this guy dserves more visibility on youtube. cool dude
!!!
Heck yeah, I really enjoyed this video!
Agreed...I'm surprised there isn't more views on his channel...great production, music, content, etc...
THIS.
I like to see channels grow that are putting out good stuff. I started a UA-cam channel but it's mostly for fun, not many people are familiar with Spain. Gravel bikes are catching on here.
Dustin, no one does a better job editing or incorporates more effective creative music in their video's! Another amazing job Dustin!
Thanks for the shout out! FYI Dustin rode up mt. hood and down this massive DH shuttle run on this thing and dusted some endurbros. party on
I still have to edit that footage too. Should be able to get a proper edit out of that one...my damn hands still hurt from that decent..LOL
got blisters from the T2T/Pioneer Bridle descent on my full squish fat bike. Teeth chattering to say the least
The best bicycle in the world is the one you like to ride! I'm absolutely convinced I've got the best gravel bike in Spain, for me!
Man, I'm glad I found your channel. I have been on the Bombtrack for the last week and you basically helped me out so much. I have one on order and not to jack you but I'm setting mine up just like yours. Well, not the paint job but the dropper post and tires that is. You're the only person on UA-cam that has actually talked about it in depth, so I thank you for that.
Yeah player!
Stoked you were able to pick up some tips. Those tires(and wheels) make a big difference. Wide and stable able to handle some business. 👊
Annalisa helped me with my bike fit a few months ago when she was down at Golden Saddle Cyclery. Super nice and extremely knowledgeable! We only had an hour but we were able to make some pretty noticeable adjustments to my fit. I've been riding for 7-8 years and have never felt more comfortable on a bike.
This is the dream build. So glad you went full-enduro with a dropper and hacked in the brifter actuation no less! Droppers are one of those things that make riding SO FUN. Worth every gram and I'm looking at getting the externally routed PDW Pine to swap between my rigid 29er and Spec diverge. One dropper benefit you didn't mention is how it allows you to get in a much better body position for railing tight corners, etc. Can't wait to see more videos showcasing how this thing rides...
Good points on the dropper. I am new to them and your totally right they shin the brightest on the single track!
gravel kings are one of the best upgrades I made on my gravel bike. build looks awesome!
Good call!
I really like your bike build philosophy. It's just how I choose my bike builds too. I also like the editing, music and your presentation fits together and works perfectly. Just like the bike build!
I got into watching your station initially because it popped up when i was looking for NW Oregon and gravel. I have watched several of your videos now over the last bunch of months, and I love the mix of rides, technical stuff (like this), advice (like the mapping one recently), and other ramblings.
This is some of the bike tech stuff I love to see, where someone gives the build and then gives some idea of the why of each choice, which I find the most helpful as it helps one's viewers also pick and choose which pieces they may want to adopt.
Nicely done!
I just watched this again. Thanks for taking the time to explain what's on the build and why, and with your trademark kind of humor and wit.
Congratulations to Dustin on a beauty of a bike! Thanks for the great dropper post operation from the LH shifter idea, I just might use that some day! It's great to see someone as excited about a new bike as I get!
Am I four years late? Yes. But is this bike amazing me to this day? Absolutely. What a crazy, awesome build. This thing seems like a dream to ride. You’ve got me 300% invested in running 650b on gravel bikes. When I build/get one that will be the way I go.
You are 4 years right on time!
Keep us posted on your new build, Im excited to hear what you think.
@@EverythingsBeenDoneDo you still ride this Bombtrack or did sell for your Wilier?
Beautiful build! Love the camo!
Thanks Player!
Look who's here!
Sweet build, Dustin! I'm with you on SRAM and 1X. I'm frankly surprised too that droppers are not more common in gravel builds. Or road bikes for that matter, but look at the resistance to discs in the road bike world. I'm sure that things will change as people's opinions evolve.
Awesome movie about your bike! Great way how you present your journey to build it, put the pieces together and why you chose those pieces in particular! Love to see more of your (in my sense) "awesome dream bikes"! Cheers, keep on going! Best wishes from Switzerland!
much repsect! Thank you for the positive feed back! More to come for sure.

