Note to self.... dont watch this while at work without headphones.... People might get the wrong impression of what you may be watching.... lol.... 😅😅😅
Great video. As a bike builder myself, I love watching people build bikes and maybe learning new tricks of the trade. Some advice, Get A Press Tool! I made my own press fit tool for $5 from a few hardware store parts, it's really EZ. A threaded rod, some really big washers, duct tape, and some wrench you already have in your shop.
It's a LOT easier to set the headset top ring if you support the underside while suspended in a workstand. My old friend back in the day, a road wrench for Campy among other things, used an ever-so-fancy two-by four when assembling even the most expensive frames, from early Kleins like my Gen.1 Attitude and my original Rodriguez road frame. Just sayin'...
Such a great bike. (We're the proud, relatively new, owners of a Meta SX V4). Bike build from scratch is way up the TODO list, so I always love videos like this.
Me too, but ground up. I totally messed up my derailleur, as in it needs a pro to tune, i cant get it, even with parktools videos.. and i have slow leaks in my rim tape. Plus the amount of specialty tools I did not already have.
Love your videos. I’ve just rebuilt a an older bike. A Intense Spider 29A. It had SRAM XX1 eagle 11 speed drive. And only needed a chain but the current fork and rear shock could no longer be serviced. So I replaced the fork with a Fox factory 34 130mm fork and factory float rear. The Spider looks great after the refresh.
When the bike is on the stand and you hammer on it, it moves(wiggles) taking with it the power of your hammering stroke, put the frame on the floor, it will be much easier to hammer the parts in, or out, placing any parts you need to hammer are easier if the part is placed on something solid, not moving, so the force will be with you, not against you .. ;) !! Happy Trails
As a small person who has worked on bikes, I am always surprised how much force some of it requires, and sometimes I struggle to be strong enough. You really gotta giv'r sometimes
I made myself a DIY bearing press (threaded rod, washers and bolts). But found it really hard to get headset to press in, flush. Ended up just bashing it in with a rubber mallet, which worked like a charm. 🤣🤷
I love this! Congrats! I was in a bit of a pissy mood this morning but I couldn't help chuckling while watching this, you're genuinely funny. You made my day. Can't wait to see the rig in action.
This bike build is definitely a fun one to watch. Sounds like you built up more than just the bike. Thank you for the laughs. It is great to see women wrenching on their trusted steeds. Hope this bike brings you many more smiley miles of fun between your legs.
Building your own bike is awesome. Sometimes more expensive, since not all parts might fit, but you seldomly need help to fix bikes anymore afterwards, except for complicated stuff like suspension service at least.
Just because there's a hole doesn't mean that you put something in it. I wish that someone had of mentioned that a long time ago! You two are like a comedy duo! Nice bike, btw!!! 😆😂😁
"Just cuz it's a hole, doesn't mean you put something in it..." LOOOOL!! I think I had coffee blowing out my nose laughing so suddenly.
Note to self.... dont watch this while at work without headphones.... People might get the wrong impression of what you may be watching.... lol.... 😅😅😅
I love it❤️
I looked at the comments before watching and was confused by this until I got 15 seconds in
I had to turn the volume down a bit.
Yeah I defenitly see why now.. haha
😝😝😝😝😝 I’m watching this at work and out the gate gloryholes are mentioned 😝😝😊😅
Nice work guys looking good thank you
The love between you and Eric is so sweet - and tangible. Thank you for sharing this fun but intimate time with us. ❤❤❤
So many, “that’s what she said” moments. 😂😂😂😂
Love the new ride!
Cheers from Santa Cruz! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
He likes it 😩 old man…
That “spare parts” Ext shock just laying around 😎👍
That was awesome, Yuka. The perfect way to learn.....with someone to help when you run into trouble. :)
🤣
That’s such a awesome looking bike great video 👍😎
I dont think “glory hole” is a bad word. But at first, I thought she said “girly hole” which had me cracking up. 😂😂😂
Congrats on the new bike!
Happy new bike day!! Lovely video
I always get bored with built videos (usually skip to the end only to check out the bike), but watching Yuka struggling was so entertaining!
That sounds wrong but I agree 😂.
Glad to see you back. Enjoy your Christmas !
Happy Christmas to you as well 😉❤️

This video was SO funny!!! Your spirit is always so fun.
I’m happy to deliver to you one more smile 😋
You are inspiring Yuka!!!
Glory hole! Loll
Great looking bike Yuka! Gotta love those wheels!
Those wheels are my favourite part of the bike ❤️
You've been away too long! Glad to see you post again.
Happy NBD!🤗

Hilarious, beautiful wheels, nice bike. Happy new bike day !!!!
Awesome bike build Yuka!!!
Congrats
Great job Yuka! And that's a cool new bike, dig the wheels. Thanks for another entertaining video..

