The Tale of a Very Realistic Bike Build: Binary Maniak
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 січ 2023
- Sometimes building a complete bicycle from the ground-up is a very Zen experience. Other times you're dropping parts, nothing fits, you don't have the right tools, you have to make a run to the shop, and it takes 10x longer than you planned. In this episode you can witness the latter. Despite the challenges we faced on this build we still had a ton of fun with it and ultimately got to film this Hardcore Hardtail's inaugural trail ride.
In this video I'm riding my Dawley Eponym (www.dawleybikes.com) equipped with Berd Spokes' TR30 wheels. (berdspokes.com/collections/be...)
Theres some crazy camera work in this video so bare with me as I try some new things.
Huge thanks to Sperbs for letting me document the chaos and blast it on Shredding Spree.
Also big ups to my Shredding Spree supporters:

Great vid, very entertaining. Pro tip for those building one. Don't put your finger in the finger-slicer bb hole. Instead, turn the frame upside down and drop a string with a weight on the end. It'll come out the seat tube that way and nobody loses a finger.
Great video, great riding boys! I can't wait to reconnect on the trails sometime.
Some people just like to live dangerously Steve! Thanks for watching!
Let’s ride soon!
I just ordered one also, can't wait!
Man!! Love this video! Can’t stand those- hi-rez bike build videos- that are all “perfect” with that “coffee house” feel, when we all know real life never works that way!! Especially working on bikes!!! And loved the Segway to the trails to end it! Awesome job!! 😂 oh And hit me up I have another care package for you!!
It's great to see a binary maniac being built. @hardtailparty designed an amazing bike!
Great bike, great ride and great music!
Keep that hardtail content coming!
More to come!
That’s what it’s all about right there ! Fun , great banter and friends …. Nice
You got that right!
Great to see another Chris on a Maniak with a Pike Ultimate fork. I've been loving mine despite all the rain we've had in San Diego limiting my riding as well.
Awwwwwesome vid, Chris!
Totally the opposite of a Gee Milner build video but exactly how every bike I have built has gone. The bike looks fantastic but I do like your Dawley even more. Thanks for the video and looking forward to more. 👍
We can’t all be Gee Milner!
This is one of my dream bikes. When/if orders open back up, I’m getting a frame. Dope vid 🤙🏽. This is pretty much how my SuperX build went when I first put it together 😂
Very fun and exciting video. Those trails are beautiful too. It’s so cool seeing that “Hardtail Party” Binary Maniac in the wild and so nice that it’s to someone who is returning to riding a hardtail bike.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool vid, good to see a riders impression of the bike. I built mine up no issue, other than getting that dropper cable up the seattube. Gonna get myself a 130mm Pike Ultimate to replace my Yari this summer. Sadly, haven't had a shakedown ride yet. Weather has all trails closed for weeks now. Dying to get a ride in on mine.
You see that titanium hardtail, you know you're a man of class...... a man who appreciates the finer things.... ya.
You get my vote for outro of the year.
😂 it’s true isn’t it?!
Nice meeting you today man! Love the content and the vibe
Great meeting you too man! Fun laps! Keep killing it!
I feel your pain on the bad weather. It’s been horrible where I live. But building a bike is always a good way to spend a day 🤘🏻
Honestly, I can’t complain too much about weather. I’m in southern CA where there is no off season 🤪
Just shows how spoiled we are when we complain about a few weeks of rain here and there..
Oh heck yeah I was looking at this bike and I just fell in love with hardtails again. Alright I'll shut up and watch the build haha
Haha, Enjoy the chaos!
YESSSS another dope hardtail video. Just waiting patiently for my custom steel frame to arrive now haha
Tell me about this frame. 👀 want to build it on camera? 🤣🤣
@@ShreddingSpree haha it’s a custom geo steel frame from Marino Bikes in Peru. Hoping for all good things. Frame is powder pink and i’m gonna put silver components all over it. I do intend on filming some or all of the build process haha
@@ashercrump4384 nice! I want to see it when it’s done!
You fellers should have gone with a 7000 series aluminum Thomson Elite post and stem or their 3/2.5 Titanium post with their Titanium riser bars 🤘🤘
You had me a at full rigid surly.
Great review! I really dislike people that pass along crap parts.
looks fun. If I start by my house I could go up Wilson Truck road, down Los Pinetos to Placerita, but then...up the Beast and then down Wilson...omg epic.
Sounds like some elevation!!
This is at how all the “Dream Build” bike videos really go,,, they just edit everything out 😂 👍🏻
True story!
Mine is in the mail!
Sweet! Congrats! Gorgeous frame!
I built mine up and was surprised to see it was close to 2 degrees slacker than I expected. I still love the bike, but did install an angle adjust headset to steepen it up a bit.
Yeah Sperbs spec’d his with a 140mm fork and it looks slack as hell. We didn’t measure it though
How did you measure and what was the result? How slack?
@@MMcG25 Mine was a tick over 62* with a new Pike Ultimate 140.
@@tommyr95 damn
May I ask if you also measured/calibrated the flat ground, & measured also the effective seat tube with the Pike Ultimate please?
The Binary Maniak geo charts state that "dimensions are using an unsagged 29er 120mm fork and 29 x 2.3 wheels and tires";
maybe the extra 20mm in fork travel affects effective angles 7 measurements?
Fun video, it’s probably a lot closer to real life than you’ll see elsewhere. A little concerned not hearing the words anti-seize on a Ti build.🤔
Stay tuned for the sequel where we have to get the headset cups machined out! 😜
Wait.. you have friends that ride Levo’s??? J/k dying of laughter reliving that build 😂.
