Finally something different! Glad to see a beautiful bike built on a real steel frame. All this shiny carbon full suspension crap makes me sick. Great job!
Nicely done. Great that it's still made of 853. I have a 2010 Dambala. It was recently put back into service with it's original steel fork as as a bikepacking rig. It rolls okay on hardpack. But single track is where it's happiest.
here in the Philippines we have a well know bike maker who still use steel for bike frames his name is Ave Maldea. customed frames will take about for months because of the volume of orders he had.
I had an upgraded Wanga in the late 90’s, early 2000’s. Such a nice handling bike, and light. The lbs weighed on their scale, and it came in at 23.5. The upgrades shaved a lot of weight, including air cartridges to replace the innards of the Judy XC. So much has changed since then. We won’t talk about my Indy Fab I never got to ride.
yes, you´re wrong. the marking on the stem clearly says "zero gap" on the top screws. but he still made the mistake of torqueing the bottom screws first.
Top video😃 Hello, I can't find the rear wheel axis that goes into the frame thread for Dambala? it takes 12x148mm, but with what thread? which model you recommend
@@mtbuild4787Thank you. So it's threads 1.0? on the other hand the frame is boost? it's not 148x12? do you confirm well 143x12? (I can take the 142x12 is not too short?)
So for the 27.5 is the sliding dropout all the way in? Or depending on how wide the hubs is? Like on your video, the drop out is all the way in, we’re you running a non boost?
I've watched this build way too many times. I just love it

Me too, hate carbon
I’m terrified of carbon.

For a minute i think " OMFG another dirty jump bike" and I'm wrong.
Nice build, Nice bike.
Good job
Wow...how bloody satisfying was that? Iv never done a build in my life.
It’s not as satisfying when you know how to do it yourself lmao

In Romania we have a brand from 1955 called "Pegas" that still make steel frames, like Hi-Ten steel or Cr-Mo steel.
Philippines whoot whoot

Great job thanks for your guide. Ssy hello.
I love steel frames !
Steel bikes are real bikes
6:05 Maybe im wrong but the space between the two screws must be equal that s why u must insert them equal for a better handlebar grip.

I'm really surprised that mountain biking hasn't fully adopted the mid bottom bracket especially with its ability to take abuse
I didn't know voodoo was still around I had one I thought they were great.
I had one too, and loved it.

Wolf Tooth Rear Axle
1.0x173 mm

cyrille mongrolle you can fit both 148 and 142. I have Boost and the long version
The fork pivot was cut very short !?
No more latitude for the next owner or resale of the fork.
I Know... it was not intentional...
Nice video. But u need to put some more chilled music under the build pls🙏
Did you weigh the bike or the frame? Im considering one because it seems to be one of the cheapest ways to get into a thru axle rear.
Hi, I am considering this frame for myself. Did you put it together for yourself? Is it nice?
Can it be used for free ride?
May I know what is the size of the tires?
27.5“x2.8“
Is it ok to clamp the dropper stanchion? I’m thinking it’s probably better to clamp the dropper body or even the seat tube.
It’s fine
What grease do you recommend for the headset/bottom bracket?
Marine grease
How do you adjust to make it non boost to boost setup?
Kenneth Muriel you don’t need to adjust it, only with the Axle length.
i’m not quite sure what you mean by axle length, i guess what i’m trying to ask is do you adjust the sliding drop out to make it non boost to boost?
Kenneth Muriel The sliding dropout is for the 29“ or the 27,5“
So for the 27.5 is the sliding dropout all the way in? Or depending on how wide the hubs is? Like on your video, the drop out is all the way in, we’re you running a non boost?
Kenneth Muriel I’m running 27,5 Boost with the dropout all the way in
Sind die Aliens schon aus der Uni raus?
What did you rub on rim to get tire on cause my maxxis tire was a very tight fit and i rubbed soap from a bar on to make it fit?
Schwalbe easy Fit, that’s soap too

Is the frame steel or titanium?
It’s made of Steel

Did anyone realise that the forks were the wrong way round
Its the right way up. On some forks the arch is not in the front.
Manitou forks are like that, it's a pleasure to see one mtb build with one of them, only fox or rockshox all the time......
venia todo bien hasta que le puso ese horrible asiento blanco...