This was my first foray into the world of Klein....... slippery slope! 😂🤘🏻
My man!!
It wouldn't be out of the ballpark to say that this is the coolest pushbike I've ever seen
Player!
I like how the Chris King BB is the high vis orange. It’s the little things
DUDE!!! Seriously the best bike check I've ever seen!!!
Damn. The multicam paint job on this bike is absolutely amazing.
This is hands down the coolest bike I've seen in a while. Every detail deserves the highest of fives. Subscribed.
Sweet build! I love the camo paintjob. That dropper-lever-thingy is trick AF!
Thats what up!
Norco does the Left lever dropper post trigger on their Search XR gravel bike from stock! such a sweet solution
Imagine a Dustin Klein no22 gravel bike? Their house pant jobs are already amazing.
You really nailed this build. Love the use of "Multicam" camo. Nice setup..
I'm glad you like it! Much respect.
Great video. Bike looks really good and I bet it's a blast to ride. My bike is a Fuji Sportive and it has the same setup for the brakes as yours. 140mm in the back and 160mm in the front.
Rad, thought it might be a bit more common then I thought. Sounds like a rad bike.
They are rad bikes. Very versatile. Go on long rides because of the more upright sitting position but with enough clearance to add wider tires on it. Keep on keeping on, duder.
This video was absolutely f’in amazing. So informative, hats off my man.
Cheers player!
got the same Panaracer , with brown sides, on a DT Swiss p1800 Spline, also tubeless and i absolutely adore those tyres. I have a friend who has the same tyres on his Cyclocross and he is also in love with them! Also now they make them in green, i saw them on eurobike this year-on this bike, DUDE, IT WIL LOOK TOTALY INSANE!!!
Excellent video. I'm currently shopping for a gravel bike to do some on and offroad bike packing, and came across your channel... Keep up the good work.
Love the video man, ride on! You can never have too many custom bikes.....never!
No truer words have been said!
HEYYYY! ITS YOUR HIPSTER BIKE GUY! Regardless, gave video a thumbs down first but you really put the effort and pretty informational. Good job telling us how you labored and spec'd and modified your setup. Good job shooting and editing too. Thumbs up now.
Respect!
I was wrong to profile you like that. You did a good job with bike and video. I might need some tips on installing dropper seatpost. I just ordered a new carbon frame and building it up for a cyclo/gravel setup. Might hit you up privately for parts to get and how to install a dropper seatpost. Respekt!
Love this review, and especially the Outershell handlebar bag. Did not regret to buy one!
That bag is very on point for sure!
Another great video! Love the build. Purchased a set of Venture max bars at your recommendation WOW these bars are comfy. Totally changed my ride making it super stable. Thanks again man
That is so rad! very stoked youve been feeling the Venture max bars!! Cheers
DK “I got a problem.....I’ve got too many bikes” Blasphemy I say. Great video and thanks for all the links to places I will end up spending money at. You’ve got a “problem, no, no no, I got a problem. Wait that was Blasphemous, never mind, carry on, well done.
Perhaps a bike check video on all your bikes?? Would totally watch that. Hello from Asia!
Really nice Video, nice bike. Live in Cologne/Germany (where the bombtrack home is). The bombtrack bikes in general for me, are to "Hipsteresque" ...Love the simplisity of my own Ascent, most equipped with Ritchey Parts, but EvoMax instead of VentureMax, love your Ascent. That is the/your best frame/bike. Steel ist real!
Thanks for sharing your nice Videos.
So funny, you have an almost identical setup(drivetrain wise) to my Surly Midnight Special build. Custom built with Force 1x, Red HRD with 160mm disc up front(also a friend hookup) and Force HRD with a 140mm on the back. I would do a dropper post too, but there's no hills in the Midwest to justify it. Anyways, cool build and have fun riding!
So sick! Dropper to the left shifter is brilliant.
Dustin is the best!
Just found your videos via the Radavist. Your bike vids are so good! This bombtrack bike check was awesome! You are great in front of the camera. Keep em coming!
