Bit boring possibly but this is my first attempt at filming an building myself at the same time and my hands get greasy so captured what I could. Hope you like it and hope my editing skills get better a time go's on.

Why riders hate bright stand-out colors, is vexing. I want people's eyes to gaze upon a glorious rig. They just never forget it, nor the rider. My blue Zaskar LT, was just too-damn-dark. Now in the shop, getting a radical pearl atomic orange with green & ice gray. Most excellent video!
Sounds exciting! Thanks for the view and comment!
Love everything about the build... the frame protection and yellow Fox decals on the fork...awesome!
Pure ASMR - Wicked build mate.
Thanks buddy. It wasn’t as good of a video as I hoped but it was the first. Many more to go haha 😛
Thanks for taking us with you on that build. Enjoyed watching it! Well done!
Going to build the same frame btw ;)
Thanks for the comment, love a good hardtail and when I seen the new Scout in the famous Nukeproof yellow I had to buy it haha. Love going custom too and building it my way. Enjoy your build.
Very nice, watch this 2x now as I prepare to build my bike tomorrow.
Enjoy the build! Always fun building a new bike
@@RichMTB cheers Bud, it's actually a frame swap plus adding a brake upgrade.
Had this one on my list but went with the RSD Middle Child 29 GX 😁
Nice! ...very nice! 😍😍😍
Thank you!
Wow ilike it this bike.....😍🥰
Thank you! It’s a beautiful looking bike.
Lovely bike and build, the scout is a pretty sweet hardtail. I ride an Orange O7 but just ordered an Orange Stage 6 evo which will be my first full sus bike.
Stage 6 will ride sweet! Enjoy!
My favourite Bike
It’s a great bike!
I just got my dream bike last Tuesday ( Kona Cinder Cone) and man after seeing this might be the best looking bike I’ve ever seen. I just not quite to a point of building a custom yet!
I love building them up from the frame, always exciting seeing it come together. Enjoy your new bike and thanks for the view and comment 🙂
nice build!
Thanks! Hopefully have another coming up in the new few weeks
👌nice build👍
Thanks, it’s a looker alright!
@@RichMTB is it a 29er? And is it playfull🤔
@@stevebennett3587 this 1 is a 275 but a mate has the 29er and he loves it.
Great build mate! I've got the black 290 frame ready to build up. Question - when it came to stem spacers, how many (MM) did you use top/bottom? Looked like 20mm under the stem and a fiver on top? I don't know how many i should be using or if it's personal preference etc
I have 25mm below now and 0 on the top now. It’s personal preference to be honest.
Whats the black tubing you are putting around the outer dropper cable? Is it to stop rattles and does if come with the frame? Just about to buy a frame.
Yea it comes with the frame, just protective foam to stop any rattle etc. Hope you enjoy it!
Hey Bud, nice work, can i ask you why you choose 275 over 290?
still can decide if i go 275 or try 29er i had xc bike before 27.5 medium and kinda feel cramped, I'm 5'7 without shoes.
For me I prefer smaller wheels as I feel they are more fun. To me a big 29er (used to have an escarpe 290) take a lot of the joy out of it. If you ride XC or plan to race then 290 is the best choice.
For for someone like me who just likes to mess about and not take things to serious 275 is key. All each to their own and what you intend to use it for.
Starting my build tomorrow.exact same yellow xl scout .
It’s a nice bike man, I love building them. Was easy enough to build, but hard to also do the recording at the same time haha Most of the time I was in the way of the camera. Was missing my personal assistant (wife) 🤣
@@RichMTB you did great 👍
Very nice! What frame size would you suggest for a 6’2 male?
Sorry for the delay, I’m the same height and this is a XL frame.
How many times did it take you to fit that dropper post, I bet the cable fell out of the end of the dropper post in the seat tube when sliding it down inside like it did on me a few times, (**workout your outer cable length first**) your better off laying the dropper post on the rear tyre, cable end of dropper facing towards the handle bars, wrap some masking tape around the dropper post and rear wheel rim to hold it in place on the top of the rear tyre, put the cable threw the frame and gromets fit the dropper end of the cable first while it is still taped to the tyre and then fit the lever on the other end, pull the cable tight and clamp it in the lever,(this keeps the cable tight when sliding the dropper down the seat tube) 🙂, remove the masking tape and slide the dropper post into the seat tube, feeding the cable threw the frame as you go, fit the level on to the handle bars last with the bracket. adjust any slack with the threaded adjuster on the lever, hope this helps everyone with a quick and easy install........
Did the complete headset come with the frame or did you need to purchase anything additional?
Hi, yes the complete headset came with the frame. Sorry for the late reply.
@@RichMTB No worries man thanks for the info. I'm building up a Nukeproof Reactor over the winter so I wanted to make sure I didn't need to buy anything additional headset-wise. Cheers
Have you tried fitting a 29" rear wheel in a Scout 275? Just curious to know if it has enough clearance. The chainsaw length difference in size L is only 7,5mm
Greetings from Munich
I haven’t tried, I only have 27.5” wheels. Not a fan of 29”
@Rich MTB thanks for the quick response, maybe someone else tried it
@@steffgofpv9681 I’ve been asked before so I guess people have done it
How is it going with the 130mm fork just ordered my frame to build up and only have a 130mm fork ATM to fit to it ?
