Hey! Francis here, we hope you enjoy our first ever episode of Chilled Builds. This is actually a series that Jimmi has been filming for his own UA-cam channel (@jimmimedia) for the past two years and they’ve been very popular, so we thought it’d be nice to put some on this channel too. If you like slower paced, ASMR-style bike build videos, then this series might be for you. First up we have a Van Rysel RCR Pro built up with new SRAM Red. For full disclosure, the groupset is just on loan to us from SRAM for review, but Decathlon have kindly loaned us the frameset and paid to be featured here. So thank you to them for supporting the channel and helping us to keep our content free for viewers. Also, thanks to Nic from Backyard Bikeshop for the help on this one too. We’ve got some plans to cover some more interesting builds in the future, so stay tuned. In the meantime grab a cuppa or set the turbo up and enjoy.
Exactly what I need 👍🤣 just bought a road bike frame from eBay after deciding prices for a bike are a joke so decided to build my own, then remembered I haven’t built a bike since the 90s haha so more online shopping it is 👍👍
The very first Van Rysel Dream Build! And immediately with the brand-new SRAM Red! Insane! Incredible! What a bike! What a job! Thank you, guys, you made my day.
Just got those tyres for my wife in a 28mm. She loves them. Literally have helped her take a minute off a 25 minute loop she does. The feel of them is amazing.
Congratulations on the brilliant result! Incredible assembly. Seeing separate pieces transform into a work of art is simply amazing. Greetings from Brazil. 🇧🇷
This was lovely. I was half expecting bamboo flutes to start playing. More relaxing bike build videos like this please. You could start a weekly ASMR series.
I’ve seen these type of videos on a number of channels, but I like Cade Media’s the most. You four strike the best balance of plugged in, unbiased, and enthusiastic that I’m aware of. Keep up the good work, folks. Shout out to Nic’s Casio watch!
Thanks Francis , Jimmi , and Nic , outstanding job ! I saw Nic drop a tool ...he is human ! Beautiful bike , but I watched you ride it already . I am a fan of Jimmi's channel from day one as well. Please continue ..all of this content !
Yup like these builds, certainly has built into a nice looking race bike. Good job panda was tied to the bike stand savage brutes when they haven't been fed.
Amazing build! Only thing I would change is set it tubeless and go for the biggest cassette, and obviously a head unit mount. Otherwise I wish that was my bike :)
Absolutely fantastic! VAN RYSEL is my favorite bike brand and RCR is my dream bike. I hope this dream becomes a reality someday. Until then, I ride a heavily modified TRIBAN RC520, which is also a very good bike... By the way.... I use the same watch strap that the mechanic has. It was funny to watch :)
it;s $7K in the US and still not available in Canada yet. I still enjoying my old Tarmac SL2, might looking for an upgrade, the VR RCR may be a good choice.
Looking at all that labyrinthine internal cable routing, I have an inkling that this otherwise beautiful Decathlon will feature in the next Pro Bike Mechanic Nic's most-hated bike products video.
I wonder how one of those build videos would feel without the ethereal music in the background, perhaps with some nice electronic dance music? It would set you apart in the genre for sure.
Really wonder why the leaver comes premounted with the break cable and NO extra olive. Was in my case too. So you want to assemble your bike an voila you need some extra parts.....🙄
this is one of the best motherfucking videos you've ever put up. that bit at the end was BEAUTIFUL. very well played, detective. i've seen those builds on jimmi's broadcasts. they are incredible. the lack of words and the ambient are a killer. also: incredibly educational! i just cleared a couple of doubts i had about internal routing... having a crack at it for the first time ever very soon. thank you for this, man. 🤸🏽
So Nic was away for the official launch, yous "opened" the box when you should have today?? Then this video comes out. Something tells me that box was opened last week 😂
Its the best choice.I ride my hookless Zipps with TPU Tubes and it works perfect.And it feels much safer than Tubeless for me.I ride them with 4.3 Bar in the back,4.1bar in Front and had never any Problem.
Awesome video. Question though - I saw Nic using tire levers to get the tires on. I've heard that's a no-no. Does he use special levers or have a special technique to do that?
DO not copy one thing this guy does! He has a whole wall of pro tools and he building a bike with a multitool!! NO PRO WOULD DO THAT!..then using a tire iron!!! he probably got a manicure and didnt want to mess up his nails..NO PRO WOULD EVER USE A TIRE IRON..EVER..HES EITHER TOO WEAK TO USE HIS HANDS OR TOO DELICATE..YOU DECIDE....never use a tire iron or go to a shop that does..i wouldnt let this guy touch my bike
So glad to see Nik clamp frame by top-tube in stand (although briefly) reason i say this is it's perfectly fine if you're sensible, it's not the huge no no the myth has brainwashed us into.
