@@itsm3th3b33 that's what the bike fitting rig is for.

Thanks for the weights it's so refreshing to see a spot on match of weights claimed by manufacturer... Considering this frame costs 2k less than sworks Tarmac & that thing is 80+g heavier than claimed even fork was off....great job rbc & giant 👏👏
It's from bikestettings.com to get the exact geometry for every single rider. It's the most important part of the build since all the angles and especially the saddle has to be in the perfect position for the rider to compete in races like the tour de France. Every pro tour team uses such a system, in our sunweb Cervelo pro build its the same, the Maclaren Bahrain Team has a slightly different one.
I've always done it that way. Part of it is habit from the days of Cinelli 1A / XA and 1R stems. When the newer/current style of bar and stems came out I just loosely put on the front plate and inserted the bar. Just seems quicker and easier.
I know its trendy to completely blur every single shot in these videos, but it's okay to use f/2.8 or above and have a bit more of the shot in focus :)
Thanks for the Feedback 👍 I perfectly understand what your mean, but with the constant new framing of the shot and stepping back in order to have the full bike in the frame and still have a nice background it's easier (and I often don't have the time anyway with the teams) to leave it at f2.2. With the close up details f2,8 and above would often work better
You just have to be a little patient 😀 Especially with frame weight a lot comes down to paint. On the Giant there is around 50g of black paint, the Trek (white with rainbow stripes) probably has around 150-200g of paint 😳 project one bikes shure looks awesome , but it's certainly not for weight weenies
I see many times in these videos using Shimano grease and Anti seize in direct contact with carbon. Which one is the best so doesn't hurt carbon? thanks
this was amazing to watch, but im curious.. where exactly did they install the Di2 Battery? i never saw that part, or at least i dont think so, maybe io missed it where they installed into a clamp of sorts in the seat-tube prior to mounting the saddle and bracket. i want one of these frames but was not sure as to where the battery would go if no standard seatpost
You can spot the Battery at 3:15 when he's inserting it into the seattube. They have a own clamping system for the battery which should come with the frame, but you can buy it in the aftermarket as well: www.giant-bicycles.com/gb/internal-seatpost-di2-battery-holder
I noticed that the decals on the frame and wheels are filled in. How do the parts differ on the team CCC bike vs the model that's delivered to the consumer? Edit: I also noticed that they're rocking shimano and not sram. Just to add to 'I noticed that'.
Hello! I am in MTB for almost 2 years and I am converting to road bikes....What do you think about Giant Tcr Advanced 2016 model? - Is it good for beginners? - What is the perfect size for 1.78 cm Height? - Can I do packaging with the bike
Olympic rider: this is a bike that can win me medals. Those wires are negligible in its aero impact. Me: I need to upgrade from a TCR to a SL7. The TCR is impacting my ability to win medals. It’s a slow bicycle.
Looking at all the new tools that I'd need to maintain the hydraulic lines, I think I'll stick to rim brakes. Much easier, cheaper and is plenty good enough. And lighter to boot.
Good job apart from handlebars tape on in wrong direction,,,always start winding away from the bike otherwise when holding bars your constantly trying to undo it
They are from cema and have the benefit of being perfectly straight aligned when you screw them in. The downside is a slight weight penalty compared to a plastic cup press fit bb. www.cemabearing.com/bicycle/bicycle/press-fit-bb-series-interlock.php
normally all parts are weighed before they are installed, i.e. the fork with complete steerer tube, the brakes with full cable length, therefore the total weight is sometimes a bit lower than the sum of the single parts
Yes, you caught us there 😅 very well observed, it was one chain link too short. We desided to use the time while he installed a new one for a quick toilet break and a battery swap and hoped nobody would notice 😬 later on the length is correct.
interesting that when he puts in the brake fluid he doesn't use the bleed block but rather the pad spacer. Great video edit: also ultegra rotors with a dura-ace build
Is there a reason why people don't keep the dust out of the bike when cutting seatposts/forks??? I'd flip the bike upside down to keep all this composite particles out...
This is a dropout-style workstand. Clamp-style workstands are fine, seatposts are meant to be subjected to clamping forces, but not if your bike is like a Trek Madone's.
giant manufactures for trek scott colnago and other brands maybe they dont have much hype like other brands but are the bigger and more professional big scale bike factory on the world if this bike had a sworks print on it you wouldnt say that for sure and its just marketing

Cutting that solid seatpost to the right size must be terrifying. Imagine getting it wrong.
measure twice, cut once! 😅 And watch out for the DI2 batterie in the seatpost 🙈

I could watch this all day, I love my Giant TCR(s)
Giant TCR .... one of the best made frames full stop.
Wow ... Dream bike. Excellent solution of the threaded bottom bracket.
Such an incredible build. Thank you for using a torque wrench. Many builds I've been seeing from other folks don't.