I don’t have any issues with it. Works for me just fine, I just use this as a trail centre bike. If I was to use it at my local forest more I would go with a 150 or even 160.
@Rich MTB perfect Thank-you for the response building up tomorrow 👌🏻 see how I get on
great build but see through stickers over existing looks a bit naff.
Thanks for doing the build vid. Is that a 27.5 frame? and if so do you think it has clearance to run a 29 x 2.35 tyre / wheel in the rear?
27.5 only. They make a 29er frame to run 29”
@@RichMTB Thanks, I realize there's a 29er frame but im looking for a frame with less bb drop and if a 29 fits in the 27.5 frame then this might be what im looking for. It looks like the extra 20mm wheel radius will fit but it could be the camera tricking the eye
@@velomech8139 need to remember even if it fits you need room for debris etc to travel through that the tyre will pick up. I would just avoid if it was me to be honest.
@@RichMTB fair call. thanks mate
@@RichMTB 27.5 in what size, Mate?
Hy, is it a 12v crankset ? Or 11v ? Thanks. And why did you choice 275 ? I.m hesitate
This is a 12 speed crankset
@@RichMTB thank you, i thought it would not work with the 12. And why did you take the 275 ? I hesitate…
@@jlndnx86 to me 29 take the fun out of the ride. I don’t care for going faster and faster on my bike. I just want a laugh and to enjoy, to me smaller wheels is better for that.
When you clamp your bars, even out the space when you bolt it down. Less stress
The Nukeproof stem is designed for no gap at the top instead of the standard even spacing.
Hi. Sweet bike! You are a tall guy. Why did you not get 29 frame? Cost of frame? And where did you get fork decals? Thanks.
I don’t really like 29ers I feel they are more for racing. I just like to have fun and play about and feel 27.5 is perfect for that. Yep the decals are from slick graphics.
@@RichMTB IC May i ask what you paid for the frame?
@@koreanmtnbiker2931 I am staff so we get our own staff prices. Sorry.
pls send me the link where I can avail this awesome frame. thanks
Can get it here: www.chainreactioncycles.com/nukeproof-scout-275-alloy-mtb-frame-2022/rp-prod205765
nice bike! what size wheels?
Thanks, it’s 27.5 front and rear.
Where did you buy the protective decal?

Thank you br
Hey man, how tall are you? These new Scout dimensions are sketchy for us in between sizes :D Nice build!
I 188cm and bought the XL. I always look at it as, if between sizes, size down for fun and size up for comfort.
@@RichMTB Hi, I am almost the same height - 187cm and I just wonder if I should go for XL or L size. What is your style of riding? At this moment I have NS Surge L size frame and I feel it way to short for me (reach 409,0 mm). When I ride it with the seat at the max height I feel like I am sitting on the bike, not in the bike. I want from the bike to be playfull and aggresive in the bikeparks but comfortable to go for a ride in the forest. Let's say I could sacrafice the comfort for better handling in the bikeparks. What is your opinion about your frame size after that time? Is it ok for you? Not to big?
@@bartoszzarychta9632 go with the XL bud. I want my bike to remain fun and in charge of it and not it in charge of me. The L would be way to small for me, like you describe. The XXL would then be too big. Perfect for me the XL.
@@RichMTB Hey, thanks for the quick reply ; )) I will do like you suggest.
That frame is an XL? Dude, it looks tiny 😮
Hey can you share the link about the frame kit?
Sure, this is it here: brink.uk/dyedbro-dia-de-muertos
Is Nukeproof Scout a trail bike? Thanks in advance!
I’ve built this up as a trail bike but can also be used as XC or Enduro depending on how you build.
@@RichMTB Ah, copy! That's interesting! I like that the frame is flexible depending on the build intent.
Thank you for responding, kind Sir!
Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines! #KeepBiking
Hi Rich, if not mistaken, you work for Nukeproof or did. So wondering if you could help me? Nukeproof site only has it in small, I'm 5'6-5'7, will a small be to small? I seen the size chart, but im kinda in between sizes I guess. I want something playful! I currently have a Axum 29er in med and it's just to big for me. Ty for any help. Ps Your NP is SICK 🔥 I see chainractions also has it but like $100 more to ship over Nukeproof.
For something more playful sizing down is better if between the sizes. I always size down if I am ever between. One time I bought a cube and sized up and hated it. Was terrible, like trying to ride a barn door down the trails.
Sadly today is the last day of the Scout being built, it’s being listed for sale soon but with a different built kit.
@@RichMTB gotcha 👍🏻 Ty... You getting another bike? Also who makes the protective wrap for the frame?
@@mikeburgh3956 Yes mate, My Mythique is arriving today with me and i am going to do a frame swap on it. So all the parts on this build is going to be used on the Mythique and vice versa. The hardtail is too rough on my leg which I broke a few years back pretty badly, so I fancy a short fravel FS instead. The frame protection on this was from www.dyedbro.com
@@RichMTB Ty brother! Can't wait to see the new rig.....
You install a 32t chainring ? Or how many ?
This is a 30T chainring
@@RichMTB thank you 👏
Literally the only part I needed on this video was covered by hands 😂
Haha oh no. What part?
Please sell me that bike it's my dream bike 😂
It’s a nice bike, hope you get 1.
Frame size please
This is a XL frame.
@@RichMTB thank you man for the reply...planning to order now @wiggle....ride safe
@@zalvaje42 sweet man, they ride well! Enjoy! 🙏