Your setup is near identical to mine (even painted my forks myself, just not the frame - I actually came across your vid painting yours when researching painting a carbon bike). I'm Running a Planet X carbon frame which is visually very similar - only draw back is no rack mounts, which is something I will look for in my next frame when I decided to upgrade. My bike bag setup hasn't hindered this though but it's nice to have those options. My best investment on it this year has been the Brooks Cambium C17 Carved which I picked up for a steal at £80. I wasn't sure about the hype surrounding them but with over 1500km on it already and it's been a game changer. Got a 400km ride coming up next week which will be the longest single ride on it (175km has been my longest ride with it so far) but I honestly forget about it it's that good.
I LOVE my gravel kings put about 2000km on them over summer - have just switched them over to Jack Brown Blues (now made by Panaracer) for my longer ride as will have more B roads then gravel and they shred hard (and look cool as fuck)! Will be back on the GK's after the ride for winter.
Dropper post intrigues me a - you should do a vid on the pros and cons of it.
Subbed - Keep shredin' 🤘
`I've got Gravel Kings on my road bike and had the SK's on their all winter, 26mm....the dropper's a big deal, we rode our sequoia's out in tucson over the winter and on loose gravel, stone,steep woulda come in handy.Five outta Five, great work !
Sounds like you've got some pretty smart builds!
“The baggy pants might come around” hahaha yeah MTB has a different aesthetic for sure
Love the vid, love the bike, and love some of those plants in the background.
Loved it! New subed. Being a roadie, I love my 2X chainrings on my gravel build. I guess I love my cadence! Cheers
Brilliant video.Very entertaining and compulsive to watch. Love the bike
👊👊👊
Your video is gold even in 2020 .
Massive compliment!
I would love to see it with the camo wheels on brother another cracking video love from across the pond
Bike is sickkk af, obviously. But more importantly, from a fellow vlogoneur, your talking head vibe and editing was superb on this.
Thanks homie! talking head can be risky business. But your on point with that stuff also! Keep it going player.
Gracias amigo!
Love the bike and the video. That said, the Ritchey Ascent is my favorite bike of yours! Make sure to keep it in your rotation and in your videos! At least until I can afford one of my own!✌🏻
My own limited experience on my own gravel grinder has been leading me to a similar conclusion build wise, especially with respect to the dropper and 47mm tires over 38 (max. I can fit is 40mm, bike came with 38mm).
I wasn’t sure about the compact double up front, but on flatter terrain I like it, the 11-32 cassette is easy-peasy on the road, but a 11-36 would be better minimum for those long 12% plus skidder and fire roads.
And I had the same question do I want a 22lb XC bike or a 22lb gravel bike...more cush or the challenge of underbiking?
Oh, and baggies all the way, eh.
Totally agree 2x on the flats is the JAM. I think N+1 is a good default when trying to figure between bikes ;)
Stumbled upon your channel today. I really like your style!
Love to hear this!! Stoked you found it.
That's a brilliant way to do a dropper post with drop bars
love the dropper post routed to the left lever trick! shawn at sun and air did it on his drop bar mtb also.
Its such a cool feature!
Snazzy new haircut to go with that snazzy new whip. Looks good dude!
Not sure if you are still checking the comments on this video lol. This bike seems like a super cool setup. I was thinking of doing the same thing of adding a dropper connected to the left Sram shifter. Wondering how you handled the issue that both the dropper and the shifter want to have the pre-crimped end of the shifter cable. Am currently looking at a similar PNW Components post.
This is a 1x set up so that shifter is dedicated to the dropper
How complicated was it to cable and get the shifter and dropper to work together?
Perfection is in the eyes of the beholder! But they keep getting closer huh!
Love your garden. Your time management skills are right there, man. Not sure how you get it all done.
Much respect my dude! I do what I can. The Plants help keep me in major multi task mode ;)
This video is so Portland. Love the tangents and the wheel talk. Great to see Annalisa getting a shout out at Endurance PDX. The Audax Al is 23 pounds. Im thinking that will be my next buy. Will look into those Panaracers.
