Multible questions about the tire bead wax and chain stay protector, so pinning the answers:
1. Chainstay Protector: As I said, some generic stuff from Amazon Japan... packaging says "Bike Friendz". Can’t find it on Amazon US, but this looks suspiciously similar: amzn.to/3tKuo5F (Can't guarantee anything though.)
2. Tire bead wax: This amzn.to/3gk5c38 seem to be the same I'm using. But other similar products for car and motorcycle tires I'm sure exist. Also called "tire bead lube". Schwalbe also makes a bike specific product called "Tire Easy fit" amzn.to/3TNFykQ but it's not something I have personal experience with.
Do you have an Amazon Japan link for the chainstay protector? Thanks.
@@EvoRides amzn.asia/d/huNB0zD
FWIW I was able to find the chainstay protector under the brand "System EX" in Amazon UK. Thanks for the recommendation!
Is tire bead wax any better than soapy water applied with a toothbrush?
@@devdroid9606 never used a toothbrush so can’t say. But in my experience bead wax is better than soapy water, for new tires it has basically been a 100% success rate for me. Reused tires can be tricky depending on how clean the tire bead is from old sealant.
This is the only channel that I actually wait for the perfect moment to watch the videos. Like today's cold autumn morning on my coffee break. Video was perfect, as always.
I'm not naturally OCD about things like symmetry, I had it beaten into me by the military. Your dedication to symmetry, angles, and measures is approaching therapeutic. If you make a compilation video of just perfectly angled STI levers, I would watch that repeatedly.
The biggest win for me is the lack of dropped seat stays.
Hi there. I live in Dresden (Germany) and im so happy to see that a small local company (BEAST) getting successful international. ♥ best wishes.
Long time fan (from the days of 100's of subs, when you weren't quite ready to be in front of the camera!). Why I love your content: you do you. Your reasons/rationale for doing X is well researched/reasoned, and when it's not, you're self-aware/self-admit that it's for pure pleasure and not for every average cyclist and just have pure fun with it.
Other 'free spirited' channels (e.g. Just watched a Path Less Pedaled vid which is what struck this thought) tend to shove pure preference as fact 'my way is the only way' down your throat to try to capture the masses with clickbait controversy pandering to their echo chambers (where as channels like Peak Torque gives preferences/opinions back it up with evidence and logic).
You may not have the absolute largest number of subscribers on RUclips (as other's have said, you deserve 20x more), but thank you for making honest content (at the highest level. If your content showed up on a Netflix feed, people would think it was a full Netflix studio content!).
Keep up the fantastic work Tobias!
Everyone has their own angle of doing things, none of them are wrong. But happy to hear you're enjoying mine ☺
@@ridesofjapan Oh for sure, it's all entertainment in the end. Just feel like the well-rounded channels (like yours) don't get the recognition they deserve! 🤘
@@lenolenoleno appreciate it mate! And happy to hear you are still here after so many years!
Was never my intention make this a big thing, and it still isn’t, I’m just enjoying process of making videos.. (well, not so much the in-front of camera stuff) so I’m not bothered by subscriber numbers or likes. Reading about viewers enjoyment from the videos, or the odd chance it actually helped someone is all the recognition I need :)
That cable routing at the front is really interesting
Agreed, while you can’t go full internal, the solution they came up with is pretty nice, you can use any cockpit, and easy access to the top headset bearing. And still keep everything reasonable clean up front. The lower you can get the cockpit the cleaner it will look.
@@ridesofjapan my worry is getting water down the headtube, thoughts?
I met the guy who import these bikes here into Japan, such a nice guy, the bike, probably the most beautiful bike I've seen.
Beautiful! Love the color and the wheels really make it look sweet. I literally flinched during the opening clip when the bike tipped.😂
Rapha Palace shirt in one shot. Nice collector jersey.
And now stage of Giro is won on Aurum! All day I was watching those high seatstays😂
My heart almost stopped in the final seconds 😅
Beautiful build!
Beautiful work and precision !!!
been waiting for this for weeks!
Stunning looking bike.
as always it's a treat to watch your bike builds.
I’m happy to see you , with this beautiful build ,
Love the frame color. Reminds me of the aethos
So looking forward to this vid and it didn't disappoint 🙂
Beautiful bike!
nice build!!
That final slowmo gave me a moderate heart attack lol
Beautiful!
Dude, LOVE LOVE LOVE that build! Holy smokes that’s a BEAST!
You make it look all-so-easy.....sweet build !
So beautiful…I love the color
Nice one. Many Thanks for sharing.
It’s so relaxing to see your build video! ❤ I love you accuracy and attention to detail
Beautiful bike! Love a race bike that doesn’t have dropped seatstays. Your build format here is truly the best I’ve seen. Super clear and concise, you describe what you’re doing exactly and show it perfectly...thank you for such quality bike build videos!
My biggest like too. Dropped seat stays annoy me like curved cell phone screens do.
