Great video. I must have watched this 4-5 times the last few days waiting for my bike. It showed up today and I got it all put together in about and hour. Only things left are to make a few adjustments to the seat and handlebars.
Nice video with very clear explanations! I prefer to rest the wheel on the ground with some weight on the bars when tightening up the QR, to ensure that the axle seats properly in the dropout. If it doesn't seat properly this can cause brake rub.
@@TheBikeSauceyes please, they send these bikes with no instructions and not even close to as assembled as it was in this video. You gotta install the brake rotors, both front and rear wheels, rear derailer, etc etc. nothing insane but they have no instruction on their site lol so I found this video only to discover it’s not the same anymore haha
@@TheBikeSauce hell yea brother! I’m sure they would be open to that because their website doesn’t even have specific x ambition instructions lol. Thanks for what you do!
Help! I bought an X as well as Hunt Mason X wheels. For the wheels with QR I can't get the freehub to stay in place on the hub. Any thoughts on how to trouble shoot the issue? Thanks.
Nice video! Do you know what are the screws for the front caliper (M6/M5x1,M6/M5x0.75 )? I order the frame set and when putting the screws it seems to force and i don't want to brake the fork thread. Thank you!
None of my bike was assembled, and the wiring on the derailleur was twisted around the frame completely the wrong way. Absolute pain in the ass to sort out

This has to be the best instructional video I have ever seen... and I've seen quite a few for a wide range of different things. Awesome! Subscribed!
We’ll that’s just high praise. Thanks!
Well done, thorough and complete video. I've watched enough of your videos that I plan to get a torque wrench soon.
awesome video man. Had this bike for 1.5 years and just realized barrel adjuster actually works LOL. I usually mess with low/high screws

Definitely.
More of an issue with QR hubs. Not as much with thru axle
Thanks man. My X just came in today so this is most helpful.
Nice! Happy nbd
No rear assembly instructions? My bike didn’t ship rear assembled 😢
Maybe time for an update video

Haha yea I’m talking to Poseidon about doing an up to date vid

What assembly grease did you use or can you recommend?
Great video. More content on the X please!
Would slick bee honey be okay for grease?
Can you make a video on how to replace the brake housing for the Poseidon X please?
I'm putting together a mongoose juneau fat tire bike right now. It's a little intimidating when you haven't done it before.
Are those gravel specific flip-flops???
I submit that all flip flops are gravel specific

My did not come with the front disk brake on the rim. It looks pretty easy to install
Thank you. I guess I need pump

Using a level to set the seat that's classy.
😆
Incredibly helpful! Thank you! Liked and Subbed.
QR hubs and innertubes? I thought they went out years ago. Like the front derailleurs and frame lugs that are on my bikes.
@@OutThere42 yeah yeah. I know. I'm old skool. All my stuff is QR.
Professor Sauce do you find more drag on the crank when you run the clutch in the on position? I find that on my GRX 1x drivetrain.
I definitely hear more drivetrain noise, but I’d bet it’s only a couple watts at most, which I can’t definitively feel
@@TheBikeSauce I noticed it when I had it on the stand...didn't spin as free with clutch on.
Good observation. True there’s more chain tension, but practically I can’t feel it on the road
Sounds like we need some sensors and #dataacquisition
