Ooohhh yes! Been waiting for this one since you’ve announced the build on the other channel! It’s so satisfying building up a frame from zero! Awesome looking bike you’ve got there Syd!
Full xt and fox build out, immaculate paint job, that's the most. Amazing. Bike. Ever. Keep being awesome!
Its probably the best tutorial on building a bike from ground up,from scratch . Thank you. You made it easy,understandable and most importantly ,informative. Exactly how a tutorial and info should be. 🥰. So now i will follow this very close so even a swedish knucklehead like me understands. I think many other chanels should learn ftom you on how to make a tutorial. :) thank you.
I just started my interest into mountain biking and this channel came highly recommended.
This build was a great watch.
You two are a great partnership with a wealth of knowledge.
Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks Syd, I learned another thing today with the old cable in the cable housing to make that sharp turn, very good.
Between your vids and a lot of knowledge from my mechanic friend, I took on my first ever frame up build this winter. After a couple days I managed to get it done and your vids really helped me out a lot! Thanks for starting this channel 🤘
Congrats!!
I'm glad I was recommended your channel today. Sat through 1 hour video. This is the first video I watched and learnt a lot. Subbing to show my love to both of you. Much appreciated all the tips and tricks.
Wow!!! Great to see you guys again
Oh yash! Been waiting for this one. Absolutely love the bike and its story 😍
This is one fantastic looking frame!! WOOW! Macky says he is a liitle bit jealous ... I'm jealous big time! 😁 Enjoy riding it, Syd!
Trying to do more of my own maintenance and this video is perfect. I now have a feel for changing all the major bike components. I'll be changing my bottom bracket this week. Plan on installing new hydraulic brakes on an older bike with mechanical brakes. I really enjoyed the technical level and pace of the video. Keep adding to this channel. Thx Mac
Beautiful paint job on the frame. Too cool Syd!
Man that bike is so beautiful! Congrats and thanks for making these build videos. Makes normal people like me feel empowered to learn and do cool things!
Nice to see you guys back on this channel and yes, that paint job still blows my mind! Shout out to the Niner designer!, not many bikes top that IMHO
Thanks for what is likely the most comprehensive bike building instructional clip!
I looked up xpedo because those pedals actually look awesome and the first picture on their site was you and Macky. Love the bike too, having a custom personalized paint job must feel awesome
Finally! Been waiting all Sunday for this build ♥️
Wow! What a beautiful bike! Great job on the build.
That frame is an absolute work of art! I love it and I want one!
Absolutely love watching bike builds like I love pal like the videos like almost an hour long it kept me entertained with a lot of information It was just enjoyable .
Great build video :) I am envious to two things... the bike of course, and having Macky looking over my shoulder saying, "wait, put grease on that" or "wait, it's upside down"... ;)
Awesome video, great job thank you both.
Now the paint scheme , wow, beautiful colors and not too bold or overpowering. Just a great build
Excellent tutorial for all those diyers. High quality sound and vision. Brilliant.
Happy to see yaaaaa!!!!
Always good to see you.
Nice vid. Favorite part is the installation of the second brake lever, around min. 34:28. Love those "Click", "Snap", "Clonk" fast paced cut video sections. #thumbsup
We missed you! Yay!
What a beauty of a bike ! The only thing that I don't like personally is the small brake disc upfront , because with a bigger disc you have way more sensitivity to it . Have fun !
Great Vid👍And Bike Is Ace, Nice to see You Two Back And Well ,Building up a Bike Is Very Much a Thing of Joy Once its Done
Just awesome! Learned a trick or two - thank you
Nice end of the weekend :) was waiting for it. That awesome paintjob... Been thinking days what this would cost :)
Oh geez, UA-cam is on point, I just saw the video where she received it and I was bummed I didn't get to see the story continue. Lucky me!
What a fantastic build, hoping to get bikes like this in the future💖💖
Yay, makes me want to go and tinker my own bike! Nice build!
Hooray! Nice build by two savvy builders...
I stripped a couple crank axles like that one with small splines. I "upgraded" to the type of axle spline that has smooth swoopy crank to axle interface but the drive side worked itself off after 50 miles and doesn't have clamps, it was pressure fit. I drilled and filed a square hole in the center of the crank side, used a 3/8" carriage bolt, a union nut, and a hex keyed countersunk bolt with washer pulling in from the other side. Crimp the thread on the carriage bolt at the depth you want the union nut to stop at.
Re: tubeless.....
I ran tubeless for a season, with a Stan's kit. But before all that, I did an experiment -- I coated the inside of my tires with automotive fix-a-flat, and let it air-dry (an hour or so).
