@@Gogoplex Tell ya friends, nobody watched this video last year. I'm hoping it reaches a wider audience this time around. I've found the battery lasted 700k in summer, I've not tested the range in the winter because I tend to sleep indoors in -20°!

@SladeTakalaLamey I'm not worried about the battery. I can take it in with my el bike battery. I was more worried about the shifting in cold temperatures. Here in Norway we also gets pretty cold. Hate to stand in the road on my way to work at 0600 😅

@@Gogoplex Ouch. I'm hoping to do The Bright Midnight next year. Maybe see you there.

Cheers, Glad you liked it. The bolts that go into the frame and adapter are standard M5. The bolts that connect the carbon crossbar are M6.... Tip, I bought some Ti M5 bolts they are really cheap on Ali and much less likely to sheer under any strain.

@@SladeTakalaLamey cheers, will order some now! Gonna try video me doing it. Will make sure to share end results. Depending how well this goes I might also attempt a front rack at some point

@@ollieknight45 good luck! Make sure you share your results. I'll do a comment style reply!

Cheers, it's made from recycled ski pants, and my daughters old waterproofs

😂 I know, the smell is punchy! I did GCSE chem, but that was a long time ago. I am painting by numbers man.

Well let me say two things... First you absolutely rock my man! Total dude, super freaking class, legendish status all round bike geezer. Second.... I used frikkin copper powder instead of copper oxide powder like a dick! Now I've got to throw another layer on and hope for the best 🤣 Righto - if you are ever touring through Holland or nearby the Groene Hart of Holland let me know, you n your firm can camp in our garden n eat for free! Take care Mark

@@markbowden1976 I did Calais to the Hook 15 years ago. Belgium and Holland were amazing (Calais not so much!). I'm keeping my tours Nordic for a while but thanks very much. Good luck with the coating. and Cheers.

ruclips.net/video/WMxBaq13UO4/видео.htmlsi=1eP_pG-BS1DhBO42&t=282 , this is Joe from china cycling strongly hinting that they make a handful of other brands in the same factory. If you can afford a hand made EU or US version, I say go for it. Waltly offer an outsourced alternative and I have nothing but praise for the process. As for sources, this is RUclips, not the BBC dear.

@@zngrrr it's copper oxide, although I've heard sulphate would work.

It is working but i dont know if it's better... Do you make it with the same amounts last time?

The copper oxide in the video

@@zngrrr I presume so. As you can see from my explanation in the video. I am relying heavily on other people's expertise. I've heard that oiling it quickly after stops the reaction, which might stop the poweriness.

@@SladeTakalaLamey thank you and last question how do oyu get the green color?

@@TommiHonkonen 2 out of 3 ain't bad for some. DIY is always more interesting tho.

@@onlywalt thanks very much. They are Suomi 29" 50. There's a full spec sheet under my Titanium bike build video. ruclips.net/video/NO9SPNU1_YY/видео.htmlsi=rkITBbqNTK1NYBQA

@@LioLionsen I am afraid to deflate your dreams but I must. The copper was atomically thin, the rust took over before the green could, so I had to clear-coat her. Laura gave up too. So while it's a cool experiment, it's more athletic than hard wearing.

@@matthewsouthall1286 best of luck. Please let me know how it goes and send pics when you are done.

Will do

Also ordered some rods and want to try to put them together with 3D-printed Nylon Sleeves. Those have still to be designed and I hope it will work as imagined.

@@kneeslidergurkeI definitely considered that option. Ended up playing to my strengths and went lo-fi. Please send me pics when you are done, I'm trying to build a collection of people I've inspired.

Finished it last week, sent the pictures through to your instagram. 😊 but you haven't seen it. You want me to sent them through on something else??

@@Gang1955 I've since solved that problem. The double stem was very much a place holder. Look further up the feed. It's quite elegant if I say so myself.

@@theparkup-w9mthanks very much for saying. By popular demand there's a Google doc in the description, it has all the info you are looking for. Happy trails, ☺️

@@SladeTakalaLamey Perfect! I am considering building one now. TY 🙌

@@Insert_Screename_Here there's a detailed version further up the feed if you like.

