Great video and much appreciated. I bought one of these last night. All has gone well apart from the front brakes. When I attached them back after installing the front wheel they seem to be very tight and not releasing fully when the brake is not being used
Thanks very much for the positive feedback. I think you can adjust the front brakes via a nut just above the pads (I.e. loosen nut and allow more wire to slide through so the brakes are open a bit more). Hope you get sorted.
Hi, I'm not sure if I was supposed to or not but I did not use any grease during this build and I am still using the bicycle regularly for 25k + cycles with no issues.
Jeepers maybe it is supposed to have grease applied. No grease came with it so I didn't even know it was supposed to have any grease. Though it's been working grand for two summers lots of use no issue, so maybe it's not super critical !!

How come your handle bars slipped straight in mine won't
Try loosening up the handlebar screw to make a little more room. Maybe on urs it's already tightened up a little too much.
did you get that bike for you and also what size did you get as im 5"11 any help will be great thanks :)
Yes this bike was for me and I use it all the time for 25k cycles. It's a great bike I'm 6 2" 15 stone and no issues at all.
Do you have to use grease for this or is it not needed