I've got the ebike version of this exact bike. Same Champagne color and all. Been loving it for 2 years now! I'm sure you'll dig the Meta SX!
I like your new bike better than your old bike, great choice !!!
Great to see you back Yuka...and the new bike 👍👍
Best bike build video EVER!!!!!
Thanks for the laugh, so good!
Omg the orange tabby is so cute 🤍🤍 and I’m sorry the “glory hole” 😭😂
Good job Yuka ! :-) Happy holidays.
Commencal… great bike 🔥 🖤
Congrats Yuka!
Good too see girls on the job
Hottest bike build ever 🔥!!!
So awesome! Love it!
Got the same bike. Its great believe me. This video reminded me, when you just switched the cranks from the old one
素敵なニューバイクですね。ホイールもクール!
昔コメンサルのXCフレーム使ってました。まだ26インチの時代でした。
26インチでトレイルを走ったことはまだないです。めっちゃOTBしそうですね😭
Very cool!
Well done, nice bike 😊👍🏻👍🏻
Yuka is hilarious :D
Welcome to club COMMENCAL!
Yuka is so cute ❤

Commencal does make beautiful frames.
It was fun to see you in Hellendoorn. 😁
OMG those wheels 😍 loving the oil slick😁
Me too 😍
Yuka,you are hilarious 🤪🥰👍
So awesome bike build good luck💪🤙🤙🤙
I was looking for bike setup videos to see what to adjust n my mtb. This is so funny!
I like watching Yuka A LOT.
Such a great bike.
(We're the proud, relatively new, owners of a Meta SX V4).

Awesome! Well done!
Aha ha thats great 😄😄👋👋👋👋👋
Me too, but ground up. I totally messed up my derailleur, as in it needs a pro to tune, i cant get it, even with parktools videos.. and i have slow leaks in my rim tape.
Plus the amount of specialty tools I did not already have.
what a nice Bike ... Yuka, I Thing you are an Amazing Woman ... 😄
Gotta love YUKA!!!
Hope you and Eric have a great Christmas yuka 🎉
This year we will do it in Japanese way! Which is KFC🤣✨

nice to see you bout ride safe always guys 💓
Well done! Especially since it’s the first time anyone on planet earth referred to that as a glory hole!!
But it is! Maybe other people are so polite…😔
Those wheels are beautiful 😍
That’s how one learns ! And it’s why we don’t seem to progress these days. Scared to go in the deep end 👍

I love videos with Yuka !!
Always awesome videos by the tag team!
If you have a torque wrench, probably best use it on everything :) cool looking bike
I’m still scared of a torque wrench…🥲
Sick bike!
You are hilarious 😂
You guys are awesome...
Love it! Laughing my butt off. You two are great
Love this video 😂 Yuka had me in stitches!! Great skills to have 🤙
Was it just time for a change? Or do you prefer the Commencal over your Santa Cruz? Great video Yuka!
You definitely earned those points! I’ve never fit a tire without tire levers!
I had expected at least one 'oiyokusho' when placing the tire 😂
my (japanese) grandma used to say that all the time when she did anythng labor intensive, what does that mean?!
I loved this video you guys were very funny 😂 i enjoy watching love the new bike 🤘
This will probably be my favorite movie. Dirty conversations while assembling the bike, this has never happened before 😅
I don’t understand. All what we said was dirty talk while building my bike…
Just a little naughty conversation between friends and lovers.
❤😮😊
As a small person who has worked on bikes, I am always surprised how much force some of it requires, and sometimes I struggle to be strong enough. You really gotta giv'r sometimes
Love you Yuka
hey! we just got a new commencal too! awesome build!
lmao glory hole
Very nice!
This is probably the most relatable mtb content out there. Great job Yuka!
Great to get a video from you guys, was thinking you left UA-cam.
Bearing press is a good investment and pretty cheap lol…nice new bike!
I made myself a DIY bearing press (threaded rod, washers and bolts). But found it really hard to get headset to press in, flush.
Ended up just bashing it in with a rubber mallet, which worked like a charm. 🤣🤷
Yuka, need to post more often :)
I have done pretty much everything she did at one point hahaha, love it
Best bike build video ever
great video. i recommend watching with headphones to avoid confused parents or wife walking by
A great idea 👍✨
Frankenstein bikes are the best! Cool bike!
I love this! Congrats! I was in a bit of a pissy mood this morning but I couldn't help chuckling while watching this, you're genuinely funny. You made my day. Can't wait to see the rig in action.
I’m honer to make your day a little happier😘✨ love my job!
This bike build is definitely a fun one to watch. Sounds like you built up more than just the bike.
Thank you for the laughs. It is great to see women wrenching on their trusted steeds.
Hope this bike brings you many more smiley miles of fun between your legs.
You guys had me cracking up lol...
It was so lovely seeing you two being up to no good 😂 ❤
