a open pipe going up into a frame scooping up dust and fibers as it goes. Some relief came from the fact that you have to trim the end off. I would have no issue buying a second had bike from you. Nice attention to detail...keep the cool content coming.
I think that shifter cable went out, on the derailleur, on the wrong direction , because the natural way out on the cable coming from the housing, is straight to the direction you placed the way out. And could work, but not properly, I had the same event in different conditions but when It's right, it's kind of magic. By the way I love your videos because we have the same taste for doing thing by our own. CHEERS!!!
Yes my dream build is a bmxand i didnt spena thousand on it i only spent 500 pesos here in Philippines and i love what i ride its not about the price its about how i love and appreciate my build
Sorry But I Love Inner Cable Routing, no matter what people says. id rather go thru all that Hassle just to have a clean looking Bike over a messy looking bike simply because there is no cable routing its clean and Neat.
Great video. The title made me curious about the overall cost of this build. In the end I realised that commenting on cost would be difficult, however, because it varies so much for each of us.
Great video and great job on the bike. I have started doing my own maintenance and repairs after watching your videos. Thank you very much for the hard work you do on your videos.
Not reading all, but for pinch bolts you are correct. Work through them all until you get no more “clicks” for exactly the reason you stated. You may have overtorqued the crank preload though…. 🙂
I agree. Internal routing sucks. Especially when it comes to hydraulic brakes, where it's a major PITA. I prefer the old-school external routing, which I am happy to see is coming back, at least on some hardtails. Thanks for the entertaining and informative video. Cheers
Could you explain this a bit? I am currently buying a new bike and so far thought internal routing a good thing, since I hope it's easier to clean the frame and keep the wires non dirty. Thansk :)
@@LegoEddy Sure. External routing can give you a nice looking bike that may be a bit easier to clean. When I say PITA, I'm talking specifically about hydraulic brakes. The front brake is no problem. But, to fit the rear brake you have to take off the caliper or lever to get the hose into the frame. That means doing it before you fill the system with oil, or else draining the system, taking off the caliper, then refitting it. After that, you have to add oil and bleed out the air. It all takes time, some knowledge and skill, and can be messy. Conversely, I recently swapped some hydraulic brakes between two of our bikes with external frame routing. None of that draining/refilling or bleeding was necessary. Just undo the bolts, cut a few zip ties that keep the hoses in place on the frame, and re-mount everything on the other bike. Easy peasy. If you do maintenance on your bike, or manage a family fleet (we've got 5 bikes), then external routing seems like the best way to go. I wouldn't necessarily avoid a bike with internal brake routing, but my preference is for external because it's less hassle. Note: The HARDTAIL PARTY UA-cam channel just reviewed the "Sour Crumble" -- a new German steel hardtail that comes with internal and external routing. He said he was going to fit his brakes externally to avoid the hassle. Check it out. I hope I got all that right. Live long and keep riding!
Great video man! I don’t have a lot of money and I’ve managed to buy or build some very nice bikes that I would otherwise never own. I just bought a nearly immaculate Giant Thermo 1 for $150aud, so for less than a department store bike, I got a 5yo, 24sp, disc brake, modern frame with front suspension that was one owner and just perfect. I own a lot of old bikes I’ve built up into daily riders, and I also bought an Australian made Speedwell Flash 500 5 speed road bicycle for $150 and this bike is in excellent condition, I added some caged pedals and a comfy saddle, and it is definitely one of my favourite bikes that is about 40 years old, but still performs well enough that it can be used when ever I want.
Thank you for this wonderful video sir. I really enjoy watching it especially the tutorials you make. The best! I'm your no.1 fan here in the Philippines. 🇵🇭
7:56 - I feel your frustration, that internal routing on the Epic is designed like an afterthought. The 2021 Cannon. F-si has a removable internal housing router for so you don’t need the surgical tools, top engineering solve. With certain parts you can internalize the housing thru the handlebars and stem for an amazingly clean looking bike with not much visible tubing.
nice ride , internal mount cables are a p i a . tour de france mechanics found out braising cable stays on the outside frame work better even on over 30k bikes .
really realistic videos for the build congratulations ! very precious knoledge for the bike build, and i have one more tip for you: when you put de tokens adapters put a little more grease in the cups and de axle because it make noises after a few the uses
I hated to watch you struggling with that brake cable routing, is there a reason you couldn't use a tool like the park tool internal cable routing set? Plenty of great tips! Love the Milkit tubeless kit. I like the "real world" build, thanks!
Absolutely. And then a shifting cable first attached to the cotton line as a guide. Then the brake or shifting housing using the cable which then can be removed. Takes 5 minutes.
Dear Sickbiker, have you ever tried track fixed gear bikes ? thats lots of fun! waiting for you to make a video how to build (a budget?) fixed for racing :)
Great build Danny! What kind of rubber tube is the one that you route the brake hose into? Is it to reduce the rattle inside te frame? Thank you for your videos always relaxing to watch and very informative!
Beatiful frame great build, i think it would be more versatile to use 2x in the front i know it don't look as cool as 1x but You can have more range and use the bike for Road gravel rides thats what i have in My stumpjumper ht
well technically 13,758.94 United States Dollar is 1 million russian ruble. and there is some mountain bikes out there that cost that much. like a wheelbarrow full
Very nice build. The small metal gear cable guide / ferrule, where the cable enters the frame at the head tube should be positioned inside the frame though. Would be good to see an update.
Nice relaxing video to watch. I like to watch someone who can spin a spanner. That cable fee through the frame was nuts. Perhaps you should try an electrical fish line. Top notch job all around though.
Try a vintage restore say 10 or 12 years old deore is relatively inexpensive and a lot of older hi end mtb were using Deore as a quality ,fairly inexpensive group set. im working on a 2000gf tassajara factory it was equipped w bontrager and Deore components and im in it only 500.00...thats 150.00 for the bike 220 for 3x9 cranks and cassetteand 145.00 in tires...o and 30.00 for a nickle chain
thanks for fun video. questions: 1 - are you typically able to remove crown race with a cable pick? 2 - do you typically not need a crown race setting tool to set the race?
I can usually get crown races off with just a flathead screwdriver and a hammer, as for putting on, I lightly use a hammer using a soft side if I have it
I'm a bike mechanic and I absolutely agree about internal routing. External is the way to go
Dream build doesn't have to be expansive. *uses epic carbon frameset*
Duh, he’s showing that you can get a good bike for cheap. Just because the frame is carbon doesn’t mean the bike costs a million dollars.
@@Foster_B ,z
@@Foster_B just because the frame is carbon doesn't mean it's a good bike.
@@britshell Epic is a really decent and neat frame. If you think otherwise chances are you don't know much about bikes
@@britshell hmmm a specialised s works rivals those 3 this frame isn’t an s works though. but yea he’s showing you a USED carbon frame, which is a good way to get a cheap bike
Beautiful bike! I'm using this model 3 years now and it never let me down. It's time no make a good service so thanks you for this video!
Danny, always use a heat gun to remove the stickers, never use the knife on the paint but a dull plastic tool. Thus you avoid scratches on the Paint Job. 🤓👆
I have seen this video several times since it was launched. I think it is a brilliant build and perfect for most people getting into racing
I was impressed how you were able to route the hose through the foam insulation via the bottom bracket!
You should get New sticker's on because that's a carbon frame and will get a lot of tiny crack's very easily but the stickers can prevent that from happened so you don't get that spider web pattern micro cracks on your frame,,, those crack's is usually just the paint and comes because carbon fiber frames can get vibrations and through it's micro flexibility
WATCHING THOSE BIG BLUE BRUSHES WORKING THROUGH THE FRAME IS EXTREMELY SATISFYING🤩
Thank for reminding me why I bought a Santa Cruz Chameleon instead of a Epic😂

