Thx for hanging homie!!! & for the love, they ride as good as they look too, which is a bonus! Haha. Right oh!! We just picked up TWO bikes today to start on this series. A ‘90 KHS Montaña Crest & an ‘88 Fisher (before it was Gary Fisher.
Thanks amigo!! We had a blast with this one. We’re on it!!! Just picked up two vintage MTBs today to start on soon, I’m restoring my first real BMX bike soon, & I have a 1983 schwinn predator we’ll be working on soon too.
Right?! It’s super dope for an accent, I’ve never been bold enough to do an all white bike but have always loved the way they look. They look mean in white!! Problem is; one pair will last a lifetime. Haha
Used painter stripper on a frame once and the wind picked up as I was spraying the paint stripper. It got all over my arm and started peeling my skin 🤣
@@XxFarrinxXv2 I really ONLY mess w/ the Shadow chains - I built that bike during Covid & that was the only thing I could get, stoked it lasted so long but happy to be back on a Shadow v2. haha
i love working on bikes so much that i volunteer as a mechanic with a local bike charity in the winter, so i'm always going to watch a video of working on bikes! can't remember ever painting a bike but one of the free ones i took on had a lot of paint damage and my neighbor's dad had an ultrasound tank in his garage so we put the frame in there and stripped off all the paint. not sure what liquid was in there but no wire brushes necessary! didn't put anything on it though -- just put it back together expecting it to look like bare steel but it quickly got rusty.
Freakin' legendary!!! We have a FULL series coming for the winter of wrenching on bikes, we're stoked!! Those tanks rule, I used to have one at the roastery but gave it away - kinda regretting it now! haha.
@ haha that’s the process we’re going though right now. I just got a 96” work bench & a tool box, we’re building out a full space to wrench in the roastery!
Of course, thanks for hanging with us amigo!! I don't believe so but here's a link to his site - he's a rad dude: wooder-designs.myshopify.com/products/tpu-tire-wedgie-v100
Ah man, it was BAD. I cleaned & lubed it a ton but the links were literally STUCK like that & shards of metal were starting to come off, in fact Chase cut himself on it, it was so sharp - I had never seen that happen before. 🥴
Watching from down under Australia. Great video lads, both bikes look sweet. 90's era MTB refresh sounds great 👍

The bike turned out really cool! I love the white accents. Please post more restorations!
How many coats of paint did you use?
@@NikkiNexo777 I did 3-4 light coats of primer, same for the paint and clear.
Thanks amigo!! We had a blast with this one.

@@NikkiNexo777this was 4 coats of primer+paint combo, then 4 coats of clear coat. It’s holding up pretty dang well too after several sessions.
I like how it looks, white is underrated in respect to other colors. I also kinda regret buying my Demolition cranks in black and not in white.

Dude!!! That’s so gnarly. That stuff is nasty, I had a similar situation happen years ago but it blew in my face. I was BURNING up.
Can’t wait for y’all to see how this bike turns out!
I can’t wait for them to see you ride it because…you were ripping today!!!
what brand was the old chain that survived 4 years of abuse? the fact that didnt break and looked the way it did is so impressive!
It was a Cult half link! Pretty nuts, I can’t believe it didn’t snap by the time we took it off. Haha.
@@JoyOfBike ya that's crazy! I've only been on shadow v2's. You know that cult chain can take a beating.

@@JoyOfBike oh ya getting parts during COVID was a real challenge.

@@JoyOfBike nice, looking forward to that series! I'll be sure to let you know if it makes me buy any more tools for my garage ;)

The tire pop 💀 I've never had that happen, that was hilarious
Hi! Is the 3D printed chain tensioner file downloadable somewhere ? Thanks for your content !
Of course, thanks for hanging with us amigo!!

That old chain was fine, just needed to be cleaned and lubed. Wasteful.

nice bilds
Thanks yo!! So much fun. Much love!

Rattle can painting your bike is garbage! It doesn't hold up and any chemicals strip that paint right off! You need 2k paint to really hold up.
Chase has been riding it for well over a month & it's holding up great! They key is solid prep followed by multiple coats of both paint & clear!
