Building A Simple Fixie Commuter Bike - Bright Pink Charge Plug
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- For a while now I've wanted to build a relaxed fixed gear for commuting on. My old road bike fixie is awesome. It's quick, light and reliable but I wanted something more modern, more relaxed - something like the Charge Plug.

Ahhh... Sooo relaxed now. The magic operated once more. And then you just ride it your own way. Ahh... So good. Thanks !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Damn I miss my charge plug. Great build ❤️✌️
Thanks Sketchy.
I really love fixie with riser bar
On this bike I think they work!
Love your builds! Any of them. So therapeutic to watch!
Glad you like them!
Nice build Mark, that came out spectacularly well ( especially that pink colour and blue accents ) and it looks to be the simple relaxed ride you were after ! I was very close to buying a powder blue Plug around 15 years ago when they were still relatively new, but I just couldn't justify the cost and storage space at the time, but I still keep an eye out for a good second hand one as I still like the styling !
Thanks! This one is a 2015 I think. I think it’s quite a relaxed ride. Front brake squeals a bit despite adjustments but apparently that’s a thing with the plug 🤷♂️
Selle Italia Turbo is my favorite saddle
It’s a classy comfy saddle.
Love the car throttle guys in the backround during the wheel build
Not Car Throttle anymore 😉 Everyone left that channel and made their own.
YOO!! Bike looks sooooo good!! Love the pink 🤌🏼 also. You’re not letting that single speed thing go…… 😅
😂😂 I’m just messing with you bud. You did that 100 miles in a time I never could. You’re excused from the fixie riding!
Yes! Finally get to see the build of this one, I’ve loved it ever since you put that short up not too long ago.. the pink is so bright I don’t think the camera is doing it justice 😅
Haha yeah the pink is extremely vivid IRL. I thought my Handjob was a bright vivid pink but next to this is looks almost plain!
I love this. Blue and pink is a great choice. Definitely change the tyres for white or tan was to complete the look.
Ooo no. Couldn’t do white tyres. Tan walls yeah but all white tyres get too dirty for my liking.
Needs more lofi! 🎶
Noted.
Sick. I give you +85 Fixie points.
Zach? Is that you?
the color scheme reminds me of the double bubble gums that came wrapped with a comic
😂 yeah I can see that!
love the color of ur bike
Thanks!
It's looking sick 🎉
Thanks!
Very cool sir.
Thank you!
nie one. and a lovely cameo from Torvey 🙂
She has to check the work occasionally!
44:15 - thats a nice gear ratio and singlespeed forever😄
Fixed. Fixed gear. Non of this single speed nonsense 😂
Bike is so cool I think it needs a basket upgrade.
Nahhh the blue plastic veg basket is fineeeee
Eyyy a new upload
Bit sporadic at the moment but they're coming!
Heyyy saludos desde México 🤘🤘🤘
Hola, espero que disfruta la video! (If that's not right, my Spanish is a little rusty! Sorry!)
Which bar would you put on Boardman URB 8.9 Urban Hybrid Bike to have more relax position but to look good as well?thanks
JONES H bar or any bar with a bit of back sweep will help.
Whatever you feel comfortable on! Everyone will have a different opinion. I love Bullmoose bars for a relaxed position but they don't always work on a bike. Sometimes a simple flat bar works well.
I'd call the color "Pepto Pink"
Haha yeah I see that!
that's something i've never tried is build a wheel from scratch! is that just oil you're dipping the spoke threads in to?
Yeah it’s just ATF. I’ve seen people use a variety of things but it’s just to make tensioning a bit easier.
I'll never understand fixies or single speeds. But I live in a city with 90-120m hills, no matter the route.
Meh. I don’t like single speed but I enjoy riding fixed. I can still ride hills. Just have to get the right ratio or be prepared to put in the effort.
Is that a Izumi chain and did you wax it?
It is. And no I didn’t.
Nice, but no kickstand ?
Nope. Never used one.
@@MonkeyShred try it occasionally, they are so practical
Where's the front rack info 👀
Oooo I missed that. Minoura Gamoh I think it was
Autoalex, Taylor and Scott, Rattatossa 😮
I'm a car guy at heart ;)
But why would I want a fixed-gear commuter?
Did someone say you should get one?
@@MonkeyShred Yes. The RUclips algorithm basically suggested it.
@@solarheat9016 I mean that’s great it’s getting suggested. I’m just building the bike for myself though - if you want to do it to - go for it.