Simply awesome! And a great inspiration to those of us who enjoy the ride. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your build. Thank you.
sick build 👌
The effort you put in your content is mind blowing.
most entertaining bike builder on the planet! Nice bike too!
Thanks for the great work for the past few years!
You are too kind!
Thank you for watching!
In days of tarmac sl7 and factor, this is a super fresh and great looking build and the wheeels complement it
we can say it, this bike is a Beast 😁! As usual, love your video edit!
Very nice build, so well filmed!
Amazing, as always. Kudos for keeping 3mm spacer above the stem that is good mechanic practice, good job.
what is the purpose of the extra spacer?
@@adityanathanael Just so you have better distribution of clamping force on steerer tube. When you have a little space above you can cut steerer tube flush with stem, otherwise you have to cut steerer tube that 3mm bellow stem to be able to preload headset bearings.
@@martinkroutil ah, never thought about that, thank you
The zip tie brake hose trick............ yes! I like it & will use it.
Nice video and great looking bike
Great video and beautiful bike. I'm about to build my Magma and this answered a few questions.
best build vids on the platform ❤
Too kind sir! 🙏
It's beautiful
Nice direction video
Yes!
Beautiful build Tobias! You make it look easy! I love your videos and I am a longtime fan of yours. Your love for bikes and cycling is showing in every moment. After 7 years on Aluminum I bought my first Carbon bike lately, which will be a Cube Agree SLT. Looking forward to shave some weight of those 7.7 kg (with Pedals of course)! ;-)
Looking forward to New videos!
💪💪💪
Great film of the build - certainly worth the wait.
Nice to see the breaks fitted the correct way :)
Agreed! Btw, if you're riding you should consider getting an nta helmet like xnito or bern hudson, cpsc helmets aren't that safe
It looks soooo good! Great assembly walk-thru! So much I did not know about Di2 until now. Still sticking w mechanical and rim brakes for now though. Lol
Great beautiful.
Always love the clean look of your videos. Really enjoyable! About Schwalbe pro ones, really easy to fit in the rim even without soap and wax (I was able to re fit them with a floor pump even with sticky sealant inside) but I have massive leaks everywhere. They keep pressure but I have liquid all around. Sometimea it's caused by dry sealant but even after a refill, same story
such as satisfying save there at the end, yikes 😎
You've tightened the fork expander -before- putting the stem on, hence the steerer there might have expanded & felt tighter than it would if you had put the stem on first, then tightened both.. ideally tighten the expander a bit, then the stem, then the expander again etc etc until you've reached the torque for both. This way you put the least amount of stress on the carbon & prevent it 'bulging' out or crushing inwards. I've seen this happen with forks with thinner steerer walls and might be the case why you saw the Beast Components stem feeling quite tight. This and Beast's quite good/tight tolerances..
you won’t “expand” a thick steerer tube with an expander plug…unless crank that thing with some proper force :)
It was super tight before the steerer tube was cut. (Without the expander)
@@ridesofjapan check with a good Vernier caliper, you might be surprised by the results.
@@ridesofjapan you could... happened to me.
Yes, sorry I’m sloppy… what I meant that I didn’t make a “loose” stem feel tight because I expanded plug first
the stem was super tight on the uncut steerer without expander.
I’m definitely buy that you could see a measurable difference with the
expander… but that was not the reason for the tight stem.
And like you point out, tight tolerances is a good thing 👍
Was just an interesting observation I though… Carbon vs aluminum stem.
Edit: regardless of stem, I definitely did the the assembly backwards in the video though… which was probably your main point I realize now. Apologies.
@@ridesofjapan no problem with sloppiness when it's your bike 😋 but there's a reason crabon steerer expanders should be tightened after the stem is installed. and also why those evolved so much over time, not only for weight "savings."
speaking of tight tolerances in the cycling industry made my day, thnaks! 😹
Finally
We love your videos so much that we gonna ignore the grease oveeeeeerload…. 😂 bike looks amazing.
I held back on the grease ;)
@@ridesofjapan lol
These Aurums must be about the most handsome bikes around.
Nice@!
Nice build! Yeah... about those wireless updates... There was a new shifter update last week, but it cannot be installed wirelessly.... I asked Shimano what's up... but they didn't know either. For some reason the latest update still needs the shifters to be wired to the rest of the system.
I'm going to assume future updates can be done without wiring the shifters to the rest of the system, but that there will be exceptions... :(
great video. by the way carbon fiber indeed is way stiffer than aluminum, so any part that pressure fits it is going to feel tighter, also the expander does make the carbon tube actually expand making the fit harder.
Need more frequent vids geezer !
I miss you!
I’m an old geezer, I can only do so much 😅
Cheers mate!
@@ridesofjapan
I'm having to go back through the archives and re watch some of your old stuff
No shit , best produced vids on the internet
Chapeau!
Lovely bike build and even uses my personal favorite saddle.
So nice freshly built up! Wouldn’t want it to fall over chip the paint.
Is this a sentence?
@@rjvaughn Was a poor one , corrected.
Love these bike build video, well done. Looking forward building my Emonda SLR early 2023.