@@SladeTakalaLamey I saw a couple of the videos so far, really like it. Only question I had, is why not thread through crossbars, instead of gluing?

@@Insert_Screename_Here I got drunk on weight savings. The cross bars all fell off. But it turns out they made no difference to the structure of the thing anyway.

@@SladeTakalaLamey Not going to lie, every since I saw the video and the setup, and I wondering how I can implement this on my bike now 😁I don't having mounting points on my chain stays, so for sure it will be something that I have to consider. Maybe some sort of shock absorbing end, with a rubber strap that wraps around the stay and can be tightened down.

@@Insert_Screename_Here the Rockbros fender mounts look like they could hold a pipe.

@@ThyLegend27 I made a follow up this year. (It's further up the pile). The race keeps getting better!

@@ThyLegend27 I'd have to ask Harri. Gimme a week. 😁

@@Clim-lk6tn I've not heard of that stuff since growing crystals from my 80s chemistry set. I suppose it would.

@@nicstinson7948 I think we live in different tax brackets ☺️. Congratulations, I hope they serve you well. I'm still loving mine.

What didn't you like about moots? I woulda thought it'd be a dream buying process (just super expensive).

Moots are the most overrated and overpriced ti frames on the planet. Have no idea what people see in them as being so special. They are generic ti frames that do not ride any better than two dozen plus other frames, they nickel and dime you on everything under the sun above their base frameset, and their finishes are the very cheapest that can be fabbed (bead blasted) unless you pay some crazy upgrade price for cerakote, etc..... I'd take a brushed Walty 7 days a week over a Moots.

@@carlospinheirotorres9499 he makes me feel quite dense.

@@cincas I've now taken mine on an 800k loaded ride so I'm confident it won't fall apart. The cross braces fell off, but it didn't affect the strength or stability so I think they may be superfluous.

@@SladeTakalaLamey well, now that i think I should have spent more time sanding the joining surfaces. The time will tell :) Will put mine at the end of the week with some load on top and will let you know how it went.

@@cincas good luck. Please can you send me some pics. 🙂

@@SladeTakalaLamey I will. Got some ideas how to solve some issues that came up, so will send with comments as well.

@@noodlestv522 I don't need that much clearance, I thought it was ugly and presumed it was weaker. The clearance is massive anyway. My studded 50s have a lot of space around them so I may go bigger on the next winter set.

@@CemlynGriffiths that's brilliant. My last bike was a recycle centre build, so I feel your pain. Good luck! Please send me a pic. I'm trying to convince everyone to send me their efforts for a follow up film.

@SladeTakalaLamey parts are en route, going to make a carbon plate front rack. Drill a bunch of holes for mounting. So I most certainly will send you a few photos. Love the channel btw!

@@CemlynGriffiths amazing. Good luck!! 🍀

@@traderz13 I use the Longer 10w. I can neither endorse or indict it. It works fine for me, but I'm not an expert with the Lazer, I watched a few reviews and based it mainly on price. I cut a lot of plywood and paper, but I've never asked more of it than that. (Extractor fans are a must if you value your marriage!).

@@TheTheMinions I'm still on the oneX2. Can't justify a Pocket 3 and a 360 upgrade in the same year.

@@larsmula I'll get you into it yet sir.

@@jarnoponkala it was spectacular. You should come sir.

@@chadkelly1920 I'm a long way off doing them without a fair amount of mental and physical anguish. Maybe one day I'll be used to it, but not yet!

Just checked out your channel, you should definitely come!

@@traderz13 The only bit I was a bit nervous on was when the lorry went past. Some roads are unavoidable, but generally Finland is pretty good for cycle paths and infrastructure. The route is more than 50% gravel and there's lots of 'middle of nowhere' stuff.

@@traderz13 I chose wild camping, but there's lots of camp sites along the route, some people do it in hotels and air BnB's. And nobody will spray water at you in Finland. 😏

@@michaelnewman4302 Thanks very much. The first question Davide asked me was "Did you cry?". I hear it's more common than we are willing to admit when all the energy has been spent.

@@therealsvensson I look forward to seeing you there. Welcome, we're building a community because lots of the same cree come back every year. It's brilliant.