Love this video. The bike is epic. That paint is amazing I want one !!!
Great guy. Love the calipers. Awesome Gravelbike 🤘😎🤙
7:00 no freakin' way😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude you are freakin' genius 🤙😂🤙😂
Hey you mtb road concerns over the world - you must have to are required to sponsor this guy
CHEERZ
Plants are looking good man! Also that bombtrack looks like a lot of fun!
its such a ripper
you and spindatt look exactly alike. same getup, same hair color, same piercings and same hobbies
Spindatt makes some rad videos!
LMFAO, I've been watching both of these dudes' videos not even noticing they were two different people.
Thats hilarious!
@@amsp79 Dustin has a hair of Matt Dennison from IFHT, too.
Wait, are you telling me I didn't just watch a Spindatt vid?
Awesome video. I like the backdrop, it looks almost like weed growing back there.
There were 4 cannabis plants back there!
Loving this bike. Damn! And those wheels.
I've got the same Gravel King SKs in 650B on my Specialized Sequoia. On my Hunt Adventure Sport rims (inner width 25mm) they come up almost true to size at 49mm, a lot narrower than on your rims. Just as well, as another couple of millimetres and those babies would grind to a halt in the back at the first sign of mud.
Love those tires!
would be awesome to get these wheels in 700! great video dude!!!
Nice bike! Love Ritchey stuff
Right on!
Lovely bike. Would love something like this for my commute.
Dustin, you did a great job with this video. It would be nice if you did a small breakdown of all the costs. I’d love to try to do something like this in the future but don’t wanna spend more than 3K.
Way classic vid, totally relatable. Don’t stop. Bend , OR.
Killer bike!! You've almost got me talked into 1X, keep talkin".
LOL Dude I came from road bikes in this whole thing and was like "what the hell 1x sounds dumb" but after jumping between all these bikes on rugged shit 1x keeps me moving so I dont have to think about the bike just the gnarly-ness in front of me.....end rant
I come from both MTB and road and tend to use both front chainrings quite a bit.....but......thinking about it, when not "cross chaining", as I try not to any more than necessary, I only end up using about 5 of the gears in the middle of the range of each chainring anyway, hence, a wide range 10 cassette ought to work fine. LOVE your work, by the way!!
I think I'm in love. The only thing that doesn't feel right is the dropper seat.
This Bombtrack looks fantastic, good job! "Steel is real", though. ;-) I own an Ascent too, and I'm in love with it (yes, it's a bit heavy, but it's ok for me).
So rad you have an Ascent! That bike is so good! I still love mine. Looks so fresh and rides just right.
love my ext-c. it's mostly stock, with some carbon 29er xc wheels, but it rips. we're 3500km/2000mi into our relationship and it's as hot as ever
love that paint job
So the ext c will fit 29er?
@@fractalofgod6324 the fattest i've put on is 700x42, but they measure out at 45 (23mm internal rim) and there's a ton more clearance. i'd hazard to guess you could mount 2 inch 29er tires easily.
Yes, this is sick. nice work man, and thanks for all the deets.
Great build the frame looks like a Carbonda 696
I just picked up some Gravelkings SK's , running the G -One now tubeless.
Youll be stoked on the durability of the GK SK's
Fuck this is such a cool bike. This and your Salsa Cutthroat might be my favourite bikes you’ve had and that’s a hard distinction to make!
NICE ONE! Sweet looking bike ;) Got my heart set on the Niner Magic Carpet Ride, that's gonna float my boat.
Many Thanks for the vid, and Kind Regards for the build list. :)
Would love to see you and Taylor Phinney have a conversation discussing bikes and shtt....
That would be epic! I am almost postive he has not idea who I am..LOL
Awesome build. Love the paint job. Are you planning to paint the fenders to match...? I personally do not like like SRAM (came with my Kona Rove) but to each his own...ride your ride. Great video....again!
HOLY CRAP!!! that is exactly what I imagine a gravel king to look like!!! Who do I have to call to get this bike!!! How much do you believe this would cost someone ?
I had to call a boat load of people to get this thing rolling. Just start getting it bit by bit. It takes time but the cost is spread out over time so its not such a blow to the wallet.