Out of curiousity because maybe I am doing it wrong, why do you put the green grease (supposed to be for bearings or moving parts as far as I maybe wrongly have understood) on the bottom bracket? would not be better the anti grip one (white)?

Marvellously meditative material.
Well done Jimmi, as usual.
Finally some content for the real Jimmi-heads
Such a great video.
Like being at the spa, more of these please!
The most amazing part is Nic not talking.
I was severely hungover 😞
That's how I fix bikes the best as well...
Yes. Sir, at your will, Sir.
The very first Van Rysel Dream Build! And immediately with the brand-new SRAM Red! Insane! Incredible!
What a bike! What a job!
Thank you, guys, you made my day.
With tubless better
@@aliforz1318 True!
Nick is trying so hard to bang around making it ASMR 😂
I thought the same thing. It was as relaxing as getting a massage from a muscular russian guy hahaha
torque wrenches? We don' need no stinkin' torque wrenches! Nic builds entire bike with the multitool out of his saddlebag.
An entire wall of Park Tool tools…and he uses a multitool
And no grease for the headset bearings
His hand is tuned to within +/- 0.5nm
You guys know he didn’t calmly throw the bike together in 16 minutes right?
All the fine tuning and time consuming boring ass stuff is taken out.
Super build..looks very nice ❤
Simply theraputic and zen. Not a single dialogue is spoken which makes it even more magical
Just got those tyres for my wife in a 28mm. She loves them. Literally have helped her take a minute off a 25 minute loop she does. The feel of them is amazing.
What tyre brand pls?
Congratulations on the brilliant result! Incredible assembly. Seeing separate pieces transform into a work of art is simply amazing. Greetings from Brazil. 🇧🇷
Not the bike build video we were expecting, but the bike build video we needed... Thank you and God bless you...
That front mech alignment tool is off the chain!!
Hopefully the chain won't be off ;-)
PLEASE never stop making this kind of videos
This was lovely. I was half expecting bamboo flutes to start playing. More relaxing bike build videos like this please. You could start a weekly ASMR series.
ASMR chill vidoes are nice and all. But I think a Nic rants for 3 hours whilst building a bike video would do well as well. :V
I’ve seen these type of videos on a number of channels, but I like Cade Media’s the most. You four strike the best balance of plugged in, unbiased, and enthusiastic that I’m aware of. Keep up the good work, folks. Shout out to Nic’s Casio watch!
Great video. I think you nailed that format.
Zen and the art of bike building. Very good 👍
Thanks Francis , Jimmi , and Nic , outstanding job ! I saw Nic drop a tool ...he is human ! Beautiful bike , but I watched you ride it already . I am a fan of Jimmi's channel from day one as well. Please continue ..all of this content !
this video is therapy
This is one stunning video - a meditation session. Absolutely breathtaking and I’d be happy if you shared more.
Great video all...what a bike...looks so good!
Oh man, I wish I had that front derailleur mounting tool when I had to fix my FD last time. Looks so easy to get right!
Very well done video, chapeau to everyone involved.
Gorgeous build! I love this format as well and I think this is the first time I have seen Francis quiet 😆
...and especially _Nic_ quiet
Love the understated look of the bicycle, I'm really surprised that it did not get tubeless tires considering all the high end components it has.
That bike looks so good with the tan wall tires.
Very relaxing to watch. If I was doing this it would be major stress and anxiety. As I'm useless at anything mechanical.
This guy looks so professional, even when he drops the tool
Beauty of a bike and a video. Love it ❤😊
Sick build and quality shoot 😗🤌
simply beautiful!
Yup like these builds, certainly has built into a nice looking race bike. Good job panda was tied to the bike stand savage brutes when they haven't been fed.
The real Question is... what's Nics watch strap? That thing is dreamy!
Well done guys!! Thats one awesome video! Nic i very good at his job! 👍
Pro Mechanic, Pro Service Bench, Pro Tools. Uses a Pedros multi-tool to build the whole bike!
Satisfying AF
Ow damn, so chill to see
Amazing build! Only thing I would change is set it tubeless and go for the biggest cassette, and obviously a head unit mount. Otherwise I wish that was my bike :)
would be great to have a shot of the cyclsit riding the bike at the end !
Why are the cranks rotating so slowly. Seems like a lot of friction in the BB
I'm sure you wouldn't change your 'job' for the world. Lekker!😁
Serious inner tubes with 404’s 😮
🤔
Absolutely fantastic! VAN RYSEL is my favorite bike brand and RCR is my dream bike. I hope this dream becomes a reality someday. Until then, I ride a heavily modified TRIBAN RC520, which is also a very good bike... By the way.... I use the same watch strap that the mechanic has. It was funny to watch :)
Excellent video, but surely its not a dream build when you are adding Butyl tubes to that set up...
Loved this! That bike looks stunning! If I had the £££ I'd love for Nick to build me a bike!
That is lovely looking
Excellent! More, pretty please!