Absolutely airtight. Went over 5 weeks without needing even 5 psi of top-off.
Only did it the one season because my bottle of Stan's got destroyed, and feeding 6 kids was a higher priority.
I have a compressor, but no adapter for Presta valves, so I just use a hand pump to seat tubeless tires. I wanted to make sure I could do it any time, anywhere. The key is to just take a strap of some kind, even a piece of rope will do, and bind the tire right down the center. It will seat with just a couple of pumps. Pop the rope/strap off and finish pumping. No big deal.
Beautiful bike btw, I love it!
The commentary and filming are refreshingly raw, quite a step away from the heavily produced bike build vids.
The frame is beautiful 🤩
Missed you fixing bikes!!!! Hope you guys are having a good time settling into the new place.
Awesome colours on the bike. Nice bikebuild
assembly compound is always of use when doing such builds too! 👍
Im a newbie with mtb this inspired me a lot! I see so much joy when u build this . But then when i took a look at all the prices damn my heart droped so expensive but so beautiful . All i can afford now is a trek marlin 5 . Hope some day i can build or even just have some of the upgrades that you have done. Sick build i love it so beautifu!
That frame! Love your channel so much and shes so lovely 😊
Yesss. I love the long videos! :)
Lining the tire logo up with the valve stem is definitely a thing. I do the same thing (sorta) with cars - the manufacturer logo on the wheel needs to be right-side up with the valve stem at 6 o'clock on the wheel.....and the locking lug nut goes opposite the valve stem.
You've reminded me that I need to bleed the old-school Hayes brakes on my vintage 4 Banger......
Congratulations on the move!
sweet bike! great build video as always
She’ back baby!! 🥰
so first time to see hydraulic brakes done on a bike. simple tiny plumbing compression fittings. cool!
I never use star bits in forks as they're crap.
I've found a while back that there is a skewer nut which will go all the way through the centre of the forks head tube and screws into a nut inserted into the bottom of the forks head tube pulling the whole top half firmly down.
That way, you know, when you're tightening it up, you are actually tightening it up and not simply pulling the star nut up.
Also, what a few companies are doing these days is to use that idea but instead of just a straight bolt through skewer, the top half is actually a mini trail-tool.
I believe OneUp have recently changed the design of their headtube mounted toolkit system to this sort of design too...which is a whole lot better than their previous method of having to tap some threads into the top of your fork's head tube.
This way, you still have options rather than bunging a semi-difficult/damaging to remove and annoying to fit in any case star nut...which basically always works loose in any case.
Beautiful frame!
After you tighten the crank arm pinch bolts you want to check for any play in the crank spindle. If there's play, you'll want to loosen the pinch bolts and then using the BeCraFTS tool to adjust the spindle endcap bolt until there is no more play and the cranks spin relatively freely.
That bike is insanely cool.
What a beautiful looking bike.
that was a beatiful bike!!! love it!!
More of this Syd !
some very very nice work! greetings from Argentina
lol, a while back in the late 2000's, I bought a super lightweight CF seat post which I overtightened. At that young age, torque meant nothing. I went ridding and 5 minutes into the trail, the seat post snapped, leaving a sharp piece of CF pointing straight up. I had to pedal out of saddle for a half hour to get home. That same day, I bought a torque wrench.
Beautiful bicycle and wonderful video!
Awesome!!!!
Beautiful beautiful paint work!!!! Kudo's to Niners painter. Years and years ago I painted. Back then the only way to get that much gloss and depth was multiple layers of hand rubbed lacquer. I'm sure paint technology has gotten better, but still a beautiful job and I'm sure there's still plenty of labor involved to get such a nice end product.

Killer paint!
I need one of those BB wrenches! This looks so sick^^
Every single time Syd brings up Macky mess up a fork, i bet she really enjoys telling the story….🤣🤣🤣
Rear wheel then check the drl hanger to make sure it is straight. Great video
The paint is spectacular, very beautiful frame, very good choices of parts (i would use 160mm disc on the rear but i respect the 180) congrats!
2 years ago I cut my new RockShox SID ($875) too short. Ahaaaaaa!! It was devastating! When I marked the cut line on the tube then cut it off, I realized there were 2 lines on the tube - and one was a “False Line” caused by whatever caused it in the fitting process. Anyway, I cut on the wrong line and made it 2 inches too short. I ended up buying a new steerer tube and having by local shop install it. $400 later, I got a 2nd chance. Now I have the most expensive RockShox SID in the world.
