XC Dream Build on a Budget, For Myself

In today's #dreambuild I have a cracked Turner Czar #mtb and we’re going to make it better. This time, the bike I’m building will be for myself. Due to some financial hardships, I’ve recently had to sell off my dream bike, so today’s build is my effort to build a budget replacement with which I can be happy, which is light enough to race, but which I will have spent as little possible money to build.
The other thing different on this build is that I will be attempting to use #cerakote to paint it. This was my first try with Cerakote and far from perfect. But I learned a lot and hope to improve next time.

Love like dis
Maybe it's a video a month, but I'm glad to know that it will arrive, excellent build
It'd be awesome to hear more about the technical side! I'd also like to know about the the carbon repair. And do you have any videos about how you paint your frames? I love watching your builds.
killer build and very well-made video to accompany it; thanks for sharing!
Man, this is one of the best MTB videos I've seen in a long time. The quality of your craftmanship, video, and keeping things straight to the point without any of the UA-camr nonsense that is cluttered on this site is 10 out of 10. Thank you. Subscribed for sure.
The amount of work my guy. Your builds and everything are outstanding and lovingly being put together, what a great channel
Sick build! I love the frame. Lots of technical detail on carbon repair, cerakote, wheel building and other stuff I probably didn’t realize. Seemed like a lot of high end components for a “budget” build, but it is sweet!
Another video for the collection! Thanks again for making it and the decals on the bike look sweet! Noticed the action cam mount too I should look out for those as my new roadie has a silly square stem
Great build as always 🤙 that paintjob is awesome. Looking forward to your next build.
Great channel! I’m loving the edits, music and builds! That smoke with the stranger things at the end was awesome! The pixelated graphics and colors are great! Keep ‘em flowing
Dude. That colours scheme is just perfect. Nice work!
Great project!
I'm building a '99 C'dale F900 commuter E-bike at the moment, Hope hubs, 4p calipers and floating discs, Mavic XM719 rims with Schwalbe City Jets, Shimano XT, Thomson seat post, Sella Italia Flite Ti and the Bafang BBSHD with a 14S9P triangle battery. Its Coda Magic crank moved over to my '94 F700.
Really beautiful bike!
Thanks for sharing.
Awesome as always!
great build and loved watching the video!
Looks amazing!! You Rock💯
I love the colors!
Turned out amazing....wasn't sure about the pink at first but it works 🙂
Awesome repair and rebuild of this bike!
I really enjoy the realness of your videos. While putting the crank on and your kid yelling in the background and you saying “hey, why are you yelling?” Reminds me of when I try and do something in my own house 😂
Great work, Amazing bike!
Very interested in the technical aspect please consider sharing thanks happy holidays.
Nice work man👍👍👍
Man!..That paintjob is so cool!.. great work!
Just the right amount of accent colours👍Love the retro gaming images.🎉
Awesome build. Great work.👍
nice build bro. great work.
Those digital ATARI-motives are really giving a knitted sweater vibe for some reason 😁
Maybe it's the washed pink color together with the matte black haha, no shade though, cool build looks sick👌
Omg! Insane!
Sweet bike love it
Very nice build i love the paint job
keep it up 👍
Nice work and a nice bike 😊👍🏻👍🏻
This bike is sick as is your talent sir 👍
Fixing that crack was pretty slick. I'm not experienced with carbon fiber I'd have a mess 😂 now Aluminum, Steel, Titanium no sweat. Excellent job man, bike looks awesome
Found this channel while stumbling on your video on your other channel about switching from Fuji to Canon.
As an avid MTB enthusiast and photographer I found THE channel for me.
Great work bro, this was soothing to the soul
Big ups and a SUB 🤙🤜🤛
Awesome, thank you!
that bike is clean af
Nice...! Ride Safe...
Nice Budget build!
Very nice build 🔥 New subscriber here 👌
I don't know if the Candy's have the same reputation that the Egg Beaters do, but my first clipless pedals where Egg Beater 1's. After a couple of years the bearings started getting crunchy and I learned that they aren't replaceable. I replaced them with Egg Beater 3's and they have been stellar. It took 5 years for the bearings to start getting sloppy. Still rolled fine, just a little loose. The rebuild kit was pretty cheap and I had fresh pedals after 20 minutes of replacing the bearings.
Thanks for the info!