Dustin Klein
Taking the long term view I love that thank you for pointing that out I’ll do that
That's a sick paint job man. Surprised you didn't go electronic shifting with that whip.
FINALLY !!! waited sooo long for this vid...looks amazing!!!!!,similar Setup than mine.just came back from my tour to the Eastern Sea/German Coast with my Steel Hook EXT. Shortend it up a bit...By the Numbers:1402 Km/ 12700 Hm.Always Headwind up and down :(....The Bike served me very well, i had not one fail or flat in any components also because i did the build by my self witch is critical i think...if i ever come to the states i have to visit your place...talking bikes and smoke some weed ;)
Pretty nice build, love the paint, and very cool you did it on your own!
Still haven't come around to the idea of a dropper on a gravel bike mostly because I haven't found a need for one on my mountain bikes. The biggest factor being the inseam in relation to the torso length centered on the bike I just don't have problems getting low and behind the saddle. However, I do understand why people use them even on gravel bikes and you did point out a very important point about pedaling low.
More importantly....DO NOT USE GLITTER!!! This was a topic or idea that popped up circa 2009-2010 where a guy was experimenting, and it kind of caught on. I tried it, it does nothing. What it does do is leave glitter to contend with for the entire span of ownership of a wheelset! It gets everywhere, and never goes away. As for Finish Line Sealant, I've heard good things about it, but being an early adopter of tubeless while living over in EU, I had to make my own due to Stan Sealant unavailability at the time (2002'ish)
I like those Ritchey wheels but I wonder if they're too wide for a 1.9 tire. The reason being that there's only so much sidewall to start out with, and a 35mm rim is going to stretch that sidewall out to the point where its making contact with the ground as part of the contact patch since the contact patch is narrower than the rim internal width. This will especially be noticeable when the bike is weighted down w/ rider and gear. Where this becomes problematic is that the sidewall is not meant to be part of the contact patch and will wear a lot faster exposing threads and then start leaking.
Rad bike! Can i ask why 42 42 and not something lighter? Cheers!
I've run 160mm rotors in the front and 140mm in the back, and I liked it. You kind of trail off on an important ramble there. I'm sure some classical physics folks could help me out, but I think the gist is this: when you decelerate, the mass of the bike, you, and all your accessories will be loading the front wheel more than the rear, therefore you require more power to balance out (increased radius on the rotor means increased leverage, or torque). It's asymmetrical just like your fancy rims... what did your buddy call it? OCR?
You should use a lauf fork as suspension! Is a full carbon suspension fork. For under €1000
Dude a dropper post on a gravel bike Awesome I was thinking to do this also! LOve it
Solid job! I'm really enjoying your videos!
So only a couple lbs. of difference between the Accent. Ok, but what about feel, geometry and fit differences right? This is the reason to have so many ass kicking bikes. It's kinda like being able to be a bigamist/swinger and get away with it. Not only legally and socially but each of the bikes loves you and is ok with you loving other bikes. And you know, you can work it out with each bike if they want someone else to ride them for a change every now and then but they always come back to you. Think about it man, you wouldn't compare all your different wives just based on weight, now would you? THEY CALL ME THE SWINGING BIKE BIGAMIST. LIFE IS GOOD :)
PREACH!!!
Sweet bike. I run 160mm rotors in the front and 140mm rotors in the back. It's a bit more punk rock than just running two 160's front & rear.
Ease off the jojo, bro. And PNW - yeah, superior engineering. I run one (I forget which, not the top-level but right below it) and it is utterly perfect in every way. The timing of the seat rebound/extension could not possibly be improved. Fast, but not ball-busting fast. Precise stops when lowering the seat, precise elevation when gradually bring it back up. Perfect.
Like the dropper ..sweet looking rig man
Thanks player
this bike is so sick.
Super sick bike
Thanks player!
That is one epic build!!
CHEERZZZZ
Dustin Klein any plans to do videos on your other bikes?
Thanks for the tip on bars.... Epic👌
What a rad bike! "Very nice" indeed.
