Thanks for the comment, and please take a moment to subscribe! That's awesome man, congrats on the new bike! Make sure you add grease into the seat tube and fork steerer! This steel frame will last a lifetime otherwise!

Thanks for the comment, and please take a moment to subscribe! The brake cable hasn't changed since before the creation of their first STI shifter in 1990, so it's not something I've ever been asked before. It's very simple though, you press the brake handle and look inside the shifter, you'll see the brake cable hole and run it through the hole in the back of the shifter. I'd recommend using tape or rubber band to hold the brake handle so you can use a light to identify the holes with your free hand.

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! It was left outside and full of rust, needed a full rebuild and back then I didn't have the tools. Got the tools to repair them myself now though!

Hi Aaron! Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe!

Glad to help! Please take a moment to subscribe!

Hi Elie! Please take a moment to subscribe! It's called a front derailleur tab, I would Google "OCLV front derailleur tab" and keep a sharp eye on ebay. Posting on Trek OCLV or Vintage bike groups would help too, someone will have one in their parts bin, I'm sure!

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! We still got this car too, still is my wifes daily drive and it's never given us an issue! I did end up replacing the harmonic balancer pulley last year, so if yours has cracks use rockauto. I also did a new valve cover recently because the car was having PCV issue pushing oil into the intake & making the gasket slightly leak. Also a big tip is to add 20539 indian head shellac onto the new intake gasket to make it super durable too.

Hit it harder!

Hi Rick thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! I always have leftover synthetic oil from oil changes so I use that.

Hi Jeff, thanks for the question, and please take a moment to subscribe! I still have this rack, actually, and it's been great. I just added more straps! The brackets and all are in the description and they're meant to lock into the pipe I used its designed for. They're able to handle more than any bike weight you can get on there and the top part makes for a great shelf!

Hell yeah man, that is awesome!!! It's such a under dog of a bike, but I love to hear it! Sounds like you got a sweet build, crazy to think how long they'll last now!

Congrats on the awesome bike and thanks for subscribing! I just rebuilt one for a friend with a 9 speed group, still a great bike!

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe. I'm aware of the shifters you're referring to and it's a different type all together. I also have a video on those shifters with the "door" you can watch here: ruclips.net/video/Lir-6v3Su6I/видео.html

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Great, question I totally forgot to add this in the description! I used this install kit: amzn.to/4ekNjJe

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Were these wheels original to the frame you installed them on?

Hi JG I am sorry but it is impossible for me to diagnose your car through comments and I did this job almost two years ago. I can tell you right now though if something is binding up, it is not timed correctly. You are likely having the pistons hitting the valves and you need to start all over. The issue is the belt is a tight squeeze like you are experiencing but as you get the belt on, pressure moves the cam gears and or the crankshaft. You need to check it over and over and over, as you slowly get the belt on. It is tough, as a new belt is CRAZY THICK & STRONG but use a red paint marker to mark your timing marks and use good lighting to keep an eye on movement.

Hi William thanks for the kind words and please take a moment to subscribe! We still have ours actually haha, my wife has been driving it every day and I just did some things I wished I did back when I filmed this. Two things: 1. It's likely your plastic valve cover's built-in pcv is clogged or damaged. I tried to clean ours when I did this repair but it clearly wasn't enough. We started experiencing a vacuum leak randomly, I pulled the intake manifold this weekend to find the gasket coated in oil. The PCV being clogged pushes all the pressure into the little hose running into the intake near the throttle body and pools down at the gasket, ruining it. I bought a new valve cover off rockauto.com for $70. 2. Coat paper intake gasket in Permatex gasket shellac on one side, put on head and coat the other side then install instake manifold. amzn.to/4fr6ZMD

Phil Gnarly you said it man! Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe if you love projects like this, it's all I do haha! I sold this to a freshman who was gonna keep for a really long time he said, always cool to see a project bike become the workhorse it should be!

Hi Mark! Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! You're absolutely right about these sora derailleurs, the spring perch is badly designed and breaks off over time, seemingly 2024 is when they all self-destruct haha. I upgrade them with a newer generation you can find here: amzn.to/3Uy86BX . Nice job on the carbon fork and new groupset! Sora works really well but adding on some high quality speed parts isnt just about nicer feeling shifters!! You can fit 32c tires on these bikes by the way!!! I have another blue one just like this but an ocr3 (sora) and I tried just for fun, as wayyy back a guy said he fit 30c's easily in the comment of this video I believe. Anyway that's insane, I don't know why these OCR's are so underrated but I can't complain!

I didnt have to loosen my waterpump but I did use some rubber clamps to hold the belt on the cam gear, I would recommend zip ties to help if you dont have clamps. You can definitely leave the tensioner loose to help though.

I definitely don't disagree the system can be a little hard at first

Hi Gio! Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! I got two Giant road bike videos coming out soon!