Usually with carbon or fiberglass work if it’s a structural part that’s cracked you wanna take a dremel with an engraver or grinding stone and chisel out the cracked area until you no longer see the hairline crack just to further strengthen the crack
That is 99% awesome (minus 1% for the off-color bottle cage) ... but srsly - love it!
I believe the cage color is to flow with the red on shock
It does look like the cage matches the ring on the shock. He definitely has the tools and attention to detail to not miss that, but I see both sides. I think it was intentional.
Will that repair hold up for long & hold up against stresses of riding it on tracks & doing some jumps ?
Forgot to add, amazing work on the restoration / Dream bike build. Looks so amazing.
Nice
I had a Czar, those bikes were ahead of there time geometry wise.
100%
Good mr
Looks awesome! How many hours of work did that take?
Do you plan to do a review/ riding video of this? I'm very interested in the frame you've chosen or others you'd recommend. For reference, my current bikes are a new domane and a rigid steel specialized hard rock. Also, where did you educate yourself on the carbon repair? Would you share sources? Thank you and loved the pink.
Yeah, I'm gonna do a technical follow up for sure. I'll respond to your questions in that.
my gosh the the fork alone could get me a a brand new fully build mtb like that except for the custom paint and stuff in my country thats 120k
Huge fan of your work
So loveley
Maybe another 90 s build?
Sorry for my bad english
Greets from germany
Nice build 👍🏼,was the pepto bismol a primer or paint?
😂 Primer isn't used in cerakote
I have the same bike, and I was curious if you've tried installing a Slak-R to update its geometry. What are your thoughts? I'm 5'9", riding a medium frame. My concern is, it'd change my reach a bit too much...
Cool build.
Although, I have no knowledge on carbon crack repairs, will that repair hold up to drops?
So far, yes. :)
@@BuildaBetterBike good to know. Keep shredding, Let's Ride
Is the shimano oil in those sram brakes still working? Im really courios about. I have "shigura" with magura oil and it works absolutely fine
These are the new Sram DB8s which use mineral oil. :)
Where did you get those bare UD carbon bars? Also the tranzx dropper is very good for the value
The bars came from DIYcarbon
Besides filling the repair, hole, with epoxy and bits of carbon fiber did you add layers of c.f. covering the hole? I would think that would distribute stress to a wider area.
Yes, certainly.
Pretty new into bike build videos, have to say though, I really enjoyed this. Caught myself a few times bobbing my head and wandering if this bike trailed a light wall 😂 Beautiful bike and great video. Happily subscribed.
Question, sir. I've heard that sand blasting isn't a good idea for carbon frames. I too am not interested in sanding an entire frame. Painful. Did you use very low pressure or a low density media material? Details please. Thank you. Your videos are great!
Thanks David. You need to be incredibly careful media blasting carbon. I use walnut shells (which are harder than paint, but softer than carbon) and lower PSI. Even still, it's important to be careful. And you will also strip the filler primer, which there is a lot of on carbon.
Rear triangle was my whole bike lol
hello, I have a question, what are the colored discs? and will the color stay after 500 km? ???Thank you
What are your thoughts on something like the Chris King Inset 8, or Cane Creek ZS44/28.6 EC44/40. That way you can put any tapered fork into a straight 1 1/8" head tube. I just found myself an '08 Gary Fisher Superfly, that I'm figuring out how to build out, and didn't want to limit myself to just one front shock since I need a straight tube, and a 51mm offset.
I used an FSA tapered adapter in my last build. I'm a fan because it also slackens things out a bit.
@@BuildaBetterBike Good to know. I was concerned because I'm looking for a 51mm offset fork to go along with the Superfly, since that was stock. Don't want too much slack.
10 bucks on amazon xD 6:00 it got me
I know the matt finish is cool, but I would have to clear coat it. I already see paint chips during the build.
Not sure what you're seeing. There are no paint chips. Definitely there are imperfections in the carbon. It doesn't go on as thick as powder coat, like I'm used to and I probably should have used filler primer. But no chips. Even after several rides and being hard on it. I'm really impressed with the durability of cerakote so far.
You should make a koozer hubs review, I can't find a good one
I'm not the best at reviews, but I could try
Hey mate, just have a Bearing press question as I've been needing to get one. Is the press you use the Staright cycle bearing press from Amazon? If so, happy with the quality?
This guy. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B083RC4G1K?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Nothing special but does the job
@@BuildaBetterBike thanks!
