From Rochester, New York, USA. This is one of the best bicycle videos I have seen. I have a 1971 steel Torpado that I restore but no disc brakes. Thank you very much...make more videos like this!
i built my bikepacking rig from a 26" HT frame base but it already has disc brake tabs @ rear so i slowly hunted for parts ^^ after touring on rim brakes and encountering wet, muddy terrain i never again would tour on anything but a disc brake bike! Seems almost all 26" MTBs could fit 700 x 32c tires and i didn't have to cut off any of the bridges at rear of frame to fit em? you're on another level bro but had access to tools/workshop so kudos to your workmanship and nice bike ya!
Sir can I ask, about your project? How many gap in "mm" your brake rotors and chainstay at rear/front break? And what thickness of metal plate that you use in ISO mounting disk brake? Thanks for respondse sir and God bless😊
Awesome job!!!! Would have been better putting the rear disc brake mount on the chainstay tube of the inside triangle so you can access the pannier/mudguard mount holes.
Very enjoyable build to watch bike looks great, my only caution would be using a fairly big disc brake rotor on a front wheel with only 24/26 spokes.The loads put thru the spokes under heavy braking are enormous especially on a laden bike. I would not use a front wheel with less than 32 spokes, but still a great result happy riding.
you think it is safe to stick weld a steering tube to another and then remove te guide bar? wouldn't the guide bar provide a stronger bond? did you do a fail/fatigue test before actually riding that fork? just asking because i did the same on a fork of mine, but i kept de guiding bar. cheers beautiful bike
Been thinking about converting my crappy 820 to a touring bike. Probably won’t be as good as a real touring bike but I’ll enjoy it more than if it was a terrible mountain bike!
Should have used a SA XL-FDD dyno drum hub for the WIN. Mine has 26,000 miles with only one side bearing change. They need NO adjustment ever. I have done 2 tours with 4,200 and 3,900 miles through mountains. 100% reliability and unbreakable. The fork can though. LOL
This is the reason why I want a steel frame instead of my actual aluminium one, I want the ability to repair and modify later if I need it. Also that front pannier rack looks awesome, is it custom built or is it available for sale?

One film like yours is worth 20 films about factory-made new bikes - nice one.

@@volodymyrkvaskov6172 oh yeah! me too
Amazing work! I thought about just transfoming one of my old steel mtp frames in to a disc one for years, you made it! Great!
Thanks.
That was beautiful! Three thumbs up.
Thanks.
Awesome, you did such a great job! This inspires me to rebuild my old Koga Miyata Terraliner to the look of your bike.

Keep it up sir
Thank you my friend.
Sir can I ask, about your project?
How many gap in "mm" your brake rotors and chainstay at rear/front break?
And what thickness of metal plate that you use in ISO mounting disk brake?
Thanks for respondse sir and God bless😊
The gap is nearly 5 mm. And the metal plate is 4 or 5mm.
Thank you so much sir, God bless and more power in you UA-cam channel

Nice bike,cool video.
Super! 👍
Thanks 🙏
Mate. I'd say it's a waste of money and time welding the stuff but you got the tools and knowledge so I guess not. It looks great. Cheers from india.
Very cool bike! Good video, subscribed! You're really good at your thing! Greets from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thanks. My dream is to visit your country.

@@cyclingfreeman OK, thank you.
You did an amazing Job!!!looks beautiful
awesome conversion! the Deore wheels looks pretty rad with those skinwall tires!
I always wanted to have Deore wheels. 😁
you need a tig welding setup, you can get an air cooled version to fit a stick welder
greeting from Los Angeles .. video get a big like from me .
good joB !

Awesome job!!!! Would have been better putting the rear disc brake mount on the chainstay tube of the inside triangle so you can access the pannier/mudguard mount holes.
Thanks. I tried to put disc mount inside,but it didn’t fit.
Очень круто 👍
Дякую.
Very enjoyable build to watch bike looks great, my only caution would be using a fairly big disc brake rotor on a front wheel with only 24/26 spokes.The loads put thru the spokes under heavy braking are enormous especially on a laden bike.
I would not use a front wheel with less than 32 spokes, but still a great result happy riding.
Thanks, I think that front wheel will be OK 😉.
Enjoyed the video. Nice build 💪
This was really inspiring bro, thanks so much. I'm going to do the same
And you will!
@@volodymyrkvaskov6172 I did it!!!! just came from my first ride. thanks for the inspiration!!!!

Whoooooaaa! Awesome!

Look new, lets ride👍🏻

I did it on few bikes previously, and it worked. 😁But with guiding bar, will be better. 😉

Exactly! Enjoy.
I like the rough raw-design of the old colour but the new green paintjob is way cooler
Jerry Maybe. 😀
Fantastic 👍
Thanks.
Nice...
Wishnu Wardhana Thanks.
@@volodymyrkvaskov6172 you're welcome brother, come to Indonesia and around my country with bike 😀
I have seen mountain bike conversions to touring , but not like this to disc. How does it ride and did you check frame alignment ?
It ride great, and I didn’t check alignment. 😀
Should have used a SA XL-FDD dyno drum hub for the WIN. Mine has 26,000 miles with only one side bearing change. They need NO adjustment ever. I have done 2 tours with 4,200 and 3,900 miles through mountains. 100% reliability and unbreakable. The fork can though. LOL

Nice work! Were those rivnuts on the front fork?
Love the colour too.
Awesome!!!
Thanks.
I have a dimond back hybread but its alum and no disc tabs would be grate if i could have a set tig welded on but sweet job bro😀

Красавчик!
Дмитрий Щербаков Батя,я стараюсь!
Very nice bike sir, I indeed am abit jealous!
Did you do the paintjob yourself or was it done professionally?
Thanks. Paint job was professional.
awesome bike and i love the green color choice, how much do you want for it?
All yours money 😀
Amazing.
Thanks bro...
Whats your impression of the disc brake holder after 1000 of Kilometer? Is a standard steel fork and frame strong enough for disc brakes?
I think it’s very strong. And I often carry my daughter on frame and all is ok.
Great video, that's what i was looking for, but i have to ask why you change the rear disk brake mount from chain stay tube to seat stay?
I welded disk brake, because there was only v-brake mount.
@@volodymyrkvaskov6172
Look like you didn't got me my friend but no problem :)

Хороший велик получился . Может стоило оплетку тросов пускать цельную без розрывов ?

Beautiful build! What is that green color? Does it have a RAL number?
Jonathan Weh Thanks. I don’t know Ral number,sorry.
thanks
i realy like this video , I want to be like you
You're not afraid of drilling so small side of fork? How's it going today?
Hello. All is ok. All will be Ukraine 🇺🇦
