Actually, pounding it in works better for me. With a press you have to be super careful that the headset doesn't tilt on the chamfered edge. And you need the correct adaptors to press on the outer race. So yeah 😁 block of softwood & a hammer - it's fine!
Such a cool build! Happy hopping on it Thorfinn! I almost died laughing when Ali got a present too and then proceeded to use it to smack the headset cups in 😂
Good job Ali, bet he's over the moon happy to get such a sweet bike, AND signed by none other than AliC, DannyMac and DuncanShaw. Only thing that looked left to do was dial in those brake levers a bit for him to reach easier. Have a good Christmas.
You can make a tire insert by using a pool noodle and cut it down the mottle so You have two u shaped tubes. cut it to size and do the same, melt it and inflate like so. I’ve done it but not fully tested
Hey Ali Clarkson! Merry Xmas to You, Jane Black and those who are close to your heart! And special thanks to Thorfinn for the killer wheely! Ride ride ride!
What a video! Snow, cute bike thief v elf on the shelf, Christmas jumper, Christmas tree and bike skills. I saved it for Christmas morning as I love your bike builds, the commentary just really hits the spot each time. Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New year. Graham
I recognize the name of vandal who scribled on the top tube. Donny Magooskl, you should check him out, he does the riding you do. Dramatic music to build up the tension :D :D :D briliant. Merry Chrismass
11:16 @community What is the width of the cogs on the Trial Tech Sport Sprung single-speed specific sprung chain tensioner? Does it fit Halo DJD SS 135mm rear cogs with a vertical drop out? Is it compatible with the Gusset Tank Chain & which front chain ring would you recommend? TIA!
Well, Algorithm, what do you think? Poor little elf - I winced when he went round the chain and I don’t think the Cute Thief Mk II was giving comfort cuddles at the end, either!
I used a pair of BB7s about 15 years ago before the redesign. They were still respected over many model of hydraulic, including Avid's own hydraulic lineup. Avid used to be such a cool brand, now it's just sram poo.
16:17 do you like the smell of birth defects? Maybe you should watch the movie about PTFE (Teflon) guaranteed birth defects just from handling it, death within 2 months if you breathe it after igniting it (which DuPont did to multiple workers by lacing cigarettes with it to test its hazardousness)
We need more people doing things like this this is what gets kids riding. If this happened to me i don’t think i would ever lose motivation
Top Guy Ali ! That was fabulous to see. PS, I'm gonna send you my spare headset press!

Thanks for building my awesome Christmas present Ali!
That went from 0 - Super Wholesome real quick!!!! Happy for Thorfinn!
That elf freaks me out man. 😧 This was awesome and made me smile. Looking forward to seeing him on it in the future.
Thorfinn is an absolute ripper. Hope we see him again once the shows start and see how he's got on with it.
He'll definitely be bringing it to clan shows. 🤙
Such a cool build! Happy hopping on it Thorfinn!

Why are these bike builds so relaxing to watch?!
Thorfinn's name, hair and sport of choice are waging a three-way battle to be the coolest thing about him.

That put the stupidest big grin on my face. "I'm not crying, you're crying" 😍Thanks for the awesome video Ali . Merry Christmas 💙
Nice one Ali, didn't see the Santa thing coming. Well done
Happy Xmas to Ali, Jane, and Mr Kitty. Uncle G..
This was my first ever trials bike. Absolutely loved it! Merry Christmas everyone!
would actually love an edit with you and Duncan or Danny riding street on small 20" bikes, would look hilarious. Awesome build!
All this time I've been using tire irons like a sucker! Great video
The lil dude absolutely rips 😃

Brake reach is now adjusted 🤙❤️

Merry Christmas!
Well done Sir! And the cute thief.
That was very nice. Merry Christmas, Ali.
He's a lucky boy 😊
I love how a nice big chip appeared in the downtube after you magic'd the bottom bracket in 🤣🤣
Nothing a bit of touch up paint can't sort 🤣🤣🤣🤙
I loved the Zoolander reference! :D
I used to use hairspray to mount or remove grips, I tend to run lock-on grips these days though.
Merry Christmas Ali.

Class act Ali! Wishing you an excellent 2022!
Bless...
Nice guy Ali! Good on you buddy!
Thank you 😁
love your videos ali , merry christmas to you all !
Happy Christmas Ali and Cute thief. Have splendid day
Avid speed dial 7's are great levers for the money. I still use them with bb5's on my freeride bike and not willing to change them.
Thats so Nice :)
Wonderful.
Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas Ali!

Ali can you use half link chains on a trial’s bike???
legend
Nice build! 24" or 20"? 😍 im still using my Avid BB7 brake set on my dh bike.
I met thorfin in a skatepark in Orkney on a dirt jumper
Meryy Xmas
Can I know what this bike bottom bracket size? .
Hi Ali, I have some old V-Brakes i'm never going to use, and was wondering if I could mail them to you?
For a minute I thought we were going to hear that a baby clarkson was on the way.
Anyone notice how he wasn't bothered it was signed by Danny macaskill?

❤🤙🚲
rip to all the bike mechanics who thought the "tool" was actually a wrapped headset tool
Ali calling me an ant okay
Father Ted fan status: confirmed
why not just use a tube?
The frame looks awesome but not as good as the signatures probably worth a £1 or 2 lol
Asalamuaikum sohabat 🙏
@8:24 you didn't burp it... obvious result
:)

Is this satire?