Hey how are the hubs holding up so far? Thanks
Perfect
I'm ordering pink koozer hubs
I think you are the only person in existence to use those Sram DB brakes.
Haha. Which might explain the deal I got
@@BuildaBetterBike do they work good?
nice build, maybe i would have tried to get rid of more of the battle scares on the frame, before paint. but thats just my ocd;)))
They weren't battle scars, they are imperfections in the carbon usually hidden by filler primer from the original paint. That is one thing I didn't realize about cerakote. It doesn't hide imperfections at all. I'm used to powder coating which does.
Whats the name of the thing that comes on the fork first?
Star nut
18:58 LMAO
?
@@BuildaBetterBike someone is screaming 🤣
Very good work and I see you tried very hard but in all honesty I can’t see that repair being very strong and definitely not strong enough for hitting rocks or landing small jumps. The crack runs deep and completely through the carbon so just putting resin on the outside and a few mm deep won’t give the frame it’s strength back. If that bike is used hard it’s going to crack again and I’d be scared to ride it fast off-road.
So far, so good.
make the metal logo pink pls
It's carbon frame?right
Yup
Nice build, hope that repairs lasts. Never do get you guys, weight weenying your bikes to loose a couple pounds, when you have an easy 15-20lbs on your body you could loose for free, that's more than 1/2 the weight of the complete bike and you'll notice where it counts most in racing XC, on the climbs.
Not sure I would describe myself as a weight weenie. I totally agree with you about body weight. I've said the same thing many times.
Funny story I had a tuner 5 spot and it got stolen from me. But than I found the same bike on OfferUp not my bike that was stolen but same bike frame etc. crazy
31:27 never understood this. the factory grease on most chains (shimano, sram, and kmc) is actually really good. I always let it wear out then clean up the chain and apply my preferred lube.
No, the factory grease is horrible. Picks up absolutely everything on the trail and cakes to it like glue. It's important to use the type of lube appropriate for the type of trails you do. For me, that means wax-based.
Could you make me anime inspired custom build? Lol, that'd be cool
🤔 I'm not much into anime. Is there a specific one you think would be good for inspiration?
@@BuildaBetterBike man that's a hard question but the only thing that comes to mind in terms of a definitive pattern, is Demon Slayer, the main character Tanjiro, his clothes. It's a black and green checkered pattern. That would look so dope on a bike 😁
be careful with the oil slick rotors. they have a tendancy to catch fire
alike1000
This build is cool an all but you left the frame scuffed with deep holes in it. If you went through all this effort to do this work you should make sure its done correctly or its wasted time!
And this is why you never buy used carbon frames. Holy shit.
Why? It's running awesome. Never been happier with a frame
You said budget xc bike, we couldn't see how much is your budget and couldn't see it's weight
Give me 1 cycle
Nice video and I enjoy many of your builds. I think this video can be a bit misleading in how to repair carbon and "make it better". Might want to leave that repair to the professionals...
I'd put my DIY Carbon repairs up against many "pro" jobs I've seen. Scary stuff out there. My repairs may be DIY, but they do the job. Never had any issues with them
@@BuildaBetterBike Having worked with composite materials for many many years in aircraft maintenance. I will say just this about what I saw.. I'd trust your repair enough to ride it.👍
On a secondary note, I'd love to hear how well the SRAM DB8 brakes work. I've been considering buying them for my next bike project and would love some feedback on how they perform from someone other than the typical bike parts reviewers.
@@That_Stealth_Guy but not enough to fly it! ;) I can definitely give you my thoughts on those DB8s in a follow up video I'll probably do.
Budget? LOL!
Go watch a few Gee Milner builds and then come back.
Used fork and crank, 11-speed rear derailleur, self-built wheels with Light Bicycle rims ... Everything here is high quality but not expensive.
it's nice looking but not a big fan of plastic bikes
Yeah. Rubber bikes are best.
@@BuildaBetterBike Nothing personal friend. I just ride a little to hard for those kind of bikes. I like titanium, but steal is hard to beat.
@@WilliamEllison You are joking right?!?!?!? Many rampage and pro DH bikes are 'plastic' and they hold up to riders 100's of times better than you (or I) could dream of being. But steel is real and titanium is sick
I hate mountain bikes!
Yeah fk those things brah
What is weight and cost?
Кузер страшная боль,лучше втулки diamondblack or fastech, очень дешевые крутые втулки!
