PS. When I provide a link here to gear or equipment I sometimes get a kickback from it. But I NEVER link to something that I haven't used or did use and didn't like! 👍 - Спорт
I was really surprised how practical this list was. Thanks for the video. I avoid doing this much stuff, but I learn quite a few things.
I’ve bought cheapo tools and had to replace them so many times over the decades I realized that a good tool would last forever basically plus it does the job better. Also the amount I’ve spent would probably been less if I just got the good tool from the start. Final also: if you DIY all the time it will eventually be cheaper than using a bike shop for assembly and service. My advice is like Jordain’s, buy top quality tools you won’t regret it.
Very important tips. Thanks for sharing J. Amazing video as always.
Just started routing the cockpit of my Airwolf gravelbike, so the cable routing trick might come in handy!
The world of carbon cycles really needs this channel. I support you Jourdain!
Thanks for the tips very helpful
Yo, thanks for the rundown.
5:53 This should be clarified. Usually the torque specifications are given for dry threads, not greased. Lubing the threads and then applying the specified torque can result in bolt/thread tension/BB compression up to twice of what would result with dry threads. Frame o BB manufacturer should specify if threads should be lubed or not.
Good point!!
I love your jokes, and I like to watch your builds - I´m new into this, could you surgest a frame manuf.?
Love your work, Mr Coleman. Really enjoying your content. Relevant and informative.
Much appreciated... glad you enjoyed the video!
Torque wrench: hold it at the handle, operate smoothly and stop at the first click. With each additional click you apply more torque to the bolt despite not changing the setting.
Thanks for the tips, Jourdain.
This is untrue. ✓ operate at denoted hand position; X additional ticks will apply more torque, untrue.
@@sabamacx Don't believe me, believe the manufacturer's manual. Also, you can see the bolt move with every additional click.
@@DnDMF I have a PhD in materials engineering. There are plenty of click-torque wrench videos on youtube against strain gages and load cells confirming what I've said above. A good recent overview is to search "torque wrench john cadogan", also a fellow engineer.
@@DnDMF obviously hold a torque wrench at the correct point along it's length and never deviate from that, but you're 'advice' to not go more then one 'click' is BS. torqued correctly the first time, a second or third torquing carefully repeated exactly the same way as the first almost never increases bolt torque.
see, now you're even smarter than you were before.
@@seanmccuen6970 It is not my advice. It is the manufacturer's operation manual. They built the tool and they obviously know less than you.
NIce tips! Thank you. But the first tip is biggest problem for me, as I'm in between sizes (M and L) 😅 and I'm still struggling with decision
Many people have the same issue. I done a whole video on choosing frame size here, it could help you - ua-cam.com/video/uahhHj--HZk/v-deo.html
If you're between sizes, then the bike doesn't fit you.
(But if you insist, downsize, you can make a smaller bike fit larger, but not really a bigger bike fit small)
You forgot one, if you can't get the headset spacers to fit don't cut the steerer short and slam the stem.
true that!
5:00 - Love your channel, great work, but just how many fingers are you holding up?!?!😂
A lot 😂
bro i was watching your vid yesterday and i had a dream i bought an Elves frame
Hahaha... I think that's a sign 😂
Excellent, just wish presenter went 20% slower... tough to hear exactly what was being said and getting the point.
Whould love to see a sub 800$/€ build ❤
I'm planning a few cheaper builds in the near future. Maybe some second hand bikes that need a little TLC as well. 👍🏽
Jourdain is a French name isn't it? (I'm French myself)
Correct, although I can't speak French unfortunately
@@JourdainColeman You will laugh, I currently live in the city of L'Isle-Jourdain in the south of France!
WHAT ABOUT MAKING A FRAME WITH 145MM OR 148MM REAR SPACING FOR FUTURE 13 OR 14 SPEEDS????
The bike industry has gotten terrible about their ideas and innovations over the years. You have to use carbon grip paste on you stem and bars and seatpost, you have to use a sealant in you tires. Everything has a torque spec that just barely holds the component in place so as to not crack the frame, who carries a torque wrench with them on their rides. We have bought into garbage bikes that are barely fit for purpose in modern times and idiots are paying a premium for it. Don't you think it's time we just go back to steel frames, aluminum components, and using inner tubes? I like the disc brakes better than rim but that's the only thing. I just recently went back to using aluminum rims too. The aluminum wheels built up are actually about 200 grams lighter than the carbon aero wheels I took off. Yeah there are things I wish I knew before I spent thousands of dollars on my bikes, money which I could have put towards a new house.
yeah but how fast can you go in a house vs. a carbon fibre race bike?!