Sram Red and butyl tubes.
it;s $7K in the US and still not available in Canada yet. I still enjoying my old Tarmac SL2, might looking for an upgrade, the VR RCR may be a good choice.
This is the meditation I needed
Bike build ASMR?!
Awesome video!
is it necessary/recommended to put that foam paper around the seat post when he puts the bike in the clamp?
Looking at all that labyrinthine internal cable routing, I have an inkling that this otherwise beautiful Decathlon will feature in the next Pro Bike Mechanic Nic's most-hated bike products video.
Top video, top quality
I wonder how one of those build videos would feel without the ethereal music in the background, perhaps with some nice electronic dance music? It would set you apart in the genre for sure.
lol what the hell felt like i was in space seeing a bike being put together 🤣😂
Really wonder why the leaver comes premounted with the break cable and NO extra olive. Was in my case too. So you want to assemble your bike an voila you need some extra parts.....🙄
Makes it so much easier when you know the seat height and stack height before the build... Show that and add a spacer to the headset at the end 🤣🤣🤣
Lovely build thanks guys. For everyday riding would the 303 not be a better choice than the 404?
What a beauty bike my dream bike 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🔥🔥
this is one of the best motherfucking videos you've ever put up. that bit at the end was BEAUTIFUL. very well played, detective.
i've seen those builds on jimmi's broadcasts. they are incredible. the lack of words and the ambient are a killer. also: incredibly educational! i just cleared a couple of doubts i had about internal routing... having a crack at it for the first time ever very soon.
thank you for this, man.
🤸🏽
still makes me cry.
is that a butyl tube?
So Nic was away for the official launch, yous "opened" the box when you should have today?? Then this video comes out. Something tells me that box was opened last week 😂
5:42 Grrrrr! We know what you were going to say.
Luv it ❤
Nice bike. Where's the kickstand? One of these days I'm going to ride a bike that is newer than 48 years old.
Love these builds, keep em coming!
Oops, are you supposed to use the DOT grease on the olive, and not the threads of the barb? Guess I screwed that up on my Force install. 😅
If I wanted a bike build video I'd have watched another channel. We're here for you blokes chatting and saying funny stuff. Do it again 😂
Love this video and build but...tubes? Why not tubeless?
Hookless Zipps with inner tube is an interesting choice
Its the best choice.I ride my hookless Zipps with TPU Tubes and it works perfect.And it feels much safer than Tubeless for me.I ride them with 4.3 Bar in the back,4.1bar in Front and had never any Problem.
Nic: "Who needs a torque wrench when they have built hundreds of bikes beforehand?"
Awesome video. Question though - I saw Nic using tire levers to get the tires on. I've heard that's a no-no. Does he use special levers or have a special technique to do that?
DO not copy one thing this guy does! He has a whole wall of pro tools and he building a bike with a multitool!! NO PRO WOULD DO THAT!..then using a tire iron!!! he probably got a manicure and didnt want to mess up his nails..NO PRO WOULD EVER USE A TIRE IRON..EVER..HES EITHER TOO WEAK TO USE HIS HANDS OR TOO DELICATE..YOU DECIDE....never use a tire iron or go to a shop that does..i wouldnt let this guy touch my bike
Nice “German tourist” shoes!! 😂😂
So glad to see Nik clamp frame by top-tube in stand (although briefly) reason i say this is it's perfectly fine if you're sensible, it's not the huge no no the myth has brainwashed us into.
Lovely
Nick and I would be great friends I think.
Never mind the SRAM Red, that Brian Eno esque soundtrack is the "Mutt's nuts" ! Also £3,990 less :)
Isnt the wheels hookless? Running with tubes?
Are the tubes from decathlon as well?
preciosidad❤
Out of curiousity because maybe I am doing it wrong, why do you put the green grease (supposed to be for bearings or moving parts as far as I maybe wrongly have understood) on the bottom bracket? would not be better the anti grip one (white)?
Depends, some people do dry, some people use retaining compound, some use grease... everyone has their own opinion on press fit
Can we talk about the zero float cleats!?
Great bike - less than ave wheels
No tubeless on these awesome hookless designed for tubeless wheels :O
One for me please, thank you 😂😂
niiiice combination
Powermeter crankset and Garmin pedals?
Good looking bike, but personally, I'm done with black on black paint.
"I don't like the idea of Milh-, er, Cade Media having two posts in one day."
what is the final weight of this beautiful beast
what pump chuck was used there at 09:58?
zipp can use inner tube ?
Are those zips hookless?
I'm still waiting for Jimmi to yell some inappropriate things about Ali Express tools from off-screen.
Why would Nick clamp the frame @ the beginning? I'm not a mechanic, but that's not good practice from what I heard.
Can we also get Rad Builds version with heavy metal and Nick ranting ?
Where did you get the frame ?
I can sleep now 😌😴
Only 2 hydraulic hoses 🥵