Putting carbon paste on the seat post is really good idea. Aluminum can still galvanically weld itself to carbon if it gets enough water and time.
True

Shimano must have sent all produced material to youtubers, because there is no stock anywhere.
In eBay Is a lot of stuff i just Buy all those 2 weeks a go
Shortages + huge demand. We live in 2021 baybee!
everything is wholesale now, try amazon or a local bike shop can order it for you.
So many clear protection stickers. You should have weighed them all.

i would love to see a video of what you would come up with if you had to build bikes with certain budgets
Superb! It was a treat to watch the bike being put together. Awesome work and the satisfaction of seeing the end product is just great!
I've never seen a bike with all them clear stickers, cool
06:52-07:10 In the video: all works fine with pleasant music, reality: SWEARING!

Hello from Slovakia! Weather kinda sucks in here too. Hopefully it will change soon. :-)
If you put a hairdryer on those clear stickers, it's much easier to remove them as the adhesive softens up like crazy
It was a good idea to removing old stickers. Not putting new ones was wrong.
nice ride , internal mount cables are a p i a . tour de france mechanics found out braising cable stays on the outside frame work better even on over 30k bikes .
Just did a build myself. Nabbed a 2016 CAAD8 frame/fork brand new. Excellent frame.
New sticker maybe, to protect the frame
This with drop bars and a dropper post would be sick
there is super convenient cable routing tools for a couple dollars on aliexpress. it is a metal wire with magnets.cheers my friend!
you should warm the stickers up with a heatgun or hairdrier first as it softens the glue and comes off very easy then
dude your videos are clear and awesome, so much respect for your content! thank you!