Great job capturing the vibe of that afternoon perfectly.
“SHUT UP, DOUG!!!”
-Sperbs
@@ShreddingSpree “They don’t even match dude”
That was a really good mix of footage. Are you still riding the EVO?
I’m Having a ton of fun on the hardtail lately but I still love my stumpy evo too!
I miss this trail :(
It’s the only place to ride out here right after the rain
@@ShreddingSpree Tapia Canyon is my go to now, you can ride those trails all day.
5:27it's best to have the brake hose behind the leg, to protect it. less likely to puncture the hose.
8:13 which seat post clamp is that? I've not seen this one before.
It’s from binary
very cool! HAHA THAT MIC LOOKS SLICK!
Great stuff homie! Thanks for the loan!
Pittie baby is tryna help u put on the forks lol
That’s Millie. She’d be a great mechanic if she had thumbs
6:38 Backwards does not matter, it's Sram lever so you can flip it over without disconnecting the hose. I run brake at the right. But as I too have flip flop levers I can flip them over. I have Formula Cura 4, great brakes apart from the lever blade using plastic bushing that wears in few hundred km. SO will get RG Bikecomponents lever blade upgrade. Bearings 👌
It does matter when the hose is connected.
@@ShreddingSpree of course you might need to cut the zip ties off, but as long as it's not internal routing that's not an issue, so just putting the lever trough the front triangle and reattaching. problem solved. so if you do this mistake and don't want to disconnect it after you got a perfect bleed, this works.
what trail is this? it looks familiar to me.
The trail is called Los Pinetos 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Where's Steve at in the comments 🧐. Looking forward to the build.
He’s probably ashamed at how much we flubbed up the build. 🤣
Let me sub, because this video is bonkers. HT❤
Straight head tube? I thought Steve said the BM was gonna be a tapered head tube.
I didn’t catch Steve saying that but they detail the necessary headset options on the Binary site.
That looks real fun & has me excited to ride my hardtail this weekend. Which trails/network are these?
The trail is called Los Pinetos and it’s located in Newhall, CA.. about 30 min north of Los Angeles
@@ShreddingSpree Oh nice, I'll have to check it out when it's not 90°+ in DTLA. I take it's the black trail & not the blue trail(start looks a bit hard to get to?)?
@@Alex_564 yes, trail forks has it marked as a black trail but I’d say it’s a solid blue. It has a few steeps spots and a couple rough spots however in my opinion it’s only difficult if you’re going fast.
The climb is a little tough. It’s called the beast because it’s so long with minimal protection from the sun. The trail is worth the cost of admission though.
@@ShreddingSpree Oh nice. Looks like I'll check it out in the fall. Have you done the section rated blue, is that also worth it?
@@Alex_564 I have not and actually don’t know anyone who has. That section drops down the south side of that ridge toward Sylmar. You’d have to climb the mountain again to get back to your car.
What size is the frame and how tall is Spurbs?
He’s 5’11” on a size large. He consulted with Steve from Hardtail Party on patreon about it before ordering.
@@ShreddingSpree Great info for comparisons. I'm 6' evenly split between torso and legs. I filled out Binary's size form and spoke with George (@ Binary). I almost ended up with a M/L, but I also consulted Steve who STRONGLY recommended a Large. As this video shows, there are plenty of opportunities to drop the ball on a bike build (LOL), I'm glad I didn't blow it right from the jump by getting the wrong size!
Was his frame made correct? I’ve seen a lot of people having 2-3 deg slacker head angle than it’s supposed to be. Better in my opinion but not what people paid for.
We never actually measured the HTA but it definitely appeared to be more slack than expected. Sperb has since dropped the fork down to 130mm and he likes it more.
Any chance he can measure it with 130 on there? I am supposed to get my frame next month and am debating on angle adjustment headset. I have a 130 fork and really don’t want to be steeper then 65 degrees
The guy on the patio watching lmfao
Where is that trail?
It’s called Los Pinetos. It’s in Newhall CA. Climb starts just off the 14 freeway at newhall Ave.
How tall are you? What size did you order? I am 5’9” and just ordered a medium
Spurbs is 5’11” and rides a large.
did NOT see actual use of torque wrench LOL
😂😂😂 don’t worry, the bike hasn’t exploded yet
Putting Orange Seal in my tires is a 2 day ordeal and a 12 pack... maybe a shot or two mixed in. Then, it just clicks. Done and too drunk to ride.
You’d fit in around here just fine!
@@ShreddingSpree It's like cooking with "spirits." Sometimes ya gotta sample the whiskey.
Prostate exam = dropper cable routing
We do it all in this garage!
Pretty sure that dropper is on backwards
🤣 I screen shotted your comment and sent it to Sperbs (who is out of town). His response: “I’ll toss and turn all night thanks for that 🤣”
@@ShreddingSpree 😂😂 glad I could help! That bike looks amazing tho, I'm very jealous
You know you can save the money on that STFU trinket by going single speed. Just saying…
And the dropper is in backwards, classic “can’t wait to ride this thing”mishap!
You’ve got all the answers! You should be Spurbs’ MTB advisor! 🤣🤣
PS- he’s since fixed the dropper
Should anodize some colour to the frame. Those decals are ug.
I think you must be referring to the decals on the fork lowers(?) they’ve since been replaced to silver
6:29 Ingest it? I don't think that's a good idea.
That’s not meant to be take literally.
@@ShreddingSpree What about using it as hair gel?
@@mtbboy1993 I endorse that 100% 😜