Another wonderfully relaxing build video. I used your videos as guides when building my last bike up (Wilier CX race bike) and it turned out great. Keep up the good work!
🤙🏻
Awww yeah, this video is queued for the big TV when the kids are in bed !
Wow, what a build, and what amazing attention to details.
Best I've seen so far. Keep up the good work brother.
Normally I use 1.5mm hex wench as a hook to grab the hose, but the zip tie hack looks awesome!
That works in most cases, but the end of the hose is plugged, so you can't "hook" the inside of the hose. (Unless you want it to get messy)
"No bikes were harmed in this video"
19:58 using the HAG to test a new hanger is such a good practice. After testing, I remove the aligned hanger to add to my spares and the use my second hanger (always buy at least two) for final installation and testing. That way I have a tested spare hanger too.
❤️
Nice build but I cannot ignore the fact that the pre-disc bikes could easily be in the sub 6.8 kg or 14.5 lbs. without any major exotic parts?
definitely jealous of the Rapha flight jacket, been looking for that for ages!
Ah, my Sunday evening, completed. I need some of that bead wax. Great looking bike. Liking the new Di2 simplicity.
When are you going to make your first film about riding in Japan??
Your video editing is incredible!
ruclips.net/video/X-fwtmxrlt0/видео.html
❤for cutting the fork wet
ブレーキプロテクター is GOD
RED AXS could have solved the cablesalad wiggleing DI2 Cable ;-)
Hell will freeze over before Shimano make the update process on Di2 wireless and painless. @9:23
Nice job with the build. Very thorough! I did notice that you didn’t use the wire route clip for the rear mech which snaps into the inside of the mounting bolt. Just an observation. 😅
But I did, take one more closer look 😁
Cheers!
I see it now as you snuck it in without mentioning it when you were talking about the rubber cover/cap! I have a direct mount hanger on my Ostro so it appears in a different location, which it is not. As always, excellent detailed build (without mention of rear mech routing clip 😳)!
Rose Gold works
Did you forget to factor in the weight of the grease used?
:D
Keep up the good work... good videos, and super funny, lol
Woah dude! Awesome!!
S-phyre 903 on the way?
Unfortunately not… yet hehe
Have two pairs of 902 that I need to destroy first 🤪
Cheers!
Nice build and video. Can you please send the link or brand for the chain stay protector?
Can you please make a video of the tools you use and also the various greases?
Here you go ruclips.net/video/jCR5Pz8j4e4/видео.html
Its the subtle things... like the bike falling at the beginning/end... - or the "Our" Goal? - and the "Could not careless" - brings me pure happiness... and currently delaying my ride to Himeji right now... I gotta go !!
Just to mention, the XD driver is ~10g lighter than the standard shimano HG driver.
Hi I've watched alot of your videos and I'm a fan ! Want to know what are good shops in Tokyo since im visiting next week...I have an Open UP same as your old bike
I live quite close to your location. Wish I could ask you to build mine someday!!!
I wish I could subscribe to this channel twice ........
AHH thank god no dropped seat stays!
Would you mind sharing some info on the chain stay protector? Wasn’t able to find it right away. Thanks.
already had a fight with the expander plug: that's what she said
Great build and excellent video. Is there no need for an olive when installing each brake hose at the lever?
The olive is already in the lever when you get this as "kit". You will need a new olive if you ever remove the hose though.
cheers!
@@ridesofjapan ahh thanks
I really like your cycling cap :) where can I buy one ☝️
Nice build! Let me guess... the wheelset probably came from Light Wolf Studio? ;-)
Best Regards
Let me ask you: For someone who wants to visit Japan for the first time what would be your advice for going for some beautiful roadbike rides?
Check this ruclips.net/video/X-fwtmxrlt0/видео.html
What is the max. tire width please? Could not find any information on their website? Great built and review - the colour is epic ! :D
17:15
Curious what angle you put on your seat? You seem to go up steep mountains... looks like 6 degrees at a guess?
Amazing built! One question, when you switch the freehub body, did you left the red spacer in the XDR freehub or the HG body already has one in place?
Reuse the spacer, only thing you don’t reuse is the end cap which are different. (And might have to be bought separately)
How do you preload the headset bearings? Just push down on the stem when the bike is on the floor?
Just like most bikes, with the top cap 5:06
Dear Tobias!
I would like to ask you, if you have the possibility to answer... I am about to change my old Ultegra R8000 mechanical groupset to the one(R8150) Di2, you are building in this video. Please confirm if in the brake kit ( ST-R8170/BR-R8170) like you are using there is an olive included in the hose/lever combo(on both ends)...?
And thank you for your unbelievable work!
Huge fan!
Greetings!
If you get the kits (caliper + lever) the hose comes mounted to the caliper, so that side you don’t worry about.
The olive is already in the lever, so you only cut the hose to length, install the barb, remove the yellow plug in the lever, insert the hose and tighten the bolt. Done!
Cheers!
@@ridesofjapan Thank you very much! Cheers!