It's easier to remove the stickers if you warm them with a hair dryer first 👍
Very nice build Danny!
I didn’t know you were polish?! Lubię twoje vidoes bardzo, dużo me pomogłeś z naprawianie i czyszczenie rowery :)

Great job bro. Please make a video on how to improva a Specialized Rockhopper Comp. I love this bicycle 🚲💥🚲🔧🔧🚲💥🚲.
I very enjoy this video and videos like this! Satisfy bike tech video!
Learned I’m not patient enough to build a bike, maybe in the future my passion will outweigh my hesitation.
Wow what a talented guy. I could never do this.
I use a sewing line with a nail and a magnet to route lines through the frame it is way easier
Absolutely. And then a shifting cable first attached to the cotton line as a guide. Then the brake or shifting housing using the cable which then can be removed. Takes 5 minutes.
THAT'S AWESOME ! THANKS FOR SHARING AND SEE YOU ON YOUR NEXT VIDS .
Would submit that you could take the gloves off with the milkit tubeless setup. Very clean.
Random pop up on my feed. Great build mate! Dziękuję Ci
that milkit system is pretty neat!
What a beauty...
But I only dream about these.
Loving the milkit! Very clever

Nice work dude i watched ur videos all the time
In the future, try using isopropyl alcohol to clean the bike. It is MUCH better for cleaning everything on your bike.
he did, didn't he?
@@muzman777 no, he used alcohol. That usually refers to ethanol.
Yes it's good isopropyl but if you can't get it methylated spirits is close because it basically alcohol.

Just want to say thanks for all the great content.
Nice build. Enjoyable video. I share your opinion of internally routed cables and housings.
well a dream build is the most high end bike the best of the best this is a great build
well technically 13,758.94 United States Dollar is 1 million russian ruble. and there is some mountain bikes out there that cost that much. like a wheelbarrow full

Most people would stuck at the rear derailleur hanger. Good luck finding one. :-(
you can have a machine shop make you one
Millons of $ ,of course not, but thousands of $ ,YES
That bike in Argentina is "Gama Alta" hahaha nice video, so satisfying!
I prefer Fox forks and shocks, really like the look of that milk it system, will have to give it a try. Where you get your headset bearings?
I'm watching your program in Trivandrum, Kerala, India. Amazing...! I wish you were somewhere near me to discuss my dream bicycle upgrade...!!!
Good day to you. May i know what you sprayed on the frame after washing? Thank you. I'm also planning to buy an Epic HT and use Deore groupset.
Cheaper is to buy an new alu Specialized Chisel frame.Its 1350gr.
Am road bike rider . Thinking to try mtb . Good job man 👍🏼❤️
Great video! Thanks for the informations. Always a pleasure to watch.
Fajny 🚲 fajnie ze nagrłes składanie 🚲 tez lubie siedzieć składać pozdrawiam. ;)
Great video, great build, except for the crappy fast track tires :(
That cable routing is a really big pain in the ass
No, it's not. He's just doing it completely wrong.
Truly a thing of beauty.
Great video Danny, very interesting 👍
Let’s say half a million then !
Deore group set and special frame is already expensive for me
Try a vintage restore say 10 or 12 years old deore is relatively inexpensive and a lot of older hi end mtb were using Deore as a quality ,fairly inexpensive group set. im working on a 2000gf tassajara factory it was equipped w bontrager and Deore components and im in it only 500.00...thats 150.00 for the bike 220 for 3x9 cranks and cassetteand 145.00 in tires...o and 30.00 for a nickle chain
Use an 11 or 10 speed transmission, it's much cheaper
It doesn't cost you a million bucks, but you have to spend a MILLION BUCKS in tools and equipment. DUH!
Not! ive accumulated all my tools over the years but i doubt im in it 500 stand included but thats just me
thanks for fun video. questions:
1 - are you typically able to remove crown race with a cable pick?
2 - do you typically not need a crown race setting tool to set the race?
I can usually get crown races off with just a flathead screwdriver and a hammer, as for putting on, I lightly use a hammer using a soft side if I have it
Danny actually has some shampoo laying around?! Ha ha excellent video
Will that little compressed air booster work with any valves? Or just the milkit valves? I’d love to just buy that part of the kit.
I wish a had that bike.Thank you
stuff like this is why im not a specialized dealer anymore
Never actually done breaks on a specialized bike and now I’m glad I haven’t😂
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing it