Hi Fred! Thanks for the comment, please take a moment to subscribe & congrats on the new bike! I personally am not of fan of the 1x craze. I think a triple is awesome especially when you implement climbing into your rides, although the original Sora derailleur was not good and he likely went 1x because it broke. The spring perch is badly designed and breaks off over time, I upgrade them with a newer generation you can find here: amzn.to/3Uy86BX . You can also convert it to a 2x and add a larger cassette! My favorite setup on a double is an 11 -30T cassette with a 52T & 38T chain ring setup. I use this rear derailleur which matches the front I linked earlier, older ones can has issues clearing the 30t cassette: amzn.to/3AowGOT & here is the cassette: amzn.to/3YyJNVV . If you go double you'll want that front derailleur instead: amzn.to/3Yx8cuL

@@D2WrenchWorksDIY Thanks for the info really appreciate it! I am subscribed. Thanks again.

Awesome thanks for becoming a subscriber!

Hi Timothy thanks for the kind words and please take a moment to subscribe! A polished aluminum frame would definitely look very cool, you're gonna have to be patient, polishing is a chore! Take your time and make it yours though man, projects should be fun! Checkout my more recent videos too, I've done a bunch more cannondales since and more on the way!

Hi Timothy thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Congrats on your new bike man, that's a smoking deal!

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Awesome bike you got there, they truly are a hidden gem! Very cool on the titanium bits too 😎 👌

Hi JG! Did you figure this out? I have a video part somewhere explaining it, that I can locate for you if you need.

Many thanks JG!

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! If you'd like an in depth purchase walk-through I offer this on my patreon but I'm happy to answer a couple questions! 1. Always make sure you inspect the frame and watch some videos on identifying carbon damage, if you aren't already familiar. 2. For a clean frame without any major cosmetic flaws, PLUS a complete Dura-Ace 7700 groupset for $440 is a GREAT PRICE! Dura-Ace 9 speed is some of the best road stuff you can buy, only downfall is shifter grips are becoming rare and you need to keep an eye out by setting ebay alerts.

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Unfortunately, I sold this mower when I moved in August. In the description you'll find a link to an online owners manual I used for diagrams though! I also used the model # and jackssmallengines.com to find missing parts off my mower using their diagrams too!

Thanks for the question, and please take a moment to subscribe! Yes, good quality for sure! If you checkout many of my recent build videos you'll find videos of me shifting them with microshift shifters. Very smooth shifts.

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Congrats on an important repair! Often times bikes have HUGE cable lengths and are setup super loose! I ALWAYS recommend to upgrade to Shimano pads and Sealed housings, the stopping power difference will be shocking!

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Congrats on your new bike! I no longer have mine but it was a very cool bike! If memory serves me correctly, when I posted the video it sold.

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Very cool & congratulations on your new bike!! There's not many of them around in the USA either, it's a very cool find!

@@D2WrenchWorksDIY thanks for your answer ! do you know about how much is it worth in usa ?

Just now seeing this! I'd imagine around $550 pretty easily if all stock

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! One thing I forgot to mention is to check your blade spindles while you're in there, I ended up doing both of mine 4 months later.

Hi again! I always just used new oil (cheap) but yes you definitely want to lube up all contact spots on the cams and when dropping in the lifters on the sides and top! These are the only areas that're important. Assuming you already bled your lifters out, dont forget that before install! If you pulled your fuel pump fuse like me, you will leave it out once finished and turn the car over for 20-30 seconds. This'll prime the engine with fuel as well as oil, so nothing will be dry and it'll start up quicker.

Many thanks again! You are moving right along on this job my friend! Make sure to get the specific Antifreeze I use btw!

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Unfortunately I can't find my original craigslist post anymore but I feel like these were 25c or 28c tires and space wasn't an issue. I almost always have a build sheet but its been a while since I sold this bike, sorry!

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! I'd try measuring with a micrometer and see if amazon has some universal kits. If not try ebay or Vintage Cannondale Facebook groups, there are some cannondale guys on there with hard to find parts!

Thank you, kind sir!

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! I totally agree though it's such an awesome bike!

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! I'd use a 1/2" ratchet and a pipe it'll break that bolt loose easy!

Timestamp what you're talking about

Charm.li is the free reference I'm using, probably easier to figure it out if you see the book.

I'm in USA we are late adapters to metric system unfortunately lol. I am just telling you what the specs are from the book, don't shoot the messenger! For smaller numbers like 10 ft/lb I do convert them on my phone to in/lb and use the smaller torque wrench when needed. To be honest anything this low 99% of people just ignore and do it by hand lol.

@@D2WrenchWorksDIY Thanks. But I am Canadian LOL! Ultimately, I used the torque wrench only for the first tightening. Then I simply used the old method, i.e. tightened it by hand as before! LOL! Thanks. Now I move on to the next stage: lifters

Nice man! Great work!

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Heck yeah those are very cool and definitely a sought after road bike! If you look back my very first video (don't hold it against me lol!) it was a Schwinn MTB inspired from the Schwinn PDG and I do a part 2 of the after build! Those are definitely PEAK Schwinn days IMO! Maybe one day I'll find one my size and on a budget!