I would be very happy to have my bike build by Andy. Great attention to detail.
Really enjoy watching the whole process!
The passion comes through!
Great to hear! :)
Terrific video one of very best and detailed video of any bike build on RUclips.
Superb attention to detail and thank you.
gets better every time I watch this
such a nice video for anyone wishing to learn how to assemble a bike professionally!
I want him to build my next bike! Damn he's good.
The mechanic's name is Wrench, Torque 😉
Very pleasant video, thanks
With all the professional fitting rig, the mechanic still had to eyeball the straightness of the bar and stem🤣
I was thinking the same thing!
Old school ways rule :-)
Beautiful
Forza Matteo,ora tocca a te!Punta sui pedali!!!!🦾
Wow~ Giant Tcr really well
will love see this of the Propel....
Beautfiul bike. These videos are amazingly well done. So cool!!!
Superb bike, fantastic video!
What a nice frame❤
Over the top! E forza Matteo!
crazy superlight!!!
Perfeita !! Essa Giant é o meu sonho !! Perfeita
When the time comes, i'll get this one.
Bellissimo come sempre 👏🏼💪🏼👏🏼💪🏼, sto aspettando con ansi il montaggio della nuova trek émonda srl 2021 🤓. Al prossimo video 😉
Besides being the wrong size for me, this position seems like one mere mortals could ride, I like that
Beautiful bike!!🤙🏼🤙🏼

I have literally never seen anyone install a handlebar like that lmao
saves you the time to insert all the screws from the stem again and makes the handling easier.
@@roadbikechannel Yes, I think that is genius too. Sadly it doesnt work with aero handlebars.
integrated cables might be tough too 😅 but for the "normal" bar it shure is the easiest way
@@roadbikechannel said someone with electric screwdriver 😅
I've always done it that way. Part of it is habit from the days of Cinelli 1A / XA and 1R stems. When the newer/current style of bar and stems came out I just loosely put on the front plate and inserted the bar. Just seems quicker and easier.
You can tell he's a pro cause he wraps the bar tape the right way ;-) Beautiful bike, too black for my taste
Una joya montada por un maestro
It's simple type but gold giant ❤
6:33 the only part I can relate to
Setting up Di2 is so beautiful... Etap/AXS almost destroys that.
Connecting cables sure has its own charm! :)
Damn this is art.
Very concise a bike it is.
Im late, I didnt saw my notif sorry for being late but still you impress me with another amazing build bike
What a beauty!
i thought the BB was BB86 pressfit on the Giant TCR, somehow in this video it looks like threaded?
it's the same doubt that came to me
It's from cema and sort of a thread in press fit. It assures that the bearings are perfectly allaigned and makes the maintenance a lot easier.
@@roadbikechannel thanks for answering, i will take a note of that. Best of both worlds!
This is the same bike the Philippine Navy Cycling team is using for their road races.
Great job!

19:35 6.76kg Ultra Light!
Actually too light. They add weight under the bottle cage to reach the UCI 6,8kg minimum weight limit.
@@roadbikechannel doesn't the race transponder and number plate enough to to reach the limit ?
GIANT is the best !!!
765g with seatpost???? wow thats extremely light
Greg Van Avermaet’s bike in the background
Unfortunately, GVA will be on BMC next season.
Right and left handlebar taped in opposite directions??
I noticed it too and have to check twice, cause can't believe it :D
Oh no, regrets
I learned wrap from the inside out, so clockwise on the left and counterclockwise on the right. And at the brake-levers you switch the direction.
@@sergeterhall8453 no, he wraped the tops in opposite direction. Should be in the same direction.
Whats the difference?
The white paste you applied before putting in the bottom bracket, is it grease or thread lock?
Opa! Giant tcr! Like já! 😍👍🏻
Well the wheels itself do the job - in total ~ 2.4kg with cassette and discs
Yes, tubular wheels are very light
Please get a trek Émonda slr & weight the thing it would be pretty cool to compare real weights also please mention the sizes of frames in videos..
You just have to be a little patient 😀 Especially with frame weight a lot comes down to paint.

I hope in the near future there will a colnago build :)
Their is

Nice. more upload like this pls. 🤗🤗🤗
Awesome process! What colour is the frame?
i own the tcr advanced sl pro 1. solid bike. The only problem is the cable routing. If and only if giant can make it look cleaner. 🤔
i really like how you measure the bike damn cool tho!!!

normally all parts are weighed before they are installed, i.e. the fork with complete steerer tube, the brakes with full cable length, therefore the total weight is sometimes a bit lower than the sum of the single parts
What unit you are using for weight measurements?
What is the brand of your stem?
Interesting that they didn't use a PF86. What bottom bracket is that?
It is bb86. Just the thread together cema bearings
Didn't realise the team CC bike came in an SL version.
What's the spray you put on the handle bars?
That's brake cleaner in case there is any minineral oil or grease on the bars.
What size was that frame out of interest?
Medium
