@@matthewcain2880 thanks, I picked those up from our last trip in Osaka, perfect size to fit in our luggage to bring back. I meant to do a build video on that bike but been busy moving house and work, hopefully soon I’ll get sometime off to edit and upload them.
@@matthewcain2880 yup we bought two, one black one white, I was told the white one is a limited edition, the size is great for ppl lives in the city where space is very limited, we saw a lot of them over there.
Outstanding! I just disassembled mine and waiting for parts to arrive. Did your 820 have a large plate that the front derailleur attached to? It looks to be held in place by bottom bracket.
Thanks mate, the bar is a NITTO B802 HT riser bar from BlueLug Japan, the perfect rise and back sweep on these 90's frames IMO, but get it while you can, I waited for over a year for Nitto to make the next batch after I missed the last run.
Thanks, tires are billy bonkers 26", older MTB are mostly 26", makes it harder to find replacement as most the wheelset nowadays are 27.5" with disc brakes.
It depends on your quill stem really, either 25.4 or 26mm, or you can do what I did in the other video ruclips.net/video/qiY3Jaxw4yw/видео.html converting it to a threadless stem then you get a lot more handlebar options.
nope, it's my first 1x 12 I also thought the chainline looks bad until I compare it with my friend's 1x11, it's quite normal and it rides smooth as butter with the easiest gear, chain wear is normal.
I just bought an 820 all the parts are in great shape, I'm going to restore it.
Nice, these bikes are indestructible.
Love the foldable bike in the back

@@Lab7Projects that sounds like an awesome trip, I love Japan. I’m a huge fan folding bikes I have a tern. Is yours a Dahon?

Cracking build mate!
Cheers mate.
Nicely done. Thanks for sharing 👍🙌
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks sick
thanks
love seeing old steel get upcycled (pun intended) and I dig the MKS pedals - I use the RMX pedals. The Brooks is classy
Cheers
Beautiful bike
I love it
Dig the video.. have a 94’ 820 that took a back burner for an electric fat tire bike n I miss the regular bike
Thanks, love these old MTBs, just picked up more parts for it while I was in Tokyo.
Linda bike. Bom trabalho.
Great job !!
Thank you!
Outstanding! I just disassembled mine and waiting for parts to arrive. Did your 820 have a large plate that the front derailleur attached to? It looks to be held in place by bottom bracket.
Thanks, yes there was a plate, I can't remember if it was connected to the crankset or BB, but removing both got it off.
Did you have to switch the hub or the wheel to fit that new cassette?
no, you can use nx cassette on most retro wheels/hub, from GX and up is when you need to use the xd hub.
Love the build, but why did you reverse the brakes? Why does the right lever control the front brake?
Every motorbike I’ve ever ridden has front brake on the right. And MOST bicycles. Let’s stay consistent people! 😂
@@noelreklawevery bike in our bike shop is opposite..
@@ClayKirby-sj3zycould be wrong, but I believe it’s uk/Europe standard to do it that way, where is in the us, left for front, right for rear
Depends on the lug position on the frame and the brake type .
Cheers mate, it's just how we always do it in Australia, different country different standard I guess.
what size the OLD freehub…for 12s…is there 135mm or 142..it seem 135mm most common old bike with QR
135mm, Sram NX is the only 12s that fits.
What size bb did you use? I’m building a 94 mountain track right now and can’t find any info. love the build
you need to measure it, usually are 68mm width, but for what bb type it will depends on your crank set.
Where did you get the Trek logo?
@@eliemusic93 it’s the factory logo, I didn’t remove it
Great video. Which Nitto handlebars are those?
Thanks mate, the bar is a NITTO B802 HT riser bar from BlueLug Japan, the perfect rise and back sweep on these 90's frames IMO, but get it while you can, I waited for over a year for Nitto to make the next batch after I missed the last run.
Nice; very nice.❤
appreciated
Great rebuild! I'm curios if the tires are both 26" or the retro is bigger (it's seem bigger ...I suppose 27.5 ")
Thanks, tires are billy bonkers 26", older MTB are mostly 26", makes it harder to find replacement as most the wheelset nowadays are 27.5" with disc brakes.
Just got the same bike. Do you know what kind of handlebars it takes?
It depends on your quill stem really, either 25.4 or 26mm, or you can do what I did in the other video ruclips.net/video/qiY3Jaxw4yw/видео.html converting it to a threadless stem then you get a lot more handlebar options.
very cool build! The chainline looks really bad though, are you having any issue with the easier gear?
nope, it's my first 1x 12 I also thought the chainline looks bad until I compare it with my friend's 1x11, it's quite normal and it rides smooth as butter with the easiest gear, chain wear is normal.
Awesome! I guess we'll see how it holds up through time@@Lab7Projects
Your rear tire is in wrong way on the wheel.
Thanks for paying this much attention, I found out after my first ride and changed it.
Why SRAM, AVID..? Such a shame
Sad to see this bicycle lose it's originality .