Easy done. 🇬🇧 👍
Honestly, I don't think I have seen a prettier frame. So well done and we'll designed. Syd, fantastic seeing you get r done and putting together your own rig. Never fails that there is still an element of realness even in a bike build vid, to show the challenges one might face in doing a full build. Appreciate the thoroughly done build project, and the helpful commentary from you both. Macky, maybe a reverse paint job of the same pattern for your next ride???
Locktite stuff that you fit and forget about and then grease stuff that you may need to adjust whilst out and about or for like bike pack/ travel manoeuvres. Basically stuff you need access to, to amend or modify
Pipe cutters take twice as long but do a much better job of a clean cut on forks.
Pro tip: Shove a small rag into the bottom of the fork crown. This will catch all of the saving and prevent them from falling into your fork seals.
Thank you! I love your videos so much. I have to say you're hella badass, so I seriously doubt you're a whimp. 🖤
Welcome back.
Might be worth running the dropper post outer before installing the BB ... Access to that bend.
On this frame (and most frames with threaded button brackets) there's actually no access to inside the bike from where the BB threads in. And this frame also has continuous internal housing runs...
But on frames that do have internal access there, that's a great idea!
Haha, I’m in the middle of this exact thing.
Had to push out a perfectly good bb, which sadly ruined it, to get the dropper housing routed-it was just impossible otherwise. Waiting for my new bb to arrive now.
love Syd
You can swap grease out for anti seize in any threaded or press fit application that does not involve bearings. Basically anything thats static. Parktool have a good page on it - the-park-tool-guide-to-bicycle-lubricants-and-compounds
That’s a nice looking bike.. 🤟
When tightening the valve core, you can unthread the valve from the wheel, so make sure you hold it.
Excellent Video Awesome Bike 😎 I use the same bars /stem Excellent stuff no issues 😃
When you mentioned scuffing up your knuckles, a good pair of work gloves makes you at ease
She should get PPF put on the frame!! Nice bike!
EDIT: Just got finished watching 'til the end. Good call on getting PPF for the frame. Subbed!
Great Job, Syd I need to build me one of these, and I hope you two enjoy racing and training on it! I will have to upgrade my Schwinn Timber Trail 29'er once I get more fit (Disabled Combat Veteran with Gulf War Illness and Stage 2 Emphysema) and ride more to justify the expense of a Niner! ja ja ja ja Semper Fi and Can Do OORAH
That paint job reminds me of the Partridge Family's bus, lol
The dropper post/cable is also the last part I do. I find it the most time consuming and requires the most planning and measuring.
Maybe I'm wrong but I think at 19:57 the spacer have to be the other side because all shimano cranks have a rubber spacer/o-ring kinda thing on the inner side of the left arm.
By the way so glad to see you back.
I didn't even know you guys have another channel. Was looking at the video feed and last one was like months ago. I was sure you abandoned the channel when by accident I go to the video with secret gift. The another channel is wow! SO much info lost by me. Anyway... impressive build, impressive frame.
Awesome to watch this beautiful bike come together! I just had one quibble... at 23:57 I see you holding the torque wrench by the shaft, up closer to to the head. This kind of click-style torque wrench won't give you an accurate reading unless you hold it by the handle and let the spring-loaded clicker do its job. You could very easily accidentally overtighten bolts that way. Great job overall, though... it looks amazing, and I'm looking forward to seeing you riding it!
Niner, Shimano And Fox. To me is the best combination.
Ooooh I missed these videos. It should be “welcome to the NEW shed”.....
Sweet bike. Centering the logo of the tire brand on the stem looks best. But I guess I am too practical, I center the tire pressure info on the stem so I am looking at it when inflating the tire.
Great video. One thing that bothered me is when seeing people with a torque click style wrench not grasping in the center of the handle most torque wrenches are length specific. So when you slide your hand closer to the the square drive you are increasing the amount of torque at the square drive.
colored valve stems are great for fixing flats fast especially hot pink valve stems
Amazing bike, I am a jealy bean now :3
not the biggest fan of niner but this is one of the most beautiful paintjobs i ve ever seen
Wouldn’t you want a little wider tire since you are running a wider rim?
I’m not even 5min in and already loving this. My heart started racing when you were holding the frame up. I would be freaking out with excitement.
I have a carbon build in the works…waiting on my frame. It’s not supposed to be done until May and I check my email about 10 times a day already.
As always, great video.
100% only watching because you submitted this on my birthday March 13th haha but I also own a niner jet rdo
Star nuts are easy to install by getting an old adjustable wrench and a hammer and putting the handle of the hammer on the Star nut and hitting it with the wrench
¡ cool, Greeting from chile!! 🇨🇱
For steerer tube always always aways if in doubt always....measure twice ( trice or quadruple) then commit and then cut, but the error on the plus side tho is not a bad idea ( if in doubt )
